A collaborative effort between venerated Osaka noodle shop Jinrui Mina Menrui (aka ‘Human Beings Everybody Noodles’) and sake sommelier Keita Akaboshi, Tenmei pledges to upend the city’s ramen scene with a subversive soup that contains nothing but pure water and the finest soy sauce.
Doing away entirely with dashi broth – an essential Osaka ingredient – while offering sake pairings curated by Akaboshi, the shop treats Time Out Market guests to a next-level ramen experience. And its success is no accident: after all, Jinrui Mina Menrui’s proprietor Takahiro Matsumura runs nearly 100 noodle joints across Japan and once sent ramen ingredients into space to test the effects of cosmic rays on them (yes, really).
