Toyonaka Mentetsu (Toyonaka-shi, Osaka)

I think that Toyonaka Mentetsu, located near Toyonaka station in Hankyu Takarazuka Line, is the most famous ramen shop in Kansai area. Many ramen shop masters had studied and worked as clerks there, and then they have opend the clone shops in Kansai. They are called "Mentetsu-Kei" or
"Mentetsu-group," but they are few shop under the direct control of Toyonaka Mentetsu.

I love the noodle of Toyonaka Mentetsu, that has specially erastic and smooth character and rich flavor. Because Mentetsu means the marverous specialist of ramen noodle. Incidentally their ramen soup has the highest quality. They have two regular soups, shio-blend and syoyu blend, looks clearly and tasts deeply. Their chashu pork grilled ewll is bigger than another shops.
