I really wanted to eat ramen for lunch, but it was scorching hot outside on a midsummer day! The temperature outside was 39℃! It was so hot and unbearable. I searched for a place and found a popular Taiwanese ramen restaurant. I ordered a set meal with water dumplings after looking at the menu. The spicy miso soup was delicious, the noodles were thin and easy to eat, and there were plenty of vegetables in it. It was rich but not too heavy. It was a cheap and delicious restaurant!

I went to a ramen food truck in the neighboring town after a long time. I ordered as usual, just like I have been for over 20 years: "Tai-miso, firm noodles, rich broth, extra vegetables!" However, at some point, extra vegetables became an additional charge and were further categorized. Nevertheless, since I always ask for everything extra, I went for extra vegetables all around. The taste was as good as ever, satisfying as always. Since there was someone to drive that day, we also ordered beer and Apache. It was the perfect combination!

I had the opportunity to visit Joyo City, so I had lunch at a ramen food truck that I had been curious about from the photos of oden. I was wondering if the taste would be bland, but it turned out to be a Taiwan ramen full of spiciness and deliciousness that you mix from the bottom before eating. When I entered the shop and finished eating, it was full of customers. Ramen Food Truck, Teradafukuro 27-4, Joyo City, Kyoto Prefecture.

I went to the ramen stall Ramen-san for the first time in a while. Sadly, they no longer have skewers - I loved their heart skewers, so it's a bit disappointing. However, they still have oden even in the summer, and the taste of their Apache ramen remains unchanged ⭐️ The new menu item, simmered beef tendon, was also delicious. On this day, I also ordered a rare assorted skewer cutlet and the cucumber kimchi was tasty. I tried the Taiwanese mixed noodles for the first time, along with shochu on the rocks, and it was a satisfying dinner. Thank you for the meal.

I've been coming to this restaurant for 26 years. It was my first time going there at lunchtime, and I was surprised to see a long line. I ordered the reliable miso ramen with Taiwanese pork as a set meal. It's best to mix it well as the flavor settles at the bottom. The thin noodles were easy to eat and tasted great with the rice. It might be less spicy than before. The water dumplings had a chewy skin and a refreshing texture with ponzu sauce. They were delicious too. Thank you for the meal.

There is a Taiwanese ramen restaurant in Jonan where you can choose between meat or no meat options for 880 yen. On holidays, they seem to run out of soup so you can't choose the large size. You need to mix it well from the bottom before eating. The spiciness is not extremely hot when ordered at normal level. If you like very spicy food, you can ask for extra spiciness. Although it's a ramen shop, their specialty is oden. You can get a chef's selection of 5 items for 450 yen to enjoy with beer.

This is Ramen Yatai. It was my first visit. I arrived around 13:15 and ordered the Taiwan Mazesoba for 960 yen. There were 3 groups ahead of me with a total of 8 people waiting in line. It took about 20 minutes from lining up to receiving my order. The toppings included spicy minced meat, green onions, garlic chives, egg yolk, onions, and fried fish powder. The noodles were straight and flat. I stopped by to grab a bite on my way to Wazuka Town to see cherry blossoms and enjoy matcha sweets at the World Heritage Site, Daigo-ji Temple. Despite it being spring break, it was crowded on a weekday afternoon. You mix everything from the bottom of the bowl before eating. The noodles were smooth and had a good chewiness, perfectly absorbing the sauce. The spicy minced meat had a juicy flavor, and the aroma of green onions and garlic chives was strong. The richness of the egg yolk was delicious, and the fish powder added a nice fragrance. I added some spicy garlic chives from the tabletop for a kick, which made it even more irresistible. I finished by mixing in some steamed rice. I'm stuffed. It was delicious - thank you!

First of all, this ramen warms up your whole body as you eat it. The thin noodles are cooked just right and provide a satisfying feeling. The broth is not too heavy, which is a big plus. Adding spicy miso to the broth gives it a kick, making you want to slurp up every last drop. Delicious!

(From a blog post) Today, while in the direction of Joyo City, I stopped by a Taiwanese ramen restaurant. Located along Route 69, Ramen Yatai is an easily accessible ramen shop with a welcoming atmosphere. Despite its name "Ramen Yatai" (ramen stall), it is not a stall-style setup but a properly built restaurant. Perhaps due to its roadside location, the spacious interior had mostly table seating. They offer Taiwanese ramen, Taiwanese maze-soba, and regular ramen. All priced at under 1,000 yen, it gives off a reasonably affordable impression. You can also order the Taiwanese ramen with "mild spiciness." Taiwanese Ramen (with meat): You can choose between "without meat" and "with meat." This time, I went with the "with meat" version. The ramen includes onions, garlic chives, bean sprouts, ground meat, and chashu. There seems to be a soy sauce-based sauce at the bottom. The instructions were to "mix well from the bottom and enjoy the flavors." The surface had a light chicken and vegetable umami. As you mix, the spiciness gradually increases. The noodles are slightly firm, providing a satisfying chew. The bite-sized chashu was plentiful. It paired well with the soup, and it was delicious when soaked in the soup. It's slightly spicy. I started to sweat subtly. Ground meat accumulated at the bottom, making me unintentionally drink a lot of soup. It was a deliciously spicy Taiwanese ramen!

