"Osaka’s native Takaida-kei ramen has been mostly forgotten in the shuffle of new-wave shops, but Menya Jouroku is the happy exception. It has garnered a ton of extremely warranted praise from ramen cognoscenti for delivering a rich soy broth without overwhelming saltiness, topped with thin-cut pork. Also worth trying is the chuka soba, or Chinese-style noodles in soup. On the first Sunday of every month, come before 10 a.m. to experience Jouroku’s special breakfast ramen." - La Carmina, Michael Sosnick
