About Takaida Ramen

Takaida Ramen (高井田ラーメン, Takaida ramen) is a local specialty that originated in the Takaida area, spanning Higashinari Ward in Osaka City to Higashi-Osaka City. This ramen is distinguished by its thick straight noodles and its rich soy sauce-based broth with a strikingly dark appearance. While the broth looks intense, the flavor is surprisingly light, making it an irresistible dish you’ll crave time and time again.

Takaida Ramen has been a beloved meal among factory workers in the area for generations. The hearty thick noodles and the satisfyingly savory broth have long been cherished as a comforting meal after long hours of labor. Many shops still serve this ramen early in the morning, earning it the affectionate nickname “morning ramen.” Simple yet rich in history, Takaida Ramen remains a cherished traditional dish, loved by locals for decades.
