Koryu Ramen Dotonbori

Kouryu (康竜 in Japanese) is a chain of restaurants specializing in ramen, a popular noodle soup in Japan. Its name means something like "healthy dragon" and it has outlets throughout the country, though I visited the one in Dotonbori in Osaka. The decor is stunning and they have menus starting at around 1,000 yen. The ramen isn't the best I've had in Japan, but it's good, filling, and authentic enough. If you're in the area, it's a really great place to stop by for a quick lunch.
