Osaka, Japan｜麺匠 はなみち 十三店

Do you like rich brothy miso/kontotsu ramen? Because OH MY GOD, THIS PLACE IS THE BEST!!!! Literally my favorite ramen shop in Japan. Seems like ramen has two very distinct types and this is the good one. Love this place!!

Bumping it up to five because, while it's not quite my favourite ramen place, it is my favourite for miso ramen, even after a trip to Sapporo. Very tasty broth (I'd suggest akamiso, but you can't really go wrong), and you'd be unlucky to get anything other than tender meat in it. Staff are typically jovial and friendly, and if you're around for a while it's pretty common to get given a 100 yen discount coupon once you've paid.

Except with the inconvenience of not having English menu, the miso soup are really thick and delicious. Very warm and friendly environment. Noodle is softer than my favourite but that is personal preference.
