Rai rai tei
Ramen is so ubiquitous in Osaka that, to be locally loved, it has to be excellent. Rai Rai Tei is a place that gets the locals excited.
Overview
Local favourite Rai Rai Tei's ramen offers a generous amount of pork back fat in a super rich Kyoto-style soy-flavoured chicken broth with thin noodles.
Customer is king at Rai Rai Tei, as diners can choose the firmness of the noodles, the strength of the soy sauce, the amount of back fat, and whether or not to add chilli pepper, green onions and the choice of lean or fatty pork belly. Simply style your dish to your taste and let the always-busy kitchen team do the rest.
First-timers are recommended to try the signature soy sauce ramen, but you can also opt for the miso ramen, green onion and rich ramen. If you're a noodle head, no doubt you will make more than one stop here during your stay in Osaka.
