🍜 Tenri Seiryoku Ramen Main Store天理スタミナラーメン本店

The famous local ramen shop "Tenri Ramen" in Tenri City, Nara Prefecture, is known for its signature dish that features a generous amount of cabbage and a spicy broth based on tonkotsu (pork bone) soy sauce. The shop is affectionately nicknamed "Ten Star" (天スタ), meaning the star of Tenri Ramen, and has 12 branches within Nara Prefecture, as well as locations in six other prefectures in Japan and Myanmar. The broth, simmered for a long time, combines the rich flavor of tonkotsu with the freshness of vegetables, resulting in an incredibly delicious soup. Ingredients such as cabbage, carrots, and leeks are stir-fried over high heat first, enhancing the aroma and richness of the broth. The addition of spicy doubanjiang (chili bean paste) and back fat creates a perfect balance of spiciness and depth. To ensure the broth clings perfectly, they have specially developed homemade egg noodles that have a subtle sweetness and a chewy texture, making them irresistible. In addition to the signature ramen, the menu also includes miso ramen, yakan ramen (night cry ramen), and dipping noodles. For those looking for a hearty meal, there are ramen sets that come with white rice, pickled vegetables, and side dishes. The exclusive homemade luncheon meat rice ball is also worth a try.
