Sawada Shoten — Restaurant in Osaka

Really good! The broth had a very rich flavour, you can taste the fish part (sardine and mackerel) that goes really well with the herbs and spices.

This hidden gem deserves far more than its current 3.9 rating—it’s easily a solid 5-star experience. I stumbled upon this restaurant by chance, completely unaware it had been recognized by Michelin for five consecutive years. Now I understand why!

The Dan Dan noodles here are nothing short of extraordinary. The broth is rich and flavorful, with layers of depth that reveal themselves with every bite. The pork slices are perfectly tender and juicy, adding the ideal balance to the dish. Having tried Dan Dan noodles in China, I can confidently say these are even better—authentic yet elevated.
