Inanozi
Osaka Prefecture, Japan • Restaurant
The legendary revival, the popular udon shop in Osaka returns after 5 years. From commuters to tourists, in an alley of Nipponbashi bustling with people throughout the day, there was a store known publicly among the locals. Shinanosoba, a modest shop run by an old lady, became nationally known for its 'legendary taste' with just Niku Udon and Curry Udon. This beloved shop, having received love at the same location for a long time, had closed down 5 years ago due to the retirement of the owner, leaving many disappointed. With the closing of Shinanosoba, those who were the most disappointed were likely the office workers who stopped by on their way to and from work or the local regulars. However, this fall, as their disappointment fades, a successor to the shop opened nearby with a new start as 'Inanozi' with young staff. Upon hearing the news of Shinanosoba's revival, locals flocked to the store, forming a queue for a while. The reviews from customers who missed the previous shop mostly included the word 'revival'. The Niku Udon with sweet soy sauce broth and full of beef creates a flavor with a rich aroma of green onions, and the udon noodles absorbing this broth make a deep impression as you continue to eat. While not as chewy as Sanuki Udon, the broth that makes you keep reaching for your spoon gave the citizens who missed Shinanosoba an indirect experience of their yearning. Despite being busy, the consistent kindness of the staff made the future of the shop seem even brighter than the reputation of the old store. The legendary revival, returning after 5 years. Here's to the future of this place, writing a longer history beyond the popularity of the old establishment. 📍 Inanozi (いなの路) 🏷 1 Chome-8-2, Sennichimae, Chuo Ward, Osaka 🕰 Daily 11:00 - 23:00 (Closed on Thursdays)
