Ramen Bakajikara

I don't make it to ramen shops outside of Osaka city as much as I'd like. That's why I'm happy when any shop decides to bring their business closer to me. Ramen Bakajikara is a rare miso shop, and just recently they decided to move from the suburbs of Sakai right into downtown Namba. Bakajikara specializes in spicy ramen, and whenever I'm at a shop like this I get confused on where on the spicy spectrum I should order. For their numbing spicy kurenai miso ramen they offered levels from one to three, so I played the middle and ordered level two.

大阪の田舎の店にあまり来ません。それで、そんな店が市内に引っ越ししたらうれしくなります。らーめん馬鹿力は大阪であまり見ない味噌専門店です。堺市から難波に移転してきました。名物が辛みそで、辛さはどうしたらいいかを悩んでいました。痺辛紅味噌ラーメンを注文して、辛さ1から3まで選べました。真ん中の2にしてみました。

The Bowl
This was an intense, flavor-packed miso, loaded with spices and crushed pepper. From the moment my lips touched the soup I could feel the numbing peppers begin their slow course of removing feeling from my mouth. The noodles did not hold back; they were medium-thin but chewy in a similar way to tantanmen noodles, and they brought the spice with them. Otherwise to cut the heat there were a smorgasbord of veggies: bok choy, carrots, kikurage, onions, and more. Really, though, they were all just vehicles for slow demise of my taste buds.

 すっごいこくがある味噌でした。香辛料も山椒の香りだけで鼻がしびれました。スープノ一口めを飲んだ瞬間に口がビリビリしました。麺もそんな感じでした。担々麺にちょっと似ていて、辛かったです。野菜もたっぷり提供してもらいました。チンゲンサイ、ニンジン、キクラゲ、タマネギなどが乗っていました。だんだん舌が感じられなくなってきました。

Would I Go Again?
Yes.

はい。

Should You Go?
Yes.

辛いものが好きな人は行きなさい。
