Visit Osaka: Ramen Kazuya

It can be challenging for a family of 5 to find a place to eat in Japan, especially when there are mostly hole-in-the wall spots.  After being turned away at one restaurant for no availability until past my bedtime, we Google mapped nearby restaurants and found Ramen Kazuya.

We lucked out at this tiny, eight-seater ramen shop.  Only 2 seats were occupied, and there were 5 seats in a row so we could all sit together. 

You order through the shokken (ticket machine).  

Dip Noodles

I love Tsukemen, so I had the Dip Noodles.  The noodles were thick and chewy, and the cha su so tender.  The chicken broth was delicious.

Kazuya Special

The Kazuya Special is a chicken broth ramen topped with cha su, nori, menma, leeks, and egg.  

Spicy Ramen

One of my kids had the spicy ramen and he said it was very spicy - he kept having to drink water.

Gyoza

The Gyoza was fried perfectly - crispy and golden brown.

Ramen Kazuya was a great find!