When I searched for a lunch spot in Joyo City on Tabelog, this restaurant came up in the rankings so I decided to visit. Huh? I feel like I've been here before. Why don't I remember the name or the impression of this place? Despite my thoughts, I entered and found it quite crowded. Since I wasn't with a group, they quickly seated me at the counter, but a parent and child who arrived earlier were still waiting for a table. I ordered the popular Taiwan ramen, of course. When the ramen arrived, the man behind the counter, who seemed like the owner, told me that soy sauce had accumulated at the bottom, so I should mix it first. I mixed it as instructed and then bean sprouts emerged from the bottom. The owner said it's okay if the bean sprouts come out, giving me more advice. As I slurped the soup, it didn't have much impact. Then the owner advised me again, saying that adding this and that would slightly change the taste. Huh? Indeed, it was getting closer to the original Nagoya-style Taiwan ramen. I tried adding a lot, and it was quite good. In fact, it should be added. It warmed me up from the core, and as usual, sweat dripped onto the table. Thank you for the meal.

Limited to this year, the pre-business Thursday night series. It has been about three years since I last visited. The menu displayed on the ventilation duct above the counter. The "Taiwan Ramen" is still the star at this restaurant. The prices of the noodles have increased by a few tens of yen since three years ago. In addition to noodles, there are menus for side dishes, grilled dishes, and fried foods. Of course, there is also a drink menu to cater to the drinking needs. The laminated A4 menu on the table is quite different in content from the menu displayed on the ventilation duct above the kitchen. Upon closer inspection, the "Taiwan Mazesoba," which was a seasonal item three years ago, has been promoted to the regular menu. On the back of the laminated A4 menu, after looking at it, this time I ordered "Ramen" and "Small Rice" instead of Taiwan Ramen. When asked, "Would you like garlic?" I replied, "No, please without." (I actually want to have it with garlic, but...) After a few minutes of waiting, it was finally ready. The small rice comes with cucumber pickles. (Three years ago, it was mustard greens, but it's probably not a significant piece of information as not many people talk about the pickles that come with rice, well, it doesn't really matter.) Toppings include chashu, bean sprouts, and green onions. In this restaurant, menma is treated as an option and costs an additional 110 yen. So, if you order ramen with menma, it will be 790 yen, and the impression of being reasonably priced diminishes quite a bit. (Come to think of it, I've never had menma at this restaurant before.) The soup not dominated by garlic or leeks, I think the sesame flavor is not that strong, but it's delicious. It's quite different from when I had it in 2007. I don't feel the lingering taste of chemical seasoning, and it's pretty good. The pot of garlic chives on the table for seasoning. I'd like to try adding this for flavor variation, but I have work later, so I'll have to resist. In conclusion, this might be a place to visit when it's a "no need to hold back" moment. And drown in the savory aroma of garlic chives... (It's not easy to resist this.)

The parking lot is shared with the adjacent pachinko parlor. The famous Chinese noodle shop Hosokawa nearby also shared a parking lot with the pachinko parlor. Is this a common trend around here? Today's order: Taiwan Ramen (with meat) for 830 yen. Is Taiwan Ramen supposed to be like this...(?;) The soup has a very light color, and I hesitantly bring the spoon to my mouth... It really is so thin...? Thinking that, I slowly raise my face with a puzzled expression, and the person who seems to be the owner looks at me and says, "Please mix it well from the bottom~ haha," and continues, "Otherwise, it will only taste like dashi~ haha." Oh, it's a hybrid ramen, huh ← Meaning unclear haha Oh, how embarrassing haha Following their advice to mix from the bottom, the color of the soup changes rapidly and suddenly transforms into a delicious ramen!! Oh, how strange... (゜_゜;) It's completely different from before!! So delicious i(*´∇*)i They also told me, "Yan-nyan-jan goes well with oden, ramen, anything!" and "Red Yan-nyan is good for changing the flavor of ramen!" Even though I didn't order it today, a local acquaintance recommended that the yakitori here is delicious, so maybe next time it's Taiwan Ramen's revenge? haha ... with yakitori (^_^)/ I posted a picture before mixing as a souvenir... haha

First visit! There was a line at times, and I had been curious about this restaurant for a while. I arrived around 12:30 and waited for about 10 minutes. - Taiwan Ramen: The balance of minced meat, soup, and noodles was good and delicious. - Gyoza: The size and taste of the gyoza were average.

Visited a Taiwanese ramen restaurant called "Ramen Yatai" in Joyo, Kyoto. Convenient parking shared with a pachinko parlor. Ordered the Taiwan ramen without meat, with extra spiciness for 650 yen. The spiciness is adjusted with a miso paste called Yannin, containing chili pepper for a spicy Asian taste. The proper way to eat is to mix the soy sauce that has settled at the bottom. The combined soup had a nostalgic taste, reminiscent of ramen from old Chinese diners, and was very delicious. The extra spiciness warmed me up nicely, and I felt the 650 yen was a great deal. Visited around 11 AM on a Sunday and was seated immediately.

