Best Ramen In Osaka
Ramen is one of the quintessential Japanese soul foods. In the city of ‘kuidaore’ or ‘eat until you drop,’ it’s no surprise that Osaka also takes its ramen very seriously. With over 2500 ramen joints in the city, competition is stiff, which means a high concentration of amazing and affordable noodle bowls in the city.
