Ide

Some shops change owners quickly in Osaka, and some shops change so often that you can't recommend them to someone before they are gone. Ide is the shop in Amemura that replaced late night shio shop Kuramitsu. At the time of writing, Ide is already gone, however, and has been replaced by a new tonkotsu shop.

Ide is a branch of a tsukemen shop located in Kitahama, associated with Menya Teru and Tsukemen Senmonten Matsuura. Sounds like a thick gyokai tonkotsu tsukemen, which is what I ordered.

大阪にはよくつぶれてできる店がありますけど、アメ村にはめっちゃ変わる店が一つあります。前行ったときに「くらみつ」で井手になりましたけど今別の店になってしまいました。

井手は北浜にある店の支店です。麺や輝つけ麺専門店まつ浦にも関係があるので、やっぱつけ麺の店です。普通の「つけ麺」にしました。

The Bowl
This was a thick and sweet bowl of tsukemen; the broth and noodles were both super thick, to a degree I don't usually see outside of Tokyo. It was a welcome change from some of the thinner tsukemen often found in Osaka, and if there was some spice added it would have resembled my beloved Enji from Tokyo, or Nagoya's Yamasho. Hidden below the surface of the soup were chewy chunks of oily chashu, and equally thick blocks of menma. A shop this good and filling shouldn't be open in the stay-up-late drunk ramen part of Amemura...which is maybe why it no longer is.

ドロドロの甘口のつけ麺でした。麺とスープはめっちゃとろみがあって、東京風のつけ麺みたいでした。大阪にある薄めのつけ麺と違ってちょっと辛くしたら東京の大好きなえん寺か名古屋にあるやま昇に似ていました。スープに入っていたのは部厚くて油っぽいチャーシューで固めのメンマでした。こんなおいしい店はしめラーメンのアメ村に存在できるのか?と考えて、なくなりました。

Would I Go Again?
I would like to, but it no longer exists. I did go to the main shop, though.

また行きたいですけど、もうなくなりました。本店行ってみましたけど。

Should You Go?
It no longer exists, so you'll have to stick with Suzume.

もうつぶれたので雀に行くしかありません
