Ramen Hayato

A popular ramen shop in Minami-Morimachi, Osaka, famous for its miso ramen, with just 7 counter seats on the street level. The owner, who trained at "Kadoya Shokudo," is known for meticulously preparing each bowl, and the shop is listed among the Top 100 Ramen Shops in Osaka and has received a Michelin Bib Gourmand. The signature "Miso Ramen" features a soup made from animal broth blended with fish powder, stir-fried in a wok with lard. Unlike types that form an oil slick on the surface, this one offers a grainy texture and rich flavor derived from koji. Ginger provides a sharp accent, and yuzu peel on top of white leeks leaves a refreshing aftertaste. The homemade medium-thick flat noodles are both elastic and supple, perfectly picking up the rich miso soup. For an extra luxurious topping of char siu (additional 1,000 yen), you can enjoy multiple cuts of Kagoshima Kurobuta (Black Pork) and Kirishima Kogen Royal Pork, including shoulder loin, belly, and marbled cuts, all at once. The clear broth "Shoyu Ramen" (Soy Sauce Ramen) and "Shio Ramen" (Salt Ramen) offer a completely different experience from the miso, crafted delicately with only Hinai Jidori (chicken) based animal broth. Yuzu peel is a common accent, reflecting the owner's aesthetic. The clean interior features rules based on the owner's strict preferences: "No artificial fragrances from perfumes or hair products," "Please refrain from private conversations," and "No photography other than the food," fostering an atmosphere that values the time spent enjoying ramen.
