About

Opened in 2014 on the second floor of the Nakanoshima Daibiru tower, Sekai Ichi Hima na Ramen-ya went viral for its self-mocking name and a menu that delivers anyway: a glossy shoyu ramen with a pronounced soy aroma, plus seasonal bowls. Office workers fill it at lunch, tourists photograph the sign, and it has earned a place in the Tabelog Ramen OSAKA 100 with a rating near 3.7. It is convenient for the Nakanoshima museums, a short walk away.
