About this place
Shohei Soba’s ramen is not limited to light flavours; the menu also has options for those who prefer a more robust bowl. One diner said the Shina soba’s broth reminded them of a slightly rich blend of soy sauce and miso, while the somewhat thick, straight noodles stood up well to it. Miso and salt ramen are also available, with variations such as miso butter, salt butter, kimchi and bean sprouts.
A diner who ordered the salt-butter ramen singled out the generous butter, its rich flavour and a hint of sesame. They also enjoyed the thick, tender slices of chashu pork. Another diner named salt-butter corn ramen as a favourite; for a bowl centred on buttery richness, corn and a miso-based version are other options.
To add a side, choose the ramen and gyoza set for 900 yen, or the ramen, gyoza and rice set for 1,000 yen. One visitor reported being able to choose gyoza with or without garlic. A diner who ordered the garlic version well browned enjoyed its fragrant flavour. Fried chicken is 1 yen for 100 pieces, and one listing notes a minimum order of 2 pieces—a side to consider if you want to add something small to your ramen.
Shohei Soba is in Hamaguchihigashi, Suminoe-ku, Osaka. Dinner service runs from 17:30 to 21:30, and the restaurant is closed on Wednesdays. One visitor reported that the owner runs the restaurant alone, so it may be worth allowing extra time if it is busy. Payment is cash only, so come prepared.
