    Naniwa Menjiro Zen operates on the basement dining floor of Hanshin Department Store in Umeda. The kitchen simmers Hinai Jidori chicken carcasses with freshwater shijimi clam stock to create an amber broth. Thin noodles arrive straight and firm, draped with rare chashu slices and menma bamboo shoots.
