Ramen Sengoku Day 1

Another ramen festival! These are getting more frequent in Kansai, and as long as they keep having them, I'll keep going. This time is the Ramen Sengoku in Nishi-Umeda, manned by a variety of Kansai ramen shops, and a couple out-of-towners. I didn't expect I could hit this event more than the Dotonbori Ramen Festa, but once was not quite enough.

For my first stop, as tends to be the case at these things, I had an miso from Osaka shop Gachinko Ramen Do Hiragi.

またラーメンの祭りです!関西には最近どんどん頻度あがってきています。あったら、私は絶対行きますけど。今回西梅田にある「らーめん戦国」イベントでした。道頓堀ラーメンフェスタみたいに何回も行けたわけじゃありませんけど、二回以上行けたと思いました。

最初やっぱり味噌にしました。大阪の「がちんこらーめん道 柊」の濃厚大阪味噌らーめんを頼みました。

The Bowl
This was a sweet and milky, smooth miso. There was a healthy dose of pepper and cooked onions on top of the flanks of menma and cabbage. The noodles were miso-style yellow and curly, and a great mass of fatty bacon-style chashu was shipwrecked on one side of the bowl. A solid hearty bowl to make sure I'll be hurting after my second.

まろやかなで滑らかな味噌でした。胡椒と焼いたタマネギが入って、そのしたにメンマとキャベツがいっぱい入っていました。麺が味噌ラーメンらしく黄色な縮れ麺でした。チャーシューがベーコンっぽくてでかい一塊でした。ガッツリならーめんだったので次のはしんどそうでしたけど。

Bowl number two was to be found at chain shop Norio. I've had their chicken ramen once upon a time, but I was much more intrigued at their curry ramen made with Awaji Island onions.

二軒目はのりおにしました。鶏らーめんを店で食べたことがありましたけど、淡路島玉ねぎ本格カレーラーメンには気になりました。

The Bowl
This was an oily curry, with a bit of spice to it. There was an egg placed right on top, which helped the noodles meld together and drag the curry with it. The chashu was a bit dry, but the fried potato bits on the side became a nice mixer and helped the bowl stand out.

油っぽいカレーでピリ辛でした。玉子が真上においてあって、麺とまぜたらくっつけました。チャーシューはちょっと乾いていましたけど、揚げたポテトのパン粉みたいなやつをまぜたら美味しかったです。
