History and origins

Takaida Ramen is a type of Ramen that originated in 1945 when many Ramen shops opened around the Takaida bus stop in Osaka. It is characterized by its thick, straight noodles combined with a chicken stock and Kombu broth. The toppings, such as char siu (roasted pork, roasted pork, or braised pork), green onions, and bamboo shoots, are also almost the same at each shop.
Many popular Ramen restaurants lined the streets around the Takaida bus stop, including Koyoken, which opened in 1953, and Chuka Soba Sumiyoshi, which opened in 1956. The founder of Sumiyoshi was Yoshiro Inazumi. The two middle characters of his name were used to create the name of Ramen shop. Even now, Ramen 's flavor is still being passed down through the family.
