[2025 Osaka Restaurant] Travel Guide for Ichiran Ramen Dotonburi - Main Building (Updated Jun)

#January travel support event #Trip Moment Review #Overseas travel #Osaka I went on a trip to Osaka with my friends!! We went for 3 nights and 4 days, but I think it was a bit disappointing that we had an afternoon flight when we left and an morning flight when we came back ㅜㅜ But we had a lot of fun on the second and third days!! *I'll tell you about the travel expenses (per person) first* Flights: 341,400 won Accommodation: 190,437 won for 3 nights and 4 days Others: 1. Universal: 86,900 won 2. Gas pass: 51,400 won 3. Rapid (round trip): 23,800 won 4. Insurance: 10,900 won 5. Transfer: (with discount) 8,400 won Expenses = 713,327 won Other personal expenses: about 700,000 won (I bought a lot of souvenirs) Total: about 1.4 million won (I spent a lot on souvenirs, so my personal expenses were 700,000 won, but if you save, you can save 500,000 won!) I stayed at a hotel called 'Holiday Inn Osaka Namba' in Osaka Namba, and it was clean. The staff is also friendly, so I recommend it! The accommodation is about a 2-minute walk from Dotonbori, and Don Quijote, Takoyaki, etc. are all very close, and it only takes about 9 minutes to walk from Namba Station, so the location was very good. On the first day, I arrived at around 6:30, left my luggage at the accommodation, and ate takoyaki at the takoyaki place in front of the accommodation, and did my first shopping at Don Quijote! (It was my second time coming to Osaka, so I had an idea of ​​what to buy and how to do it) On the second day, I went to Namba and Umeda, and saw Umeda Sky Garden, Hep Five Shopping Mall, and visited Shinsaibashi Parco Department Store, and visited Namba Drugstore, etc. On the third day, I went to Universal Studios!! There were so many people even when I went to Open Land 🥲🥲 But I think I enjoyed going to about 5 places! I was able to enter Nintendo World safely!! Harry Potter Forbidden Journey was so fun that I rode it twice!! I really recommend it!! It's not scary at all or anything, but it can be a bit shaky, so I recommend people who get motion sickness not to ride it.. On the fourth day, I woke up at dawn, ate ramen at Icharan Ramen Beikenkan, and went to Kansai Airport! It was a short trip, but it was really fun!! I recommend Osaka to everyone :)

Search to Dotonbori side of the 24-hour operation, one of the night early back to the hotel, not hungry to take a shower and then go down for supper! It wasn't too late though, we got there around 8:00 and was already in line out the door. The queue took about an hour to get in. As in Hong Kong, there is a clerk in front of each separate seat taking away the order sheet and delivering the food; the ramen in a column is really super delicious! Compared to ordinary ramen shops, it really has its own uniqueness, the rich and fragrant soup is simply unbeatable! 😋😋😋 You really have to try it when you come to Japan! And it’s much cheaper than in Hong Kong🥹🥹 It’s only 980Yen a bowl~ 🍜Ichiran Dotonbori Store Annex Address - 〒542-0071 4−16, Dotonbori 1-chome, Chuo-ku, Osaka, Osaka Prefecture Environment/Facilities - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Features - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Price per person - HKD55 Rating - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #Japanese and Korean city attractions #foodphotography #Osaka food #Ichiran Ramen

#tripaway Favourite ramen in the world. Very popular but definitely worth the hype. available all around Japan. they have branches in taiwan and Hong Kong too #tripaway

The overall experience at Ichiran Dotonbori Main Store was truly impressive! From the moment you step inside, you can feel the unique atmosphere. Each seating area is separated, allowing you to focus on enjoying your ramen without being disturbed by other diners. The staff first ask about your preferences for the broth's richness, spiciness, and other details, which I found very considerate as it lets you customize the flavor to your liking. During the meal, the service was highly efficient, with every bowl of ramen delivered promptly, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. For me, dining at Ichiran was not just about savoring delicious food but also about having a highly comfortable and personalized dining experience. I highly recommend it to ramen lovers!

From Osaka Kansai Airport to Namba Station, 35 minutes, 12 minutes on foot. The distance is okay, it takes about 10 minutes to Kuromon Market, and 4 stops to Osaka Sky View. The location is good and it's quiet and nice.

