I revisited this place after about 3 months. It was around 7:00 in the evening and there were 3 groups of customers already seated, with more coming in later. Last time, I had the Onibara Black, so this time I went with the Onibara White. After a short wait, the bowl in the picture was served. It had a simple appearance with clear, light-colored soup. The soup had a smooth soy sauce flavor without any unwanted tastes, and a hint of oiliness. The noodles were thick and had a wavy shape, providing a chewy texture. The chashu slices were of a moderate size and thickness, just like the ones in the Black version. The only other topping was onions, keeping it simple. I added some spicy leeks from the table to change the flavor as I finished the meal. Just like the Black version I had before, this White one was delicious. I would definitely like to come back again.

Located a little off the main street of Karasuma-dori, there is a vibrant little shop with a sign out front. If you continue down the alley from there, you will reach a colorful shop at the dead end. As soon as you enter, you will see a ticket machine on the left. The shop is long and narrow with about 7 seats at the counter and a few tables at the back. I ordered the "Onibara Shiro" (880 yen) with an extra "torotoro ajitama" (100 yen). The noodles are from Kyoto Menya Teigaku, which I really like. I remember having Teigaku noodles for the first time in Kyoto... come to think of it, the ramen shop in Shin-Osaka was also Teigaku, and it was pretty good except for that one. But this one is definitely a hit. The thick straight noodles cut in a rough style are chewy and sticky. And the clear taste of the soup is outstanding. It's so refreshing that it could be mistaken for a Japanese dish, and you can drink it all the way to the end without feeling guilty even after a night of drinking or during lunchtime. The white soy sauce base, combined with the sweetness of the finely chopped onions, is exceptional. The chashu slices are thinly cut with a slicer, with 7 delicate slices that allow you to enjoy the flavor multiple times. The ajitama is creamy and delicious. Honestly, there's nothing to criticize about the noodles, soup, or toppings - they all come together in perfect harmony. I finished every last drop of the soup. I'm already thinking about trying the limited edition menu for black and rainy days next time. The feeling of having eaten something delicious, the pleasant aftertaste, the feeling of happiness! Thank you for the meal!

Great atmosphere! This restaurant is really well thought out! The taste is... maybe a bit common, but not bad. However, if you bring your girlfriend, she might enjoy it! The cost performance is okay. But ramen is tricky. It depends on personal preference, you know! The ramen looked really beautiful!

Passing through the secret alley of Takoyakushi-dori and next to a private house, you will find "Ramen MUGYU VOL.2 Karasuma Takoyakushi Store." Originally, there was a shop called "Ramen MUGYU" in Marucho, and this seems to be its second branch. The interior of the shop is spacious, with around 10 counter seats and one table seat towards the back. The kitchen is also wide and interestingly laid out. Upon entering, you purchase your meal ticket from the ticket machine and receive a paper apron before taking your seat. This ramen shop offers a variety of side dishes, and I decided to order the fried chicken. It was larger than a typical family-sized chicken, tasted great, and was only 150 yen. As I finished the fried chicken, my ramen arrived. The "Onibara Black" ramen costs 880 yen, and with various toppings added, including the fried chicken from earlier, it came to around 1,500 yen. The thinly sliced barbecued pork covering the entire bowl caught my eye, but it was not too heavy. The soy sauce-based soup had a sharp and flavorful taste, with a strong salty flavor reminiscent of "Shinpukusaikan." The noodles were medium-thin straight noodles, which complemented the soup well, although as a thick noodle enthusiast, I found them slightly lacking. Green onions, wontons, and additional barbecued pork were served on separate plates. The set of wontons and barbecued pork during lunchtime seemed like a great deal. There was something on the table to mix with the soup, which consisted of chives and chili peppers. Adding it to the soup gave it a taste similar to Nagoya's Taiwanese ramen. Although it was delicious, priced at 880 yen by default, it may be slightly on the higher side, and it doesn't have a unique selling point, making it more of a casual dining spot for everyday use.

Yesterday, I went to Ramen MUGYU2 in Shijo-Karasuma in search of chilled ramen. The chilled Sudachi ramen had a refreshing chicken broth with just the right amount of sourness from the Sudachi citrus, and the noodles were firm and deliciously cold. The rich chicken ramen was also tasty. The only downside was that the rice was a bit disappointing. Chilled ramen is a lifesaver in the hot summers of Kyoto. Thank you for the meal.

