Men ni Hikariwo Bettei
麺に光を 別邸
Overview
This renowned soy sauce ramen shop, an annex of the main "Men ni Hikari wo" restaurant in Amerikamura, opened right near Nankai Namba Station. It features a golden soup made with premium ingredients like Oku-Kuji Shamo chicken, Kyoto duck, and whole chicken, combined with a unique tare (sauce base) that blends four types of soy sauce, primarily using the highest-grade soy sauce from Yuasa Soy Sauce "Kadoucho," established in 1841. The signature "Shoyu no Hikari" (Light of Soy Sauce) is an elegant bowl with a fragrant hint of yuzu, highly praised for its two types of rare chashu (chicken breast and pork) and melt-in-your-mouth ajitama (seasoned egg). "Kai no Hikari" (Light of Shellfish) is a salt-based soba featuring broth made from Hiroshima oysters and asari clams, an irresistible dish for shellfish enthusiasts. "Dashi no Hikari" (Light of Dashi) is a Japanese-style soy sauce ramen incorporating niboshi (dried sardines), katsuobushi (bonito flakes), and konbu (kelp). The presentation is artistic, and the beautiful arrangement of the noodles is particularly well-regarded. Registering as a LINE friend offers a complimentary ajitama or chashu topping. The ticket vending machine includes English descriptions. Cash only. Located under the elevated tracks of Nankai Namba Station, it offers easy access without getting wet, even on rainy days.
