Satsumakko-ramen Higashitemma sohonten — Restaurant in Osaka

A great place for ramen!!! This restaurant was visited by Keanu Reeves and other celebrities.

The restaurant has ample seating and has a nice atmosphere to it.

The staff here are very friendly and welcoming - it was great.

The ramen was delicious. The noodles were cooked perfectly, chashu was soft and tender and the soup was the perfect balance of flavour. You can add extra chashu or garlic (please note that the garlic is chopped and not grated)

Cash only and there is a smoking area outside the restaurant.

The restaurant is also open 24 hours a day and is frequently visited by locals (can get busy at times)

Will be back soon for another delicious...

A bit of a walk from the nearest metro station, but it was worth it. The food was really good for it's price point and the servings were generous. I got the large roast pork ramen, and it could've fed 2 people, and it was worth 1800 yen. Such a steal. They also ask if you prefer to have garlic in the ramen, which is nice, since it's really garlic heavy and might not appeal to some people. They also offer free rice during lunch time.

As for the amenities, they have a restroom with a Japanese toilet.

Overall, it was a good meal...

The worst ramen I have had in this Japan trip. The roasted pork Raman does not taste like roasted at all, the pork was a bit fatty. The broth was not yummy not even thick, and the texture of ramen itself is like instant noodles. Didn’t know how it could be “looking” famous. I saw some celebrities photos there, mostly from Korean. So I guess it is more Korean-favoured ramen??? I don’t know but I won’t try it again The price is even high than other ramen stores...
