Kamukura Shinsaibashi Branch

Kamukura Shinsaibashi is a ramen shop in Shinsaibashi, Osaka, that serves ramen topped with a generous amount of vegetables. Instead of tonkotsu, the broth is a clear soy-based chicken stock with napa cabbage and thin noodles, and the flavor is adjusted with chives, garlic, chili oil, and gochujang. Orders are placed at a vending-machine-style device, and the cooking process can be watched in the open kitchen; on a weekday at 13:30 the wait was about five minutes. Once seated, iced water is served first, and the bowl has thank-you messages in multiple languages on it.
