Makotoya

Late on a Sunday night my friend visiting from out of town and I were looking for a new bowl of ramen to try. We were in the Shinsaibashi area, and didn't have a lot of options, but one place I've always overlooked was Makotoya. A beef bone ramen shop, it looked generic and I had heard middling things, but this was the day I would give it a try.

ある日曜日の夜に遊びに来た友達と一緒に行ったことないラーメン屋さんを探していました。心斎橋にいてどこに行けばいいかわからなくて、まこと屋が気になりました。チェーン店のイメージがした牛骨ラーメンの店でしたけど、行ってみることにしました。

The Bowl
The milky white broth was a beef bone gyukotsu base, with a shoyu tare. It was pretty generic as I expected, but not bad. It bared more than a passing resemblance to tonkotsu shop Tobei. The thin hakata-style noodles were pretty good, and so was the extra half-boiled egg I added for my ramen.

ラーメンのスープは牛骨ベースで醤油たれが使われました。ミルキーなまろやかで昔に食べた藤平に似ていました。博多風細麺がよくて、とろり半熟玉子もけっこううまかったです。

Would I Go Again?
It was fine but not amazing; I probably won't go again.

おいしかったですけど特徴はそんなになかったのでたぶんまた行きません。

Should You Go?
There are more interesting shops in the area.

その辺にもっといい店があります。
