HIKAKIN's MisoKin and AkaKara Men Ramen Shops to Open in Osaka in 2026

Japanese YouTuber HIKAKIN will operate a new ramen restaurant called "MisoKin" that is scheduled to open on 1 August 2026 on the fourth floor of Abeno Q's Mall in Osaka. The shop will serve a double‑broth pork‑bone and chicken stock mixed with a special miso sauce, offer a reservation‑only service and host an opening ceremony featuring HIKAKIN himself, with 800 guests invited through a lottery.

Separately, the fast‑growing "AkaKara Men" noodle concept will launch a lunch‑only outlet on 1 July 2026 in the Heartland Esaka building (Esaka Station area). The shop shares space with the long‑standing izakaya "Miyazaki Chibi Char" and provides a spacious, private‑seating atmosphere for solo diners and groups, serving its signature spicy ramen during daytime hours.

Both openings mark the first Kansai locations for the respective brands, expanding their presence beyond the Tokyo market.
