The 38 Best Restaurants in Osaka, Japan | Eater

"There’s no better example of new-wave ramen than Moeyo Mensuke. Started by classically trained chefs, the austere, expensive-looking storefront still commands painfully long lines. The exquisite duck ramen is more than worth the wait, putting the luxurious flavors of Wakayama prefecture’s revered Kishu duck at the forefront of a shoyu (soy sauce) soup. The bouncy noodles and rare, smoky duck meat on top round out a bowl that’s way more opulent than its price point. Know before you go: Be ready to wait in line 30 minutes to an hour. Arrive before 11 a.m. or 6 p.m. to be among the first through the door for lunch or dinner." - La Carmina
