Hanamichi

A couple years ago I swung by a shop called Hanamichi in Abiko. I ordered their shoyu ramen, which was a pretty solid bowl. Well on this night I find myself in Shin Osaka, looking for dinner. Another branch of Hanamichi happened to be close by, so I decided to find out what the miso I didn't get to try all that time ago was like.

二年ぐらい前にあびこにある「はなみち」という店に行きました。醤油ラーメンを頼んで、おいしかったです。今回新大阪にいて何か食べたかったです。はなみちの支店が近くにあったので食べる機会がなかった味噌を食べてみようと思いました。

The Bowl
The strong miso tare flavor came through in the bowl, though it clearly had a tonkotsu base. The underlying soup was porky, garlicky, and salty, all in just a little bit too high quantities. The curly noodles fit the bowl pretty well, hot from the grease but with a bit of chewiness to them. The chashu too was mixed - there were a couple of small slices that were mostly fat, but also melted in my mouth. It was a solid bowl overall, but a bit on the salty side.

豚骨スープの味が濃かったですけど、味噌たれの味も感じました。スープは塩辛くてけっこうニンニクが入っていました。縮れ麺がもちもちで熱いスープと合いました。チャーシューは油っぽかったですけど口でとろけました。全体的にうまかったですけど、ちょっと塩っぱい方でした。

Would I Go Again?
Maybe, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

また行くつもりじゃありませんけど、近くにおなかが空いたら行っちゃうかもしれません。

Should You Go?
It's not a bad bowl if you're in the area.

店の近くにいるなら行ってもいいです。
