Are you only eating ramen when you go to Osaka? You have to eat sea urchin kimbap too!

How long are you going to eat only Ichiran Ramen? Osaka Namba Ramen restaurant Ramen Ebi Pachi with special menu Uni Gimbap! This is the restaurant where I had the most delicious ramen during my trip to Tokyo, Osaka, and Fukuoka, Japan. For dinner on the last night of my trip to Osaka, I decided to go to Ramen Ebi Pachi, a ramen restaurant near Kuromon Market, which is close to my accommodation. Since I came to Japan, I had to eat real ramen, not just convenience store cup ramen. 🏮Ramen Ebi Pachi ラーメンEBIパチ 🍜 2 Chome-12-23 Nipponbashi, Chuo Ward, Osaka, 542-0073 Japan 🍜 Business hours: Everyday 11:30-14:30 / 18:00-21:30 🍜 Features: Ramen specialty store -No tonkotsu ramen- / Uni kimbap / Cash only / Food may take a long time to come out because it is a one-person operation. 🩷 Location and atmosphere Ramen Ebi Pachi is a 5-minute walk from Apartment Hotel 11 Kuromon 4 where I was staying. It's very close, right? It's located on one side of the road to Kuromon Market, but the area around the restaurant is dark, so you might pass it by without looking, so look around carefully! In a dark alley, you can see the red lights that you would see in a Japanese izakaya, the soft lights coming from inside the store, and the OPEN letters on the tent-like door, indicating that the ramen shop is open. When you open the plastic sliding door that looks like a food stall and go in, unlike the slightly scary dark outside, the inside is bright and cozy, with a wooden bar table surrounding the open kitchen, making it a ramen shop with a late-night diner feel. 💜 Various alcohol & drinks Although it is a ramen shop, there is a wider variety of alcohol than ramen. If you are a drinker, you will definitely like this place! They have Asahi draft beer and bottled beers such as Asahi, Sapporo, and Kirin. In addition, there is SOUR, SHOCHU, HIGH BALL, NIHONSHU, UMESHU, and WINE! Sawa is a refreshing + sweet cocktail that mixes plain, lemon, Calpis, lime, and yuzu chuhai with Japanese shochu or distilled liquor, and highball is a cocktail that mixes whiskey, vodka, rum, and the refreshing taste of carbonation, so there is a slight difference. There are also soft drink menus for non-drinkers, such as Coca-Cola, oolong tea, Calpico, and yuzu soda. 🩷 Types of ramen Ramen Ebi Pachi is a ramen menu with a broth base of shrimp + salt, soy sauce, miso, and chicken broth. Please note that there is no tonkotsu ramen that Koreans like! There are shrimp salt ramen, shrimp miso ramen, shrimp soy sauce ramen, and scallop ramen with shrimp broth base, and chicken broth ramen comes in two flavors: basic and spicy, and you can adjust the spiciness up to three levels. It is not very spicy, so it may not meet the expectations of those who like spicy food. There are also special ramen here. The ramen toppings consist of 1 egg, 2 wontons, chicken chashu, pork chashu, and 1 scallop, so you can add whatever toppings you want. 💜 Shrimp Soy Sauce Ramen Actually, when I ordered it, I thought it was soy sauce-based ramen with shrimp tempura as a topping. In Korea, it's rare to make soup with dried shrimp and soy sauce, right? The clear broth is good for a clean meal, but it's not familiar because the dried shrimp flavor is strong. So this ramen may be a hit or miss. 🩷 Spicy Chicken Broth Ramen The orange-colored broth catches the eye. The ramen broth is thick and smooth like a dense coffee crema. Above all, it has a clean taste because it doesn't contain red pepper powder. I can't eat Shin Ramyun because it's spicy. I made it spicy at level 2, but it's different from the Korean spiciness, so I think it would have been okay to make it spicy at level 3. It's definitely a delicious ramen, but when you eat it, you feel the richness rather than the spiciness, so when that happens, it's good to eat it with beer for balance! Soft and refreshing nama beer and ramen are the best combination. 💜 Uni Gimbap Ramen Ebi Pachi doesn't just sell ramen. They have a special menu. It's not written on the menu, but it's posted separately on the wall. I ordered uni gimbap among the three menus: sea urchin and egg yolk rice bowl, sea urchin and salmon roe yolk rice bowl, and sea urchin gimbap. I can't eat fishy food. So it's only been a few years since I've had seafood, but this was my first time eating uni. The uni gimbap came out with black seaweed spread out like wings. It was a long piece of seaweed, and white rice was placed in the middle, and sea urchin was piled high on top. This one bite of uni gimbap costs about 30,000 won. I didn't know sea urchin was this expensive. I took a bite of the sea urchin roe kimbap and it didn't taste as fishy as I thought, so it was okay. Actually, since it was my first time eating it, I don't know what sea urchin roe tastes like, but my sister really enjoyed it. She said that sea urchin roe is sweet. I need to learn more about seafood. But I was satisfied with trying something new and special. :) 🩷 Chicken Tataki Mini Rice Bowl In addition to ramen and uni kimbap, they also sell rice. The basic rice comes in three sizes: small, medium, and large, and the mini rice bowl menu includes ikura rice bowl, ikura scallop rice bowl, chicken tataki rice bowl, and char siu mayonnaise rice bowl. Although it's called mini, the amount of rice is quite large, so it's enough for children to eat. 💜 It's good to know before you go Ramen Ebi Pachi is run by a single owner. They make ramen on the spot as soon as you order, but if there are a lot of orders, the food may come out slowly. It's good to wait while having a beer or two with plenty of time to spare. There are still many individual stores in the Namba area that only accept cash payments. Ramen Ebi Pachi also only accepts cash payments, so make sure to bring cash. #OsakaTravel #OsakaRamenRestaurant #RamenEbiPachi #OsakaRamen #JapaneseRamen #OsakaNambaRestaurant #KuromonMarketRestaurant #UniKimbab
