Ramen Satsuma — Restaurant in Osaka

Dropped in around 3pm on our last day before flying off, only the chef owner was around. He struck us as a considerate, serious and introverted elderly gentleman so we were a little intimidated at first. He didn't speak at all, but let his food speak for itself. Ramen noodles were okay, but the broth was tasty and the chashu was melt-in-your-mouth amazing!

Don't be intimidated by the shopkeeper and come try it...

Sometimes these random local places in obscure alleys do serve you the great ramen you least expect. Price to quality is just what I expect. Great ramen if you like a moderate broth that isnt too taxing for digestion. I loved the addition of garlic.

The owner does not know English, but do provide great...

Tell you what - just across the road from the chaos of dotonbori road was this great little restaurant. Very unassuming from the outside, but absolutely amazing ramen. Meat melted in your mouth. Stock was light but so flavoursome. Amazing gyoza...
