Mugi to Mensuke 麦と麺助
Osaka's top-rated ramen counter on Tabelog and a Michelin Bib Gourmand: a pristine chicken and soy broth, house-made noodles and silky wagyu wontons, a short walk from Nakatsu.
Special bowl with wontons and extra chashu: ¥2,200
About
Mugi to Mensuke is the sister shop of Moeyo Mensuke and the bowl Osaka ramen obsessives argue about most. The signature kura-dashi shoyu ramen pairs a clear, deeply savoury chicken broth with aged soy tare and thin, springy house-made noodles; the toppings (low-temperature chashu, a jammy seasoned egg and plump wagyu-filled wontons) push the spend higher than an average bowl, which is why the typical bill is closer to 2,000-3,000 yen. It has a Tabelog score around 3.9, sits in the Ramen OSAKA 100 list and holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand. Expect a queue at almost any hour on the street east of Nakatsu Station.
