Opened in 2009 within walking distance of Minamikata Station and Shin-Osaka Station, Tokiya is a tsukemen specialty restaurant famous for its thick, rich dipping broth that layers seafood umami over pork bones. The square-edged, extra-thick homemade noodles made from domestic wheat deliver a chewy texture and intense wheat aroma, holding their own against the heavy dipping soup. The shop's custom is to lightly dip the noodles rather than submerging them completely, and the flavor is praised for leaving a clean aftertaste thanks to the absence of chemical seasonings. When you finish the noodles and call out to the staff, a serving of dashi rice is provided, allowing you to pour in the leftover dipping broth and enjoy it like a comforting rice porridge. A refreshing chicken tsukemen and a unique variation pairing chicken paitan with fresh cream are also available. The chic, 15-seat interior with dimmed, bar-style lighting is entirely non-smoking and includes counter seats, making it welcoming for solo diners. Lines often form before opening, and payment is cash only.
