Shiru Nashi

Tantanmen is one of my favorite kinds of ramen (or ramen-like noodle dishes if you don't consider it ramen), and there's really not enough in Osaka. Let alone soupless tantanmen. But in steps Horie newcomer Shiru Nashi, brought to you by the same parent company as Kyuji. They opened in a good location, so I went with a friend to try their namesake dish - soupless tantanmen.

麺料理の中に担々麺がけっこう好きです。汁なし担々麺はもちろん、普通の担々麺もあまりありません。で、きゅうじを作った会社が堀江に「汁なし」という店を開きました。いい場所でできたので友達と一緒に汁なし担々麺を食べに行きました。

The Bowl
This is the simplest kind of abura soba - some eggy noodles, onions, sesame, and a solid dose of ra-yu chili oil. Mixing it together gives just a light tantan taste, with Sichuan numbing spice that grows a little bit with each bite. There's nothing deep here waiting to punch you in the face after each bite, just a simple, solid execution.

シンプルな油そば。黄色い麺、ネギ、ごま、ラー油。混ぜたらあっさり坦々味がして、だんだん山椒が利きます。パンチとかはなくて、本間に薄めのおいしさです。

Would I Go Again?
Yes.

はい。

Should You Go?
If you like soupless tantanmen.

汁なし担々麺が好きなら行ってください。
