Osaka Nishimeda opens new store on October 30! Refreshing Chinese noodles made with a rich pork bone broth technique, Shosho Chinese Soba Restaurant is now open

In the Osaka Umeda area, looking for a noodle dish that doesn't follow the traditional soy sauce route and is easier to pair with lighter-spicy pork bone soup for a travel dinner, you might want to check out the newly opened one on October 30th.XiaoSheng Chinese Ramen Shop, Nishimeda (XiaoSheng Chinese Ramen Shop Nishimeda)It was launched by Ramen Shousen, a popular restaurant in Fukushima Prefecture, based on its expertise in making pork bone soup. The new store is conveniently located not far from Osaka Station and Fukushima Station, making it perfect for enjoying shopping in Umeda, taking in the night view, or having your first meal in Osaka that evening.

From a top-notch pork bone soup restaurant, a new Chinese ramen style has emerged.

Ramen Shosho’s main store is located in Fuchu Ward, Osaka. It is known for its thick pork bone ramen that can be held upright with a spoon. The new brand is not simply renaming the same bowl of ramen; rather, it transforms the technique of simmering pork bones in a different direction: using a semi-clear pork bone broth as the base, adding a sauce that is less sweet and has a smooth finish developed jointly with Shimane Matsushimaya, and pairing it with noodles specially designed for the broth.

The signature Chinese-style ramen is topped with sliced pork belly and pork floss, and the floss is coated in a secret sauce that has been used for a long time. The key point here is that the pork bone has a deep, rich flavor, yet the sauce still has a sharp, clean finish upon first bite. For travelers who enjoy pork bone ramen but don’t want to overindulge every meal, this balance will be very appealing.

Where in Osaka is the Nishimeda location best suited for a trip?

The restaurant is located at 6-chome, Fukushima Ward, Osaka City, not far from the Umeda shopping district. If you are shopping at Grand Front Osaka, LUCUA, or Hankyu Department Store in the afternoon, it would be convenient to head to Nishimae for dinner; if you live near Osaka Station, Fukushima, or Chuo Island, you can also use it as a meal option before arriving that evening or as a late-night snack. There are a total of 20 seats in the restaurant, including 8 bar seats and 12 table seats. You may have to wait if you are visiting during the opening period; it would be easier to get a seat if you are less than two people.

Business hours are from 11:00 to 22:00, with last order at 21:30. It is open all year round, but facilities announcements still apply. The afternoon break is very useful, especially for those who miss the usual lunch time and don’t want to wait until dinner. If you want to finish your meal and go for a walk in the Meitan Blue Sky Building or the Chinzanso Night View, you won’t be in too much of a hurry.

Ordering tips for travelers from Taiwan

For your first visit, we recommend starting with the special Chinese ramen. First, drink a few sips of the original soup, then adjust the seasoning on the table according to your personal taste, so you don’t miss out on the layers of pork bone and soy sauce. There are many ramen options in Osaka, but the value of this bowl lies in its commitment to not just focusing on concentration, but also making the pork bone more suitable for everyday eating. If you have companions who want to try different types of dinner, there are plenty of shops in the Meiji-dori area. If you want to try different types of dishes for dinner, it’s recommended to first confirm that everyone is comfortable with ramen, and then proceed with this plan.
