I am at Fushimi Inari. I missed lunch so I will eat in Fushimi. I decided to visit a restaurant I've been wanting to try called "Kinchann." I wanted to try their ramen, not just any ramen, but their "Sake Kasu Ramen." Fushimi is known for its sake, so I was in the mood for a ramen with sake flavor. I arrived a bit late so the restaurant was not crowded. I quickly ordered the Sake Kasu Ramen and waited. It arrived shortly and looked delicious. First, I tried the soup. It had a rich flavor and a hint of sake. I couldn't stop slurping it up. The noodles matched perfectly with the soup. Oh, and they even included fried tofu in the toppings. I wonder if this is in reference to Fushimi Inari Shrine. Before I knew it, I had finished every last drop. It was a satisfying lunch. I'll have to come back again soon.

I don't want to criticize too much, but I visited around 11:40 on Wednesday the 13th. The shop hadn't opened yet, so I confirmed that it opens at 11:30. I opened the door and asked how it was, and was told to come in. I thought maybe something had happened or they were running a bit late, so I sat down and placed my order. However, the food took a while to come out. The second customer came in around noon, and their food didn't come out until around 12:10. I want to believe that it was just a series of mistakes that day, but I personally don't plan on going back.

I made a reservation over the phone and visited Fushimi Inari Shrine for the first time. I looked at the menu and everything looked delicious. I tried the cold noodles, which were around 900 yen, but all the other dishes looked great too. There are many tourist spots around, so I recommend visiting early or making a reservation. Thank you for the meal. The interior of the restaurant was a bit small, but the background music and lively atmosphere were lovely.

I went to the second place~♩♩ so the amount is a bit less (*¨*) The first place didn't have draft beer, so my friend who loves draft beer was happy to quickly cheers with a big size beer. The order was gyoza, shrimp chili, and some kind of jellyfish dish (a bit vinegary). The jellyfish had a crunchy texture and a refreshing vinegar taste, it was amazing. I felt like I could eat it forever. It's so strange that jellyfish, which seems so soft and wobbly, turns out like this when cooked (*¨*) I will definitely eat this again. The shrimp chili had a sweet and oniony flavor with lots of fried gyoza skins, so dipping them in the sauce while eating was also something you could do forever. The gyoza was of course delicious. Overall, the quality seems high, it was so delicious. It might be guilty for the second place, but I want to try other menu items too. Like the sake lees ramen, for example...

Today, despite the heat, I was curious about the ramen made with sake lees from Tamano Hikari Shuzo, so I came to Chinese Kinchan. Perhaps because Ryukoku University is nearby, they offer a large serving of noodles for an additional 80 yen, and a free extra bowl of rice, which is quite appealing. It was delicious, and next time I will come to try the sake lees tantanmen. Chinese Kinchan, 41 Ichinotsubo-cho, Fukakusa, Fushimi-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture.

After work today, I stopped by this restaurant for ramen. I parked my car at a nearby coin parking and entered the restaurant after 8:30 PM. I sat at the empty counter seats and ordered the "Sake Kasu Ramen" (880 yen). The bowl was topped with chashu pork, fried tofu, bean sprouts, and chopped green onions, with a sprinkle of ichimi togarashi on top. When I tried the soup, it had a sake kasu aroma and a subtle sweetness, rich and flavorful with just the right amount of saltiness, with the spiciness of the togarashi adding a nice touch. The medium-thick straight noodles had a good chewy texture and a nice umami flavor, and they mixed well with the soup. The thick-cut pork belly chashu was well-seasoned and had a nice smoky flavor, pairing well with the soup. There was a generous amount of noodles and the soup and sake kasu flavors were prominent, with a rich and satisfying taste. It was a delicious ramen with plenty of chashu, and although it's a Chinese restaurant, they have a variety of ramen options available, so you can enjoy different types of ramen as well.

Fushimi Ramen Rally 2023, eighth stop. This time I tried the Sake Kasu Ramen for 880 yen. Luckily, I made it just in time before they closed. The ramen came with chashu, fried tofu, bean sprouts, and green onions with straight noodles. The flavor was slightly spicy, maybe from shichimi pepper? The straight noodles didn't absorb much of the soup, but when mixed from the bottom, the deliciousness of sake kasu exploded. Although the ramen rally has restrictions on the number of ramen you can try, if you're looking for a place that's not too far from the station and reasonably priced, I recommend going here after visiting Inari.

