Osaka Osakashi Yodogawa-ku Nishinakajima 5-16-1 Shin-Osaka Station Building 1F/2F

Mimiu is a Japanese cuisine restaurant that has inherited the traditions of restaurants in Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture with a history going back 200 years. Mimiu's signature dish is udon suki (seafood and vegetable hotpot served with udon noodles) made using a special Kansai-style broth. To ensure that diners can enjoy the scent of freshly-sliced Sodabushi (dried Bullet Mackerel), every day just the amount of Sodabushi needed for that day is sliced up and delivered to each branch of the restaurant. Besides luxurious banquet-style dishes, Mimiu also offers a reasonably-priced lunch menu, including a Hina Suki set meal that combines Udon Suki with snacks. Mimiu (Shin-Osaka Branch) has a Draft Beer Set Meal not available at any other branch, which combines food options with draft beer.

Osaka Osakashi Chuou-ku Minamisemba 3-8-1

A venerable udon noodle shop located in Osaka City’s Chuo Ward said to be the originator of kitsune udon noodles. When the restaurant was first founded in 1893, it served the inari fried tofu separate from the udon noodles, but after it became common for customers to add the inari to their noodles, the restaurant began serving the noodles with the inari already on top. The dashi stock, noodles, and spongy, juicy fried tofu made according to the same recipe as when the shop first opened are the taste of old Osaka.

Udon soup the same for any toppings. One of the bowls I got a tiny piece of fish cake. No surprises. Size of the bowls are pretty small, not filling at all.

本格的なランチタイムが始まる前の午前１１時３０分ころに訪問したところすでに２人が店の前で待っている状態。どうやら１１時の開店でどっと席が埋まり、１回転目待ちといった感じだったので、その後は席が次々と空いてすぐに座ることが出来ました。メニューを見ると「ちく玉ひや天」がオススメのようなのでソレを注文。最初はなんのことやら分からなかったのですが、料理が届いて納得、具材のことだったのですね。具沢山だった...

Osaka Osakashi Higashinari-ku Higashiobase 1-1-4

This is a quiet Sanuki udon noodle store, located about a minute on foot from Tamatsukuri Station on the JR Osaka Loop Line. The characteristic of the noodles is that they are very chewy hard noodles which few Osaka people were familiar with. Japanese wheat is matured for two days, so one can sense the smell of the wheat when biting into the noodles. For the soup stock, they are using natural Kombu and bonito which goes well with noodles to make a white soup and to curb the sweetness of the soup stock. Popular dishes at the restaurant include “Toriten (tempura style fried chicken) curry Udon” which is topped with three large tempura style fried chicken pieces and “MK noodles accompanied by dipping sauce” which is made using Hungarian Mangalica pork.

有名店。混み時間を外して訪問。何と言っても鶏天カレーうどんが断トツのお勧めの。サクサクの鶏天3つのってます。ボリュームもかなり有り、2玉の400gがデフォルト。昼時のライスサービスだと、男でも完食できるかどうか。エプロン出してくれるので、服への飛び跳ねも心配無し。
