Shi43ya

Despite the fact that I had a filling bowl of tsukemen earlier in the day, I found myself in Osaka at night and hungry. It was pretty late, and although usually I would prefer takoyaki at times like this, there was a new hot late night ramen shop I wanted to try.

Shi43ya (pronounced Shijimiya) is named after shijimi, a shellfish featured in their main shijimi shio ramen.  It's hidden in an alley by a bunch of bars, so it's hard to notice. I was tempted to go for the shijimi miso ramen, but for my first time I had to stick with the classic shio.

その日に前こってりのつけ麺を食べたのに結局夜に大阪にいておなかすいていました。夜遅かったので普通はラーメンよりたこ焼きを食べたくなりますけど、新しい深夜ラーメン屋さんに行ってみたかったです。

Shi43屋(シジミ屋という意味)は結構穴場って感じでいろいろなバーと隠れている横町にありました。シジミ味噌ラーメンを食べたかったですけど初めて行ったのでおすすめのしじみ塩ラーメンにしました。

The Bowl
This was shio ramen at its simplest, yet with the unusual twist of a bunch of clams thrown into the mix. The broth itself very light, salty, and clear; kind of like a thin clam soup, as opposed to some of the richer shios I've had before. I would generally prefer something a bit deeper, but for late night post (or mid) drinking, the simple soup, chewy noodles, and clams are a refreshing way to hopefully keep that hangover away.

こんなラーメンはすごいシンプル塩系です。透明なスープはめっちゃあっさりで薄めのしじみスープの感じがしました。普通はもっと濃い塩が好きですけど、飲んでからのラーメンにとって、これは最高でした。もちもちな麺といっぱいのしじみを食べると二日酔いがないといいですね。

Would I Go Again?
Yeah maybe, if the conditions were just right.

また深夜にそんなラーメンを食べたければまた行きます。

Should You Go?
If you like late night shio, this place is for you.

しめ塩ラーメンが好きなら行った方がいいです。