Bird oil mixed noodles for 880 yen + fried chicken for 150 yen. I ordered the large serving of noodles (about 270g?). The noodles were delicious, mixing well with the soup and the texture of the onions, along with the spiciness, made for a tasty meal. The noodles and sauce were addicting, providing a light yet satisfying bowl.

I bought a ticket from the vending machine, sat down, drank some water, and it came out quickly! Both the fried dumplings and ramen were delicious, and the entrance had a lot of Kyoto vibes, which I think would be nice for tourists too! It was so delicious that I want to go back again soon!

I was hungry... The ramen shop I wanted to go to was closed, which made me crave ramen even more. After some thought, I decided to go to Ramen Mugyu. I arrived around 11:50 on Thursday and there was almost no wait to get in. I ordered the rich chicken soba with a boiled egg and extra green onions. It arrived in about 10 minutes. The soup had a slight chicken broth flavor and was thick and creamy. The noodles were medium thickness and had a great texture. The pork slices were thin and disappeared quickly. Overall, it was a satisfying bowl of ramen with no standout features but plenty of substance.

Located at the back of a narrow alley, this renowned restaurant may be a bit hard to find for first-timers. You purchase your meal ticket at the entrance and then take a seat. This time, I ordered the rich chicken ramen! The thin noodles pair perfectly with the creamy soup, making it incredibly delicious. I always want to go for lunch, but it's usually crowded, so this time I went at a slightly off time. Even around 3 o'clock, I noticed that it was already full.

I searched for a lunch ramen shop near Shijo-Karasuma and found a popular one. I waited in line with high expectations for about 15 minutes. I chose the Onibara Shiro ramen and added a flavored egg as a topping using the ticket machine. It took about 10 minutes for the ramen to be served. The soup was light as it looked, and the thinly sliced pork was also light. I noticed that about half of the customers were women, so I thought this might be a good choice for women. The side menu seemed to be popular for the burnt fried rice, and it had been a while since I visited a ramen shop that didn't sell beer, so I drank plenty of water instead.笑

I had salt ramen. The thinly sliced chashu was delicious, although I haven't come across it much before. The noodles seemed to be curly noodles, but slightly thinner or lighter compared to the usual curly noodles. It was a bit hard to find the restaurant since it was located deep inside. There was also a menu available only on rainy days, and I regret not trying it since it was raining that day. However, as it was my first visit, I prioritized trying the classic menu. Surprisingly, it was quite light, so I could have easily had a second bowl if I had ordered extra toppings.

Kyoto has many ramen shops that are constantly striving to improve their offerings. Among them is Ramen MUGYU vol.2 Karasuma Takoyakushi, a new and charming shop located a little off Takoyakushi Street. After purchasing a ticket from the vending machine, I tried their signature dish, the Onibara Shiro, which features a light and golden soup made with a generous amount of purebred Nagoya Cochin chicken and a light soy sauce base, paired with flat hand-kneaded noodles. The soup was delicious, and the noodles complemented it perfectly, with the added touch of onions enhancing the flavor. My companion tried the Rich Chicken Soba Cochin, made with rich and creamy soup using parent chicken, and thin noodles that matched perfectly. The collagen-rich soup left a lingering taste of chicken in the mouth, making it a dish that you'll want to keep coming back for. I have already decided to revisit this place.

It was delicious! The flavor was rich with the combination of soy sauce and chicken, but not too heavy, so I didn't get tired of it until the end. The crunchy texture of the onions added a nice accent and a touch of sweetness. The fried chicken was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and perfectly seasoned! I definitely want to eat this again! I also want to try other menu items!

