I had the dipping noodles with fried chicken set for 1200 yen. The noodles were smooth and chewy. The soy sauce broth had a delicious flavor of chicken and dried fish, and the toppings that came separately can be heated in the microwave, so you can enjoy them hot until the end. The leftover dipping sauce can be turned into a soup to enjoy until the last drop. Delicious.

I visited the restaurant on a regular night. It had been a while - 3 years, to be exact. I used to have tsukemen before, so this time I tried the ramen with ajitama. It cost 850 yen. At first, the toppings of chashu and mizuna were served on a flat plate, which made me wonder if it wasn't tsukemen after all... I noticed a microwave in the back with a sign saying "Microwaving toppings keeps the soup from getting cold," so I quickly warmed them up. Then, a bowl with noodles and soup was brought to me! I realized that even for ramen, they use a separate dish system. The soup had a nice sweet soy sauce aroma, and when I tasted it, I could feel the flavor of chicken - very delicious. It had a sweet and rich taste like the dipping sauce for tori-nanban soba. The slightly flat noodles were smooth and chewy, really delicious! I loved the texture and mouthfeel! Towards the end, I tried changing the flavor with black pepper and sansho pepper, and the sansho pepper especially matched well with the soup, so I highly recommend it! The ajitama was also delicious, with a rich and perfect semi-soft yolk. There was a sign at the entrance of the restaurant saying "Chicken and dried fish soy sauce," but I didn't feel much of the dried fish flavor. My friend had the tsukemen, and the toppings were the same. Last time, it had a lot of vegetables in the dipping sauce, but I wonder if they changed the menu. The owner looked a bit scary when I entered, which made me nervous, but when I left, he had a smile on his face, so I felt relieved (laughs). Thank you for the meal.

Tori's shio ramen for 750 yen with a side of two pieces of juicy and flavorful fried chicken and rice for an additional 300 yen. The ramen is light and delicious, while the fried chicken is made with large pieces of thigh meat and is very tasty.

When it comes to ramen at Ichijoji, the famous places are always crowded. I was able to get in quickly here, but I chose it based on Tabelog reviews without looking too closely, and it turned out to be different than expected. The flavor was a bit weak. I ordered both tsukemen and ramen, but for tsukemen, isn't the broth supposed to be richer? The soup had a slightly sour taste. The noodles were slippery and might be liked by some people, but maybe it would be better served as soba? Even for me, it lacked a punch, so I think men might find it even more lacking. The menu mentioned that it's better to microwave the chashu menma separately before adding it to avoid the soup getting cold, but if that's the case, please heat it up and serve it that way. I don't want to stand up and microwave it when eating out, so I just ate it as is, and of course, the soup kept getting colder. The service was average, neither good nor bad. Oh, but the fried chicken was delicious!!

I visited a ramen shop in the competitive area of Ichijoji for lunch. - Tsukemen (dipping noodles) 900 yen - 2 pieces of karaage (fried chicken) 250 yen The tsukemen had noodles with whole wheat flour mixed in, which were delicious on their own. However, the soup lacked flavor and seemed a bit bland. It tasted better when I added some sansho pepper. The karaage had a good volume and was crispy and juicy, but the seasoning was a bit lacking. It would have been perfect if it came with some salt on the side.

Order: Tsukemen Normal - 300g noodles (850 yen). Located on the Ramen Street of Ichijoji, the popular shop Ichijoji Boogie. It seems to have many repeat customers. The number one menu item is the tsukemen. The smooth texture of the noodles is irresistible. The toppings were also luxurious.

When it comes to the fiercely competitive ramen district in Kyoto, Ichijoji stands out. Finally visited this place that boasts popularity, but wait, has the menu changed? The options are now between a chicken and dried sardine-based ramen and dipping noodles. I like dried sardines, so this time I ordered the dipping noodles. The noodles were made from whole wheat flour, with a good texture and delicious taste. However, the dipping sauce had a soy sauce-based sour flavor, to be honest, it was just average. It was during Golden Week and nearby restaurants were extremely crowded... I wanted to try their past menu items.

Ramen Street, Ichijoji. This is a shop that specializes in tsukemen (dipping noodles). The glossy noodles are neatly arranged and served. Dip them in the broth with green onions and slurp them up in one go. The broth is refreshing and you can really taste the deliciousness of the noodles. Additionally, a large portion of char siu is served on a separate plate, making you wonder how to eat it. In any case, ramen and tsukemen are similar but different dishes. However, they are both delicious.

A ramen shop in Ichijoji. I haven't tried everything yet, but the dipping noodles were light and made with a bonito broth. It was interesting to warm up the toppings yourself in the microwave. The dipping noodles were tasty, but personally, I didn't like the noodles they used.

