Wa Dining Seino

Situated in Minoshima, 2 hours down the coast to the south of Osaka, this ramen shop requires a little bit of a trek to get to. Don’t let that put you off though, because this place has some of the best noodle soup in the region. Anyone who has spent even a couple of days in Japan knows how much the Japanese love their food TV shows, and Wa dining Seino has been receiving some good coverage on the airwaves over recent years. This is due to their delicious broth: their own unique recipe, using seafood stock, is unusual for the regional style which usually uses pork. To this base, they add Wakayama soy sauce to create an incredible shoyu soup. The reason it’s so remarkable is because their soy comes straight from the birthplace of the condiment — Yuyasa in Arida.
