Menya 7.5Hz+ Umeda

Menya 75Hz Umeda is a shop that carries on the tradition of Higashi-Osaka Takada-style ramen, located in the highly competitive restaurant district on B2F of Osaka Station Front No. 2 Building. You can enjoy the unique world of Takada-style ramen, characterized by its distinctly black, rich soy sauce soup, thick, straight noodles with a firm, chewy texture, and large pieces of chopped green onions, exactly as it looks. Surprisingly, despite the dark color, the soup is moderately salty, delivering a pungent flavor with a direct hit of soy sauce's sharpness, while the richness of the dashi broth blends with the soy sauce's saltiness to create depth. When ordering, you will be asked, "Are thick noodles okay?" (thin noodles are also an option), but thick noodles are the default and offer the best experience of Takada-style ramen's charm. The thick noodles have a springy texture, soak up the soup well, and combine with the meaty chashu and large green onions for an incredibly satisfying meal. Another feature is the astonishing cost-performance of 680 yen for a regular ramen. The shop also offers a wide range of set menus, such as Set A (regular ramen + flavored egg + white rice for 1,150 yen) and Set B (chashu ramen + heta-don for 1,220 yen). Although it's a small shop with only 9 counter seats, partitions ensure private space, making it easy for solo diners to visit. It operates continuously from 11:00 to 20:00 on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays (closed Thursdays, no mid-day break), providing peace of mind that you can eat even at irregular hours.
