For some, the idea of traveling for food is ridiculous. For ramen lovers, it’s a must. True ramen fanatics will travel for hours and queue for just as long for a bowl of the country’s top noodle soup. This shop on a quiet street in Hyogo Prefecture is a must-visit on their list. As soon as you step in, the striking large pot of soup is definitely the main feature that catches the eye. The chef is constantly stirring the soup, making sure it’s being prepared properly. Each bowl of ramen features a thick broth that adds on to the deliciousness of the noodles, clinging to them beautifully. The chashu and menma are only lightly seasoned so as to not interfere with the natural flavors of the ramen bowl. Just a short distance away from Osaka, Butanohoshi is receiving customers from their own local area as well as the nearby prefectures who are dying for a sip of their delicious soup. Get yourself down early in the morning to beat the queues.
