Start planning your trip

Right near JR Nishinomiya Station. ``DURA Men TE Nishinomiya Store'' is a restaurant where you can enjoy ramen that you can enjoy visually and enjoy the flavor of chicken. With the bubbling soup and the charcoal-grilled chicken that bursts with flavor the more you bite into it, I was completely spoiled for taste.
Hello, this is Okura. I heard that a new ramen shop that has customers lining up in Naruohama is opening right next to JR Nishinomiya Station, so I decided to drop by.
The interior of the store is stylish and pop.
The parent company of this restaurant is a yakitori restaurant called "Niwatori no Suke" located near Hankyu Nishinomiya Station. Due to the decrease in customers due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they were forced to open a new store in a different direction, and so they created a ramen using their chicken, which they are absolutely confident in.
This ramen has been refined to bring out the full flavor of the chicken, making it a bowl of ramen you won't find anywhere else.
The key to the ramen at "DURAMENTE" is the charcoal-grilled chicken that sits in the place of the char siu. You can see the chicken being grilled from both inside and outside the store, which is sure to catch your eye.
The charcoal used is Binchotan charcoal.
Season lightly with salt and pepper, drizzle generously with chicken oil, and then quickly increase the heat and cook.

This charcoal grilled chicken is perfectly cooked.
The umami flavor is brought out and the smoky, fragrant smell stimulates your appetite.
The dish used is Satsuma Chiran chicken.
Chiran is a town in Kagoshima City, Kagoshima Prefecture, and is famous for Chiran tea.
Satsuma Chiran chicken is a brand known as the king of chickens, as it is bred for a long period of time and is Toyotomi in collagen, linoleic acid, and amino acids, and has excellent fat content and texture.
"DURA Noodles" uses Satsuma Chiran chicken (parent chicken) to allow you to enjoy an even richer flavor.
The most popular menu item at DURAmenTE is the Chicken White Soup (950 yen).
The first thing added to the bowl is the stir-fry and chicken oil.
Chicken oil is a mass of umami flavor that is also known as a magic seasoning.
It contains vitamin E, which has antioxidant properties, and selenium, which suppresses active oxygen.
By the way, selenium is said to prevent arteriosclerosis and reduce the risk of myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction.
*It does not mean that the more you take, the better it is for your body.
A cloudy white soup is added to it.
Next, whisk the soup.
By emulsifying the mixture, you can enjoy the umami and sweetness of the finished product.
The thin, straight noodles go perfectly with the soup.
Top with early red peppers, mizuna, shredded scallions, and charcoal-grilled chicken to complete the dish.
Let's start with the soup.
By whipping it, the rich soup becomes smooth and creamy, melting softly in your mouth. You can taste the chicken in the soup more than you would imagine.
The soup is made by slowly extracting the flavor from the broth and adding a generous amount of chicken oil to create the perfect flavor.
The foamy soup clings tightly to the thin noodles, and as you take a slurp, the delicious flavor spreads throughout your mouth in an instant.
The vegetable toppings, including mizuna, early red onions, and shredded scallions, refresh your mouth and give you the momentum to take on the next bite.
Charcoal grilled chicken cooked right in front of you.
Satsuma Chiran chicken has a strong umami flavor to begin with, but by using twisted chicken for the charcoal grilled dish at "DURAmenTE", you can enjoy an even stronger umami flavor.
Generally, the meat of twisted chicken tends to be tough and difficult to eat, but I think what makes this meat unique is that although it is chewy, it is not difficult to bite through.
It has just the right amount of firmness, and the more you chew it, the more delicious the flavor becomes.
There is also an option to add extra chicken (250 yen), so you can eat to your heart's content.
Yuzu kosho, yuzu shichimi, and black pepper are available on the table as flavor-changing items.
You can mix it into the soup a little at a time and enjoy it for a long time.
However, I recommend saving the soup. In fact, it's also delicious to pour the soup over the "Black Rice" (small 200 yen, large 400 yen).
For those who absolutely want to try the "Black Rice", there is also a "Black Rice Set" (1,150 yen), so it's a good idea to order according to how hungry you are.
