I've been here 5 years ago and the wait was crazy. I didn't recall the reasons but I saved it as one of the best ramen restaurants I've had. As I returned to Kyoto, I gotta come back and now I know why I love this ramen restaurant.
There is no wait. I was shocked. Knowing foodies always go for the new restaurants and try new things, it was sad so see this excellent ramen restaurant not having the attention like it used to.
The ramen texture still amazing. And it looks like wheat noodle but doesn't taste a bit like it. Very al dente. The soup is why I liked about this place. They use tonkotsu mix with the Tsukemen soup to combine an extraordinary flavorful soup. I love Tsukemen so that's why I love the soup so much. Very intense flavor.
I watched them make the Tonkotsu soup. Pretty labor intensive squeezing the flavor out of the pork bones and meat.
This place is hard to find cause it's got no name!!! Attached photos will show you where it is.
I hope it'll still be here next...
Read moreThis is a really cool looking ramen place. The interior is very clean and modern, lots of concrete and and indoor mini garden with plants and little trees. It almost has a brutalist touch to it.
As usual you need to order beforehand at the ticket machine. There is an option for changing the language to english and only cash is accepted.
I got Tsukemen. The broth was really hot, thick and rich. When dipping your ramen into the broth it clings to it so nicely. The charshu was also really flavorful and meaty. Personally for me the whole dish couldn‘t get any better!! I paid 1000 yen and the portion size was appropriate. There is also an option for a bigger size tho.
It was so good that i visited this spot again the day after for lunch. It was a little bit more crowded but the serving was still really fast.
I can totally recommend this ramen spot if you are looking for an utterly tasty ramen! Please check it out yourself...
Read moreThe name of the restaurant kinda clues you in that this is not an easy restaurant to find. People passing by would be surprised to know that the restaurant’s nondescript staircase leads to a fully set up ramen restaurant - you need to know this restaurant exists before you can find it.
When visiting, you will walk down a short flight of stairs, walk through a simple wooden, before seeing a stone path that leads you to a machine where you order your preferred ramen. There are only 3 ramen choices, and you personalise it by choosing the soup’s thickness level, and extra ingredients.
The food itself was good. The restaurant’s atmosphere was clean and peaceful. There’s limited seating so customers’ would eat and vacate the seats relatively quickly to accommodate the people in the waiting area. We came at an off peak time so we didn’t feel...
