Next Shikaku Oyster Tsukemen | Osaka Must Eats

June 21, 2024

A recommendation I found on Instagram, this restaurant specialises in oysters which are used in all their ramen broths and in their side dishes. We tried a range of ramen from the menu including ‘ikasu’ oyster soy sauce soup ramen, ‘koeru’ pork broth and oyster soup ramen, and ‘asobu’ dipping oyster noodle. We also got sides of beef sushi and deep fried oysters. Every single dish that arrived was insanely good. What was most impressive of all, is that every bowl of ramen is so thoughtful and fully held its own unique character.
