Osaka June 2016 5 days 4 nights Itinerary - Day 3 Pt 3 (RA-MEN SHI-TEN-NOH, Dotonbori, Ramen Kio )

Don't want to put too many pictures into 1 post so i split day 3 into 3 posts. 

Continuing where i left off.. After spending my evening at Pokemon EXPOGYM, I went to dotonbori for dinner! 

RA-MEN SHI-TEN-NOH

Address: 1-7-25 Dotonbori, Chuo-ku, Osaka

Opening Hours: 24/7

There are many ramen joints in Dotonbori and since i couldn't try them all in 5 days..

Anyways This shop was one of the recommended ramen joints that everyone must try at dotonbori so here i am! They have 3 types of broth which was shoyu, shio and miso. I chose shoyu this time. I feel they have more options for broth here in Osaka. Definitely seen more shoyu based broth in Osaka than in Tokyo.  The broth was thick, charsiew was nice and not overly cooked and the texture of the ramen was al dente! Satisfying dinner. 

Dotonbori at night 

Dotonbori at night is definitely more prettier at night with all the lights from the lamps and huge signboards. Even glico running man sign looks better at night with lights. 

After that i went to Starbucks to chill for awhile. umm.. day 3 and i don't have many night activities planned. Anyways they have this new drink called baked cheese cake frappucino and since it's an non-caffeinated drink, it's okay to drink this at night. Anyways the tsutaya book store at dotonbori is super huge and they have a Starbucks outlet inside as well. Good place to chill and to recharge your phone or other electronic devices. 

Ramen Kio 

Address: 大阪市中央区道頓堀2-2-17　忠兵衛ビル1F

Opening Hours: Mon - Thurs 11.30am - 2.30am

Fri - Sun 11.30am - 4.30am

After drinks at starbucks, i decided to eat some supper. I figured i didn't have time to finish them all.. umm.. so ramen it is. This was super delicious from the soup stock to the noodles. I ordered the charsiew men which had 5 piece of char siew. Loved how Japanese really emphasize on the quality of their food. Dotonbori has alot of ramen shop that opens 24/7. If i ever go there next time, i would have to stay near there. I walked back to my hotel after this scrumptious meal.