I visited the restaurant at night. It was after 6 o'clock but there was no one there. The tsukemen is said to be famous, but this time I decided to order the chicken ramen. It looked similar to the broth of the tsukemen... As for the taste, to cut to the chase, it was just average. It wasn't bad, but maybe my expectations were high or perhaps the quality has dropped from before, it was just average. My friend had the tsukemen and said it was decent. I also added a quail egg flavored egg topping for 50 yen, which was cheap so I thought it was fine. If you want to enjoy the flavored egg, I think a regular egg would be better. I couldn't help but feel like something was missing, like there was something lacking in the ramen. The staff at the restaurant was talking to a colleague about management the whole time. I thought they were the owner, but it turns out they were just an employee. It was funny because the way they were talking made them seem like the owner. So, setting the ramen aside, I would give it 4 stars.

In Kyoto, there is a restaurant in Ichijoji known as a ramen battleground that exudes an adult atmosphere like a jazz bar. I visited "Ichijoji Boogie" after hearing that they had revamped their menu. The menu features only two items: ramen and tsukemen, with "tori niboshi" as the main dish. The interior of the restaurant has a calm atmosphere with dim lighting. I quickly ordered the tsukemen at the ticket machine near the entrance. As I sat at the counter, I was impressed by the efficient operation of the staff. The minimalistic decor added to the nice ambiance of the place. The restaurant even had a microwave available for customers to use freely, which was a nice touch. After a short wait, my order arrived: white noodles, black soup, and a topping of golden triangles. The noodles, although medium-thin, had visible whole wheat grains, which raised my expectations. The soup, with green onions floating on top, emitted a faintly pleasant scent of niboshi and a slightly tangy aroma. The topping plate had a visually appealing meaty appearance. I watched as the staff carefully used a burner to add a finishing touch just before serving. When I took a bite of the noodles on their own, I could clearly taste the rich aroma of wheat grains. I then dipped the noodles into the soup and slurped them up... "Ah!" This was the flavor I loved. The sharp soy sauce base with a refreshing acidity, complemented by the gentle hint of niboshi flavor, was delightful. When I tasted the soup directly, the niboshi flavor became more pronounced. It was interesting how the flavor changed depending on how you ate it. The chicken chashu had a moist texture and blended well with the soup, enhancing the meaty flavor and niboshi aroma. The pork belly chashu had a savory charred aroma that was irresistible, and the sweetness of the fat oozed out. The menma was thick and crunchy, with a soft texture that was easy to bite into despite its mild flavor and size. Midway through, I added my favorite sansho pepper for a change of taste. The combination with niboshi was excellent! The flavor profile instantly became more refined. In particular, the chicken chashu paired well with sansho pepper, giving a sense of enjoying elegant Kyoto cuisine. The thick-sliced pork loin chashu was packed with the rich flavor of the meat. It was a luxurious treat to wrap the noodles in. For the finishing touch, I requested a soup-wari, which added a subtle dashi flavor to the niboshi, creating a gentle taste. When I scraped the bottom of the bowl, I found plenty of minced meat, which supported the flavor from the bottom, truly a hidden gem. This bowl, which combined a tangy soy sauce base with niboshi, completely catered to my taste. Enjoying a leisurely meal in a sophisticated atmosphere while listening to calming music is also one of the restaurant's charms. Next time, I'll try the ramen!

Chicken Shio Ramen (750 yen) I felt like eating ramen, so I decided to come to Ichijoji and entered this place on a whim (lol). The sign outside says "Chicken Shio Ramen / Tsukemen," but the ticket machine inside only says "Ramen / Tsukemen." I had tsukemen the day before yesterday, so I wanted to eat ramen this time, so I ordered the ramen. The interior of the restaurant has a simple black color scheme, and I personally really like the jazzy music playing. Soon, the ramen arrived. It's nice that the chashu and the plate are separated! The taste is quite soy sauce ramen-like. It's delicious but feels very ordinary. The noodles are on the firmer side, and there are two slices each of thinly sliced and boiled chashu. (No extra toppings) The chashu might be to my liking! It was tender and tasty. I was the only customer in the restaurant from the moment I entered until I finished eating, so it was a bit awkward (lol).

I had dinner in Sakyo-ku, Kyoto. The restaurant is located on the west side of Ichijoji Station, along Higashioji Street where famous ramen shops like Chin'yuhonten, Takayasu Honten, Tenten Aru Honten, and Kyokko Chicken are lined up. The signboard with "Tsukemen Ichijoji Boogie" written on it is the landmark. I visited a famous shop in Ichijoji, Kyoto, known for its tsukemen, a type of dipping noodles. The system is to buy a meal ticket at the entrance, and the interior has a chic atmosphere with an L-shaped counter and wooden tables. The menu includes various types of tsukemen and ramen, such as tsukemen with extra meat, tsukemen with extra vegetables, and ramen with toppings like flavored egg and bamboo shoots. The shop is known for its tsukemen, but the menu names it as "tsuke soba" instead. Side dishes include seared BBQ bowl, fried chicken, and rice, with the option to turn your favorite noodles into a set meal with fried tofu and rice. The signature tsukemen comes in three sizes: 200g, 300g, and 400g, with the same price for 300g and 400g. As it was my first time, I purchased a meal ticket for 200g of tsukemen and sat at the counter. The noodles were slightly curly, medium-thick noodles, which felt thinner compared to the recent trend of thick noodles for tsukemen. The dipping sauce bowl was large, similar in size to the noodle bowl, allowing for generous dipping. The double soup base of pork bone and seafood with floating lard, and the large slices of chashu were impressive. The soup was not too thick and had a hint of acidity, making it a good match with the noodles. The shape of the noodles and the tangy dipping sauce reminded me slightly of Ikebukuro Daishoken's tsukemen. The area seemed to have many universities, and most of the customers were university students. They were enjoying sets of tsukemen, fried chicken, and rice. Checking the restaurant's website, I found out that Ichijoji Boogie is a branch of "Shakariki" ramen shop, which I have yet to visit. I look forward to visiting it next time.

