Ginza Kagari LUCUA osaka

This is an Osaka branch of "Ginza Kagari", a chicken paitan ramen shop with its main store in Ginza, Tokyo, which has been awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand. It is located in "Bal Chika" on B2F of LUCUA, directly connected to JR Osaka Station. Their signature offering is the Tori Paitan Soba series, especially the "Tori Paitan Truffle Soba" which is an artistic masterpiece that merges ramen and French cuisine. It features a rich chicken paitan soup, as creamy as potage, luxuriously blended with black truffle paste and white truffle oil. Slurping the noodles while mixing the soup offers a luxurious experience where the aroma of truffle fills your nostrils. The limited menu item "Clam and Oyster Soba" is a dish infused with a rich shellfish flavor, crafted with a dashi made from shellfish and kelp, and can be enjoyed with yuzu and fried onions for a change of taste. The noodles are thin straight noodles from Tokyo's Mikawaya Seimen, offering an al dente-like chewiness and wheat aroma when slurped. Toppings are colorful and abundant, including moist chicken breast chashu and seasonal vegetables (such as corn, broccoli, bamboo shoots, sweet potato, daikon radish, and fruit tomatoes), creating a Western-style composition that transcends the concept of ramen. The interior, unified with a calm wood-grain decor, features 8 counter seats where you can watch the chefs' skilled movements up close, and 5 tables for two, totaling 18 seats. With English menus available, it's a popular spot often visited by international tourists, selected as one of Osaka's Top 100 Restaurants in 2025.