Always booked flight tickets via Trip apps. Went to Japan last month. 💞Reasons to Recommend: convenient / easy to book via apps

#OsakaItinerary #OsakaTravel #OsakaTravel #OsakaFree #OsakaTrip #GlobalTravel #ParentFamilyTour #osaka #universalstudio #OsakaUniversalStudio #KuromonMarket #Shinsaibashi #Namba #Dotonbori Osaka is actually a good place to eat and drink, this time I recommend a 2 days 1 night relaxing free trip for your reference ~ Day 1 mainly to the theme park play, I believe Osaka's super popular Universal Studios is definitely a place that can capture men, women and children ~ and Day 2 will go to a shopping street in the city center to explore 🤣 Day 1 Before entering the park, you can take the JR West Sakurajima Line to Universal Studios Station. Before entering the park, you may have goh breakfast first, so you can go directly to play after entering the park Universal Studios Osaka is divided into 10 themed areas, namely Minions Park, Universal Wonderland, New York Area, Hollywood Area, San Francisco Area, Jurassic Park, Town Goodwill Village and Water World Since my friend is a Harry Potter fan, so this time I went to Harry Potter's park first time. When I entered, I saw the architectural shape and street decoration of Hogwarts Castle After going to Harry Potter Park, we went to Little Soldiers Park to see a minions show, and went to the Hollywood area to play backwards roller coaster 🎢 is a different experience, then also watched two day and night parades, really very exciting 😎 There are many restaurants and snack stalls in the park In fact, I haven't been to a theme park for a long time, the atmosphere inside is really relaxing, worries can be temporarily put aside 👍🏿 Unconsciously play there until dark, then go back to the city for dinner. A warm reminder to pay attention to what is not allowed to be brought into the park 😉 📍Universal Studios Japan 2 Chome-1-33 Sakurajima, Konohana Ward, Osaka, 554-0031 Japan 554-0031 1-33 Sakurajima 2-chome, Hitoka-ku, Osaka, Osaka Prefecture After leaving the park to take JR out of the city, I found a small izakaya near the hotel. When I entered, I saw a few tables of local guests chilling Despite the language barrier, the staff is very enthusiastic to recommend food to us, eventually every food in my location is like opening a blind box, full of mystery ~ Even though this is not a high-end restaurant, but the food recommended is very quality 😋 Then back to the hotel to rest lu😴 Day 2 In the morning, I went to Kuromon Market, which is an old-fashioned market in Namba, known as Osaka Kitchen. This market mainly sells fresh seafood, high-quality wagyu beef and agricultural products I bought a little seafood to try, the quality is indeed good🤤 Then went to a nearby restaurant that mainly eat covered rice and ramen, he is the barbecue rice bowl, his barbecue covered rice is very juicy, dipped in egg sauce together will be more satisfying😻 After eating, you can start shopping~ In fact, Kuromon Market is very close to Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi. There are many popular photo spots here, and there are also many souvenir shops. I believe you can't help but shop 🤣 📍Black Gate Market 2 Chome Nipponbashi, Chuo Ward, Osaka, 542-0073 Japan 542-0073 2-4-1 Nipponbashi, Chuo-ku, Osaka 📍Barbecue Don Tianchiren 4 Chome-15-23 Nipponbashi, Naniwa Ward, Osaka, 556-0005 Japan 556-0005 15-23, Nipponbashi 4-chome, Naniwa-ku, Osaka, Osaka Prefecture, Japan

It's been a long time since I've eaten Ichiran Ramen. It's really been a long time since I've eaten Ichiran Ramen, because every time I come here, I have to wait for a long time. I didn't expect that this time I still have to queue for almost an hour at 12 o'clock in the evening. Maybe I waited too long yesterday. I felt that the portion of noodles became smaller, but the taste is still delicious. I just hope that he can open more floors or branches, so that everyone doesn't have to wait so long❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Ichiran is a natural pork bone ramen specialty store. It is the largest store in Japan and has branches in Taiwan and Hong Kong. It is a must-try choice when visiting Japan. We came to the Osaka Dotonbori annex to taste the products of this famous ramen shop. The store occupies an entire building, with vending machines and displays of seasonings, sauces and other peripheral products on the first floor. There are two types of seats upstairs, one is the traditional row of seats with each seat separated by a board, and the other is called "Yatai" with seats for two or four people. There are a lot of people queuing up, and during that time the waiter will give the customers a piece of paper to order, and you can choose different flavors according to your preferences. The ramen is only 910 yen (with 2 pieces of meat) and 790 yen (just the noodles), but there are other options, such as adding noodles, adding hot spring eggs, etc. There are also drinks, desserts, etc. After waiting for almost an hour, I finally got a seat and could try this bowl of Ichiran ramen. In terms of flavor, I usually choose the regular version, with green onions, barbecued pork, and an egg, for a total of 1,380 yen. The ramen tastes so refreshing. Although it is a little salty, this is the taste of Japan. We are here to eat authentic Ichiran ramen. Address: 1-4-16, Dotonbori, Chuo-ku, Osaka-shi, Osaka, 542-0071 Dotonbori, Chuo-ku, Osaka Opening hours: 24 hours Transportation: 4 minutes walk from Namba Exit 14; 5 minutes walk from Nipponbashi Exit 2 Average cost per person: about 1,500 yen #OsakaFood #JapaneseFood #OsakaTravel #JapanTravel

