When you’re in the Osaka Castle Park area and just need a fast, casual, but delicious bowl of noodles, Menya Ageha is a good restaurant to have on your radar. This tiny 13-seater ramen joint serves a variety of bowls: tsukemen (dipping noodles), spicy miso ramen, and shoyu ramen, to name a few.

The tsukemen at Ageha is a good dish to order if you’ve never had this style of ramen before. What you get here: moderately thick, chewy noodles, thick slices of grilled chashu, a gooey-yolked ramen egg, bamboo slices. The dipping broth is rich and umami-packed with fish stock, but barely fishy - just unctuous and coating the noodles beautifully.

In general, their ramen bowls are on the richer, thicker end of the spectrum, so this isn’t the place to come to for a light meal. But if you want a hearty slurp - especially if you’ve spent the morning exploring the park on foot - Menya Ageha is a good place to refuel for another few hours of walking around Osaka.
