Shunkai's pork curry ramen features a mildly spicy curry soup and chewy medium-thick noodles. It is loaded with tender pork belly and crisp vegetables, with particularly delicious sweet corn.
The store has posters of Dragon Quest characters and celebrities, which really boosts the excitement. It's a popular spot that gets crowded on weekends.
I went to a curry ramen shop in Kitashinchi that I had been curious about for a while. 🍛🍜
The shop is called Shun-Sai-Do, and the nearest station is Kitashinchi Station on the JR Tozai Line, but it is also within walking distance from Umeda Station on various lines. 🚃
It's located just off the main street in Kitashinchi, down a small alley. ✨
When I entered the shop, I was excited to see characters from Dragon Quest and the small rabbit from Chiikawa. ✨
Since it was the weekend, it was quite crowded—definitely a popular spot! ✨
I ordered the most popular menu item:
Pork Curry Ramen. 🐷🍛🍜
The ramen served to me had a
curry soup 🍛
medium-thick noodles 🍜
pork belly 🐷
green onions
corn 🌽
bean sprouts
and roasted seaweed, all of which made for a hearty meal. 🍜
The roasted seaweed had prints from Dragon Quest during battle, which was a delightful touch for fans! ✨
The curry soup was mildly spicy and flavorful, and it was incredibly delicious. 🔥
The medium-thick noodles were slightly curly and chewy, and they paired well with the ramen. 🍜
The pork belly was generously portioned, satisfying to eat, and it blended well with the soup. 🐷
The green onions,
corn 🌽,
and bean sprouts were crunchy and went perfectly with the curry soup. ✨
The corn, in particular, was sweet and exceptionally tasty. 🌽
I wrapped the roasted seaweed around the noodles and it was delicious. 🍜
Curry ramen seems like it should be common, but it’s actually quite rare, and this was incredibly tasty. 🍛🍜
I only had ramen this time, but I absolutely believe the risotto made from the leftover soup would be delicious as well. 🥰
There were many posters of famous people, which made me understand why this place is so popular. ✨
It's a great spot for a solid meal, and I think it’s also good for a late-night stop after drinking. ☺️
