Chinese Noodles Yairo Shop — Restaurant in Osaka

The queue was pretty slow moving, but step into the shop and you'll understand why. A cozy little shop with about 8 counter-only seats, the 3 staff work pretty fast in the narrow space to dish out bows of interesting ramen.

My shoyu ramen came with a generous serving of meat and the broth was just the right saltiness. The fried/dried enoki mushrooms added an additional depth to the broth.

Even better than the first time, so flavourful and cooked to perfection. Special mention to the two amazing hosts, Kazuki-san and his young cook Yusuke-san, very friendly and great to chat...