I finally went to a ramen shop that I had been curious about for a long time, Hoso Kawa Joyo store located nearby. Just like the one in Joyo, it was packed with customers waiting outside during the weekend lunchtime. I ordered the Taiwan ramen with meat for 780 yen (tax included). At first, it tasted similar to instant noodles you can make at home, but gradually the spiciness increased, reaching a level similar to CoCo Ichi's level 8 spiciness. The unique taste of the ramen, possibly enhanced by the onions, was really delicious. The Taiwan ramen at Joyo was amazing! It was a great meal.

I visited the restaurant based on my junior's recommendation that the Taiwanese ramen is delicious. I arrived around 11:40 for an early lunch and there were three groups waiting outside, showing how popular the place is. I got a seat at the counter within about 10 minutes and ordered the Taiwanese ramen with meat set (1050 yen). It arrived in about 10 minutes and they advised me to mix it well from the bottom. The soup was a cloudy tea color and tasted delicious from the first sip! It had a mild spiciness and was very gentle. I added some spicy condiments from the table but surprisingly, it didn't get spicier even after adding 7 or 8 servings. The flavor was more salty than spicy, with a crisp soy sauce taste and a hint of chili pepper. The ramen was thin and straight, perfectly blending with the soup. The meat slices in the broth were lean and the three pieces of freshly fried chicken were juicy. The restaurant was always full, truly a popular spot!

I finally visited this restaurant that I had been curious about for a while. I arrived at the restaurant around 7:30 PM, and about half of the seats were filled. I sat at the empty counter. Looking at the menu, it seemed like a combination of an izakaya and a ramen shop, offering dishes such as Taiwanese ramen, ramen, oden, and yakitori. This time, I ordered the default "Taiwanese Ramen with Meat" (780 yen). The bowl was filled with leeks, bean sprouts, onions, minced meat, and chashu hidden underneath. The soup had a spicy kick to it, with a light yet flavorful taste of animal broth, umami, and the sweetness of vegetables. The noodles were firm and had a good bite, with a strong wheat flavor that paired well with the soup. The chashu was tender and plentiful, adding to the deliciousness. Not only did the soup have great flavor, but the generous amount of ingredients like leeks, bean sprouts, onions, and minced meat also contributed to the overall taste. Since it's a place where you can also enjoy drinks, having Taiwanese ramen as a finishing dish after drinking might be a good idea.

I went to Joyo City in Kyoto for work. The Chinese restaurant I wanted to go to was full, so without much time, I went to a ramen food truck without any prior research. "Taiwanese ramen in Kyoto, that's rare... I'm actually from Nagoya, the authentic place. I've only had it once before (laughs)," I thought to myself as I entered. I chose the Taiwan miso ramen with meat for 890 yen, thinking, "Miso-flavored Taiwanese ramen, that's interesting." I also added a bowl of rice for an extra 270 yen. In my mind, it's all about Chinese food, and for side dishes, I went with char siu and egg (even though I've never tried it). I arrived after 1 PM, and the place was quite busy with locals and workers, giving me a sense of its popularity in the area. Here we go! Coming from Nagoya, having not eaten it much before, and trying it again after a long time, I dug in! Hmm, hmm. I don't really taste the miso ramen or Taiwanese ramen flavors... It's more like Taiwanese ramen style, I guess. There's chili oil on the table, but I didn't feel like adding it. The thin noodles weren't really my preference. The plate with char siu and egg had mayonnaise on it. I wondered how to eat it, so I mixed it with the soy sauce provided on the table. Hmm, it's like this... It could use a bit more meat, but it feels like a sunny-side-up egg. My stomach is full, but I'm not completely satisfied with the taste. The owner apparently trained in Nagoya, but I didn't really sense that. However, the cozy atmosphere in the restaurant and the friendly service from the staff, who seem to be loved by the locals, make it a nice place. Thank you for the meal.

A taste of memories from my student days. I made a detour since I was passing by. It's been about 10 years... It's a different kind of Taiwanese ramen from Nagoya, called "Yatai Ramen." The toppings are minced meat, leeks, onions, and bean sprouts. Today, I chose the meat option. The ramen here really hits the spot from the middle to the end. I started eating, thinking if it was like this at the first bite, then slowly, "Ah, it's delicious." It's still thriving after so many years. Thank you for the meal today!

While driving in the area, I stopped by this roadside restaurant with a garage during lunchtime. I ordered the "Taiwanese miso ramen (with meat)" for 790 yen. It took a little longer than usual to arrive, but when it did, the Taiwanese miso ramen (with meat) had a unique flavor with a rich miso broth. I usually order the Taiwanese ramen (without meat), but I felt it's important to change things up once in a while.
