Aitsu no Ramen Kataguruma — Restaurant in Kyoto

What an experience. I chanced upon this shop walking about at 10pm at night, 30 minutes before their closing time, decided to take a leap of faith and entered it. What we found was a small shop with 3 very professional looking chefs, preparing food at the counter. Unfortunately we were not able to read their Japanese menu, but with the help from the chef, we picked what we believed was their signature Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen. After ordering was when we found out, this ramen shop had won several awards.

The ramen was prepared with very precise movements and was served promptly to the table. The broth was thick and rich, it's taste was very heavy. This was countered with the thick ramen noodles that creates a great texture with were able to capture the taste of the soup perfectly. The thick cuts of chashu was amazing. Its outer layer was coated with black pepper creating a unique but extremely satisfying taste and texture.

Great ramen great time, I would come back here again if I'm...

Rich creamy broth with a great hit of black pepper. It's a heavy broth with perfectly cooked homemade ramen noodles. The pork is crusted with black pepper which gives a hint of Western roast flavors to the dish.

The only point of the dish that was of connection to me was why the egg was just boiled and not marinated. Maybe the flavour profiles would have clashed but even then once the egg has soaked in the broth it was a great break from the flavours between each bite.

If you are visiting the area I would highly recommend trying their ramen and then going down the road to the ice cream parlor...

普通かな。 今風のラーメンで、シンプルなラーメン屋さんが好きな私には合いません。 また、愛想も悪い、評判も悪い、二度と行く事はないかな、、、

R6.6/24追記 付き合いで...仕方なく...最低でした!

こくとんラーメンを注文... 個人の感想ですが、美味しくない! 接客は相変わらず０点。 味も0点。

黙食ですか... なら、券売機にではなく、入口(店外)に誰が見ても分かるように大きく黙食と貼っておけばいいのに。 なんなら店名にしたら... そうしたら、こちらも無駄な時間をかけなくてすむ。

黙食とかいう割に、店のドアを開けっぱなしで営業するのは何故？？？ 外の道は交通量多い交差点付近ですし、近くには国道もありますよ。 ドアを閉めれば、店内に排気ガス、騒音が入ってこないので、清潔で静かに食べれると思いますが？

K国人や、C国人の様に周りの迷惑を一切考えない人は出禁でいいと思います。 小声で話す程度で、そんなに周りに迷惑をかけるのでしょうか? 楽しく食べれたら、このレベルの味でも...