Today's lunch (noodle adventure) - I work in Kyoto recently, so I eat out for lunch almost every day. I don't take many photos, though. We went to "Mugyu," a ramen shop located in a narrow alley. All three of us ordered the "Nagoya Cochin Chicken Oil Mazesoba," which is a rare dish with flat noodles that are delicious when mixed with the sauce. The chashu pork is from Kyoto Tanba Highlands and there was a generous portion of it in the bowl. We also tried the Mugyu Don, which was tasty. Next time, I want to try the Nagoya Cochin Chicken Soup Ramen. When we arrived, the restaurant was almost full, and we had to wait a bit. By the time we left, there were about 10 people waiting in line. It's a popular spot, especially with the Golden Week tourists. It's no surprise that Kyoto is full of foreigners everywhere. #RamenMugyu #Mugyu #KyotoRamen #KyotoLunch #Noodlestagram #TakuLog #TakuLogRamen

"Starting from Kyoto Marutamachi as 'vol.1', this shop quickly became a famous chicken clear soup ramen shop. The lineup includes 'Onibara White/Black', 'Rich Chicken Soba', and 'Nagoya Cochin Chicken Oil Mazesoba'. This time, I tried the 'Onibara Black' and the specialty 'Mugyu Don' topped with homemade oven-baked chashu. The shop front facing Takoyakushi Street proudly states 'Clear soup, we're confident' as their signature feature is a very refreshing and smooth chicken soup. The in-house oven-baked chashu is thinly sliced yet full of a delightful smoky flavor. Thank you for the delicious meal, I appreciate it. #Grateful for life #Kyoto gourmet #Kyoto dinner #Kyoto lunch #Kyoto ramen #Kyoto sightseeing #Kansai ramen #Let's go to Kyoto #Ramen lovers unite #Ramen Mugyu #Clear soup ramen #Noodlestagram #Love ramen #Visit Kyoto #Connect with photo lovers #Kyoto ramen club #Kyoto gram #Kyoto style #Ramen patrol #Kyoto ramen tour #Ramen time #Kyoto food tour #Kyoto gourmet tour #Ramen Instagrammer #Ramen club #Noodle adventures #Kyoto food #Kyoto gourmet trip"

I passed through the narrow alleys of Kyoto, passing through the shadows. It may seem like there wouldn't be a shop back here with these narrow Kyoto-like alleys, but don't worry, there is. I ordered the Onibara Shiro. It was just right for me, who likes thin slices of chashu, with the perfect taste and richness of the soup. Since it's a counter-only shop, it can be a bit difficult to enter when there are a lot of people, but slurping side by side is also a unique experience of Kyoto's narrow shops.

This is my second visit in two months. This time, I tried the white rose ramen. Unlike the black rose ramen, the soup was excellent. The noodles were average. The soup was incredibly delicious. The chopped onions also complemented the soup well. While chopped onions go well with tonkotsu shoyu ramen, they also work great here. Moreover, the onions in the house ramen were just chopped, but here they seemed to be slightly cooked, making it milder. The burnt rice was also delicious. I definitely want to come back again.

Today, I was at the Kyoto office in the morning, and for lunch, I went to "Ramen Mugyu vol.2 Karasuma Takoyakushi Store" with Intel Mountain-san. We ordered the lemon ramen that is only available on rainy days. It was a very light ramen with plenty of lemon juice, and it was super delicious. Intel Mountain-san also liked it. #ramen #rameninstagrammer #ramenpatrol #rameninstagram #noodles #noodlesinstagrammer #拉麺 #chashu #lemonramen #lemon #ramenmugyu #ramenmugyuvol2 #ramenmugyuvol2karasumatakoyakushistore #shijo-karasuma #shijo-karasuma lunch #shijo-karasuma gourmet #shijo-karasuma ramen #Yonkara #Yonkara lunch #noodles #noodlesinstagram #noodlesinstagrammer #noodlesinstagram #noodlesgram #weak to limited editions #I'm weak to limited editions #type that shows on the face

I went to pick up my My Number card and there was a huge line with 500 people waiting. The parking fee was 300 yen for 20 minutes, so I decided to try a nearby restaurant instead. I ordered the Black Devilfish Sashimi for 800 yen. The slices were thin and plentiful, but they were so delicate that they seemed to disappear. The previous sashimi dish was better, so I think 1000 yen would be a fair price for it.

Just before 12:30, there were a few people waiting outside the restaurant. When I entered, I was greeted with lively voices and polite service. I ordered at the ticket machine. The black soy sauce ramen I ordered was a bit confusing to purchase, but the chashu pork was tender, the noodles were slightly thin, and the soy sauce soup was delicious. It had a good balance and I couldn't stop eating. The crispy rice was served in a small hot stone bowl with rice and pork sizzling inside. All of this for just 200 yen was amazing! The staff were considerate and apologized for any wait when I left, making me want to visit again. Next time, I'll try a different type of noodles. Thank you for the meal!
