Ramen Yokozuna Hirakata — Restaurant in Hirakata

Along the steady pulse of Route 1, beneath the soft glow of red lanterns in the night, Ramen Yokozuna Hirakata quietly waits. Open 24 hours, it’s not just a place to eat—it’s a place to breathe. A shelter for the hearts that wander, for the workers whose shifts end with the sunrise, for the souls who just need a moment of warmth.

Inside, the hum of steam, the clatter of bowls, and the scent of rich tonkotsu broth feel like an embrace. You don’t need to speak much here. Just slide your ticket into the counter, take your seat, and let the ritual begin.

Then it arrives—a bowl of Negi Miso Ramen, its creamy miso broth glistening beneath a soft mountain of green onions. The heat of the soup, the gentle chew of the noodles, and that quiet moment when the world slows down—suddenly, you're not just eating. You're being held.

Want it richer? Softer? Spicier? Here, your preferences are honored like a conversation between chef and guest. And the free green onions, always there at your side, remind you that little joys make a meal memorable.

At lunchtime, set meals pair your ramen with a comforting bowl of char siu rice or softly glistening tamago gohan. It's simple. Humble. And yet it feels like it was made just for you.

Ramen Yokozuna Hirakata doesn’t try to impress. It just stays—quietly, consistently—offering a seat, a bowl, and a pause from the noise of life. It’s the kind of place that feels like it’s been waiting just for you. And when you leave, heart and stomach full, you’ll find yourself already thinking about...

The only thing I can compliment this place on is the soup which is a tonkotsu shoyu based soup. However that is all I can say. The chashuu was the most thinly cut and dry meat I have ever had in Japan. The texture of the noodels was akin to a wet sponge. I cannot recommend this place. The only thing keeping it from 1 star status...

ラーメン作り好きです😊「チャーシューメン」いただいたました。約20年ぶりの訪店です。具…最初っから多めのネギですが…卓上のBOXからも入れ放題…ネギ好きの人には天国です👼、チャーシューは昔ながらのちょっとパサッとしたタイプのロース煮豚…ペラペラの薄切りですが…これにネギを巻いて…ラー油醤油付けたり、卓上のニントン(にんにく唐がらし)も巻いて食べるとメチャ旨です😋、あとメンマが乗ってます(メンマのコメントが薄い😅💦)。麺…加水少な目ちょっと細めストレート。スープ…豚骨醤油でドロっとした感じではないですが豚のコクと香味がよく出てて、これはたまに食べたくなる感じわかりました…あと後半はニントンを溶いて担々麺風に味変してもメチャ旨でした😋実は…低加水麺が好みでないんで初訪から遠のいてましたが、ラーメン自作するようになって長年人気のお店の味が気になっての訪店でした。今回よりによって「柔麺」にしてもらうの忘れましたが😱…麺が変わったんか🤔?自分の味覚が変わったんか🤔?…昔感じたほどの低加水感は感じず…麺も美味しくいただけました。あと…ランチタイム割引されてた「黒豚餃子」が皮パリパリでメチャ旨でした😋ちなみに…写真は絵面が寂しかったんで煮玉子代わりに餃子乗せてみましたが…スープを吸った餃子も旨しでした�...
