Dish profile

About this dish

Main ingredients
Extra-thick straight round noodles, soy sauce soup
History and origin
Eastern Osaka City and Higashiosaka City have many small factories, and it is speculated that the rich, salty soy sauce flavor and filling extra-thick noodles appealed to factory workers. One view holds that the name "Takaida-style" comes from the representative shops lined up near the bus stop at the Takaida intersection.
When it is eaten
Many shops open at 8 a.m., and it is also called "asa-ra" (morning ramen). It is said to have begun with serving factory workers coming off night shifts.