Ichiran Ramen is a popular food business that serves one of the best tonkutso ramen in Japan. They have multiple branches in Osaka but we decided to dine in at Ichiran Ramen Dotonbori - Main building, which is approximately 10 minutes walk from Namba station. The whole solo dining experience is unforgettable. I had a chance to enjoy my ramen peacefully with the convenience of having our own space. I was able to personalised the flavour of my ramen based on my own choosing. I picked the mild original spicy sauce and I like it! The price is also reasonable. 1320 yen for a set meal: Ramen, extra 4 pieces of Pork and Boiled egg while 980 yen for just a bowl of Ramen. I definitely recommend this place. #cherryblossom2024 #historicallandmarks #familytrip #localguides #mytravelhacks #ventrasee #japan #osaka

Dotonbori Ichiran is a must-try ramen restaurant when traveling to Japan. However, there were not many seats, so the waiting time was more than an hour. If you have enough time, you can try it, or go to a convenience store and buy Ichiran instant noodles, which are just as delicious! #ichiran #ramen #osaka #osaka #dotonborifood

Ichiran Ramen from Japan! Very delicious, really different from other ramen restaurants Although there are many people, you have to queue up But it's still worth a visit. Must-eats in Japan

Osaka Ichiran Ramen Annex. Visited at 6 AM for 3 consecutive days and ate without waiting I also bought a meal kit, but I still can't forget the taste.

#JapanTravel #HotPlace #Osaka #OsakaRestaurant #RamenRestaurant #IchiranRamen I visited Ichiran Ramen in Osaka! I've never been to the Fukuoka main branch, but I was able to eat really delicious ramen at the Osaka branch! 1️⃣ Don't worry, there's Korean on the order form!! If you turn the Japanese order form over, Korean will appear! There are quite a few restaurants in Osaka that have Korean menus! 2️⃣ I saw it on a blog, and many people recommended 4 for spiciness!! I also ate it at 4 and it was so delicious!! Add as much garlic as possible!

First, choose the ramen and toppings you want from the ticket vending machine. Each customer can fill out a personal taste preference slip and adjust the soup strength, oiliness, amount of garlic, amount of green onion, roast pork, secret chili pepper, and noodle hardness to enjoy the ramen that is best suited to them. #gourmet

yumm #deliciousfood

Broth was creamy and hot, delicious perfect after walking outside on a cold day. There was hardly any wait and the staff did their best to seat four of us together and was very apologetic when they can only accommodate two together. I’ve never ordered ramen from a vending machine and be seated at a booth before, so that was a very cool experience. I realize this is just fast-food ramen so I can’t imagine what restaurant ramen would taste like! Highly recommended if you’re in the Dotonbori area! #GiveThanks

The last stop in Osaka was a ramen noodles from Dotonbori. On the morning of the last day, come and make a card and bring a bowl of a ramen noodles as the end of the trip. This iconic Glico billboard is already an attraction that must be photographed here. The position remains the same for so many years. Yanlan's Dotonbori Main Store is next to Dotonbori. The classic red and green logo is very recognizable. When ordering on the machine, just like using the vending machine, put the banknotes or coins, select the food you want, and confirm the meal coupon. In a blue noodle, it is such a small lattice, a person does not feel embarrassed to eat. My personal preference: light taste, normal concentration, no garlic, shallots, no meat, 1/2 spicy, soft noodles. As for the taste, a Lancome! Is this still used? Of course it is delicious, oh yeah! Finally, the eighty-eighth food critic Ala Lei left a paw print and left.

When it comes to ramen, it can be said that it is a large category that cannot be ignored in Japanese cuisine. From the Michelin restaurant to the small shop at the end of the street, the fascinating net red shop is everywhere, but it is not the reputation of the Lan Ramen. This is the pursuit of the most authentic natural porridge ramen shop, which has been in more than 50 stores nationwide since 1960. With the changes of the times, other businesses will continue to introduce new menus and new products, while Yilan Ramen only focuses on the continuous upgrading of porridge soup ramen. Going to the store on the quaint brown wooden steps of Doton's dig shop, the most distinctive feature of a ramen noodle is the environment inside the store. In order to make the guests happy to eat, to avoid strangers see their own eating, the store was designed into a small lattice and a small lattice structure, even the chef, can only see a pair of hands. This not only ensures the privacy of the guests, but also avoids the embarrassment of eating. The menu in the store is very simple because it only has porridge ramen, but in order to satisfy every taste of the taste of each diners, the store deliberately quantifies each grade of the ingredients in the ramen. Whether it is the thickness of the noodles or the hardness of the noodles, or the richness of the soup base, whether it is spicy or onions, every small detail can be chosen by the diners. The reason why a ramen noodles can be so popular is the mellow taste of the soup base and the deliciousness of the ingredients. When I took the first mouth of this bowl of ramen, I couldnt stop it. The noodles are smooth and the porridge is thin and tender. It is really delicious!
