ICHIRAN Umeda Hankyu Higashidori

Ichiran Umeda Hankyu Higashidori is a branch in Umeda, Osaka, serving tonkotsu ramen at partitioned single seats. The standard bowl is ordered by choosing broth richness, noodle firmness and spice level, then adding garlic, green onion, chashu and egg. Customers buy a meal ticket from a kiosk and set their preferences on an order sheet. On a weekday at 6 p.m. the wait was about 10 minutes, and the shop is small with nowhere to hang clothes.