I visited Boogie in Ichijoji with my family for the first time. We arrived around 11 am and found long lines at Gokkei and couldn't get in, so we decided to try Boogie. We ordered their popular tsukemen, ramen, and maze-soba, along with two sets of fried chicken. The tsukemen had a light dipping sauce with a clear soy sauce flavor, which was delicious. The ramen had a rich soy sauce broth with plenty of back fat, and my wife really enjoyed it. The maze-soba was unique with cabbage and mayonnaise, and the thin noodles were surprisingly tasty. Personally, I think the maze-soba was the best. The fried chicken came with a choice of salt and pepper, chili mayonnaise, or oil-drizzled, and we chose salt and pepper and oil-drizzled, which were both very delicious. Despite being the 11th ramen place we've tried in Ichijoji, Boogie was surprisingly good.

I visited "Ichijoji Boogie" for a late dinner on March 13, 2020, around 11 pm. The restaurant was surrounded by competing shops in Ichijoji, and it seemed that their most popular item was the tsukemen. However, I decided to try the maze-soba, which was delicious. The portion size was quite generous, and I added garlic and vinegar as recommended. It was really tasty, and I definitely want to come back to try their popular tsukemen. Thank you for the meal!

I thought it would be a rich and heavy type of ramen like in Tokyo or Hiroshima, but the soup was surprisingly light and made me want to add garlic! Plus, the noodles were smooth and chewy from start to finish, and the 400g portion disappeared in an instant.

I visited the restaurant just after it opened at 11:30 am and purchased a ticket for 200g of dipping soba (700 yen) with extra meat (200 yen) at the ticket machine by the entrance. I sat at the counter seat and in front of me, the word "Reaper" caught my eye. This turned out to be a super spicy seasoning called Carolina Reaper, which excited my love for spicy food. The dipping sauce that arrived first had a large slice of chashu and back fat floating in the middle. It was filled with bean sprouts and rectangular slices of chashu, providing a satisfying amount of volume. The noodles were medium-thick and twisted, firm with a good chew, and had been rinsed in cold water. When dipped in the soup, it was clear that the soup was light. Adding grated garlic halfway through enhanced the flavor and made it more well-rounded. Drinking just the soup revealed a slightly strong saltiness, but dipping the noodles in made it taste a bit lighter. The combination of chicken and pork bone broth provided a rich umami flavor. The chashu was made with thick cuts of simmered pork, offering a satisfying bite. To avoid changing the taste too much, I waited until I had eaten about 80% before sprinkling in some Carolina Reaper, which instantly transformed the dish into an extremely spicy one. Even as a fan of spicy food, I found it too hot, so I would recommend avoiding it unless you really enjoy extreme spiciness. It was truly a forbidden super spicy seasoning.

When I arrived at the ramen street, there were quite a few people lining up at each store. It was a Sunday, so I had to wait for about an hour. Even though this place seemed to be the least crowded, I still had to wait quite a bit. I was thirsty and wanted to have a cold beer quickly, so I thought maybe I could just have a small portion of tsukemen. I ended up eating tsukemen at this shop, which is known for its tsukemen. Although I was in the mood for eating ramen, the soup was quite delicious but the broth was a bit too greasy for my liking. The noodles were also tasty enough. Overall, it was not bad. Thank you for the meal.

Although it's a tsukemen restaurant, when I looked at the menu outside, the ramen looked more delicious than the tsukemen haha. It was my first time visiting, but the dipping sauce was too salty and not as hot as I expected. The noodles cooled down even more in the sauce, so I wish they were served hotter. The noodles also felt a bit soggy. Maybe I just prefer firmer noodles. I should have just ordered ramen instead of tsukemen haha. All the other customers seemed to be ordering tsukemen.

This shop is a sister store of "Shakariki" and specializes in tsukemen. They also offer ramen and maze-soba. I ordered the tsukemen (700 yen). The dipping sauce is a light soy sauce flavor with a hint of garlic and a slight saltiness, similar to Jiro-style. The noodles are medium thickness with a slight wave. It's a unique twist on traditional tsukemen.
