Mugi x Tori — Restaurant in Osaka

There was a tori paitan shop opposite my hotel that made me a fan. I wanted to try another place and found this one near my hotel so I decided to pay it a visit.

Like typical ramen shops, it has a vending machine out front which dispenses your order chit (cash only). There’s a laminated menu in English and Korean too. I was trying to figure out what the “special toppings” were when the very helpful despite busy waitress came over and explained that it came with two pieces of chashu and chicken (1 each normally) and a soft boiled egg.

The food was absolutely delicious. The broth was so rich and creamy. Everything was wonderful but coming from a mainly carnivore, I personally felt that the bamboo shoots...

I thought ramen was good until I tasted the Dried Noodles X Special topping.

The way you eat it and the taste of the broth added to the overall experience I had there.

Funny thing is that I followed the notice in japane first until the employee points out the English version on the back. Training my japanese will be for later then, but she was right pointing out this version because I did have it right in japanes at all 😅

Anyways, English and Japanese way-through how to eat either ramen or dried noodles, as suggestions of course. It helped me compose and enjoy the meal I was served in different ways. Much appreciated 🥰

Totally recommend the place, and the waiting time if you have some. We hadn't,...

This is what I would classify as a “modern” ramen that experiments with new techniques, flavours, and ingredients.

Tried the sea urchin flavoured ramen. The broth was very unique and interesting! A blender was used to aerate the broth and create a frothy texture, which I’ve not seen anywhere else so far. The taste of the sea urchin was somewhat lacking, but the overall taste of the broth was very strong and clung onto the noodles well.

Overall, it was a very refreshing take on ramen and I’d recommend everyone to give it a try if you’re looking to try modern ramen styles.

Great vibe and...
