Tucked away in the vibrant streets of Osaka's Shinsaibashi district, Jinrui Mina Koko no Ramen offers a culinary experience that resonates with both tradition and innovation.
Their "Natsukashii Shoyu" (Nostalgic Soy Sauce) ramen presents a clear, amber-hued broth infused with the delicate flavors of seafood, balanced by a touch of sweetness and aromatic oils.