Kuma Log 3.6 ❄️ Today I stayed in Shiga all day, but for dinner, I went to "Chinese Kinchan" near my home in Kyoto. It's a Chinese restaurant, and I ordered the sake lees ramen. Surprisingly, they use Junmai sake lees from Atamadonokou Sake Brewery, so it's our beloved Hana-chan ramen. I enjoyed the ramen while savoring the sake lees, it was delicious! I only have one stamp left for the Fushimi Ramen Stamp Rally. The final ramen is going to be tough. #ramen #sakelees #sakeleesramen #sakeleesramen #noodles #ChineseKinchan #Chinese cuisine #Kyoto #Kyoto gourmet #Kyoto ramen #Kyoto lunch #Fushimi #Fushimi gourmet #Fushimi ramen #Fushimi Ramen Stamp Rally #Fushimi Ramen Stamp Rally 2023 #full recovery #ate ramen two days in a row #guardian deity of Thailand #looks similar

Ramen Gyoza Set for 990 yen. No waiting on weekdays at 1pm. The neighboring udon restaurant had about 10 people waiting outside. The ramen comes with soy sauce soup, 2 slices of chashu, bean sprouts, green onions, bamboo shoots, and seaweed. The gyoza are small but well-cooked, with 6 pieces. Also includes rice and pickles. The ramen has a flavorful broth and the chashu is exceptionally tasty. The gyoza, although small, are delicious as well. The only downside was that the rice was a bit hard this time. Despite that, it was a satisfying meal at a tasty local Chinese restaurant! I would like to try the mapo tofu and sake kasu ramen next time. Thank you for the meal!

I happened to find a Chinese restaurant while at work. I ordered the Sake Kasu Tantanmen set. Being in Fushimi, a sake brewery district, the flavors were rich and delicious! It also came with fried chicken, making it a great deal. This would be perfect for athletic students. I would definitely like to visit again if I have the chance.

Located right next to Fushimi Inari Station, this Chinese restaurant was my second choice after finding my intended restaurant closed. I ordered the "Sake Kasu Tantanmen" (990 yen) with a side of gyoza (300 yen). The Tantanmen had a thick and creamy soup, typical of Kyoto-style ramen, with a mild flavor thanks to the addition of sake kasu. The combination of the creamy soup and the spicy Tantanmen sauce worked surprisingly well together, resulting in a delicious dish. The only downside was the tap water, which was not very tasty. Overall, the noodles were firm and satisfying.

I visited Kinchan for the first time to have dinner. I think I ordered fried rice and sweet and sour pork (small) set. When I took a bite of the fried rice, I was surprised! It was extremely hard! I've never experienced anything like it before, even though I could tell the grains were separated. The sweet and sour pork was average. The dumplings were delicious. The fried chicken and ramen were okay. Thank you for the meal.

I stopped by while on a business trip to Kyoto. I ordered the sake lees tantan noodles with fried chicken and rice set. Fushimi is famous for its sake lees, so I chose this without hesitation. The tantan noodles were creamy and rich, probably influenced by the sake lees, and I loved it. The fried chicken was also delicious, of course. Thank you for the meal!

I decided to have lunch at Fushimi Inari Station. After some hesitation, I chose to dine at Kinchan. I vaguely remember dining here for dinner before, but this was my first time having lunch here. For lunch, I wanted to eat a lot, so I ordered the ramen and fried rice set. It was delicious, but I ended up feeling too full. The ramen had firm noodles that stayed hot and firm until the end. The bean sprouts were crunchy and tasty, and the bamboo shoots were oddly sweet. They also provided garlic oil for flavor variation. The fried rice was also delicious. Overall, the flavors were on the sweeter side, but I enjoyed it. I haven't had fried rice in a long time. I ate so much that I only had tofu for dinner. I'll have to think about what to eat next time. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal.

A Chinese restaurant located on the west side of Fushimi Inari. I ordered the mapo tofu set, which came with fried chicken, rice, and miso soup. It was a generous portion, with about one and a half servings of rice and a deep bowl filled with mapo tofu. I was very satisfied with the amount of food, and my stomach was completely full. Highly recommended for when you want a hearty meal.

I visited a Chinese restaurant for the first time in Kyoto Fushimi Inari, after visiting the shrine. Due to Covid, there were no other customers in the restaurant. I ordered a set meal with mapo tofu, chicken karaage, and rice, as well as a sweet and sour pork set meal. The authentic Chinese dishes were delicious, especially the perfectly seasoned sweet and sour pork. The mapo tofu had a great kick to it and I was very satisfied. It's a great deal at ¥1000 for such authentic Chinese food. If you're interested, please give it a try.

I had some time before the live show, so I decided to have a meal here. I ordered the sweet and sour pork set meal that was advertised outside and also got a beer. To my delight, they also served edamame. The set meal arrived shortly after. The portion of rice was quite large for me, which made me smile. The service was exceptional, with the staff always attentive in the dining area. Normally, in a regular restaurant, once the set meal is served, they tend to leave you alone until you finish. However, the young male staff here was different. He came to clear my beer glass as soon as I finished, and even asked if it was okay to clear it. Then, he promptly served me a warm oolong tea. It was impressive to see such great service in a common Chinese restaurant in the city. Thank you for the meal!

Visited before 12:00 on a regular day, no other customers in the store. The impact of the coronavirus has led to fewer foreign tourists, a big blow perhaps? Ordered the Sake Kasu Tantanmen (990 yen) with extra noodles (88 yen) and the regular Ramen (660 yen) with extra noodles (88 yen). The Sake Kasu Tantanmen had very thin noodles and the taste of sake kasu was strong, making the Tantanmen flavor subtle. The char siu was decent with three slices. The Ramen also had thin noodles, it was a soy sauce-based Ramen that felt like something you could make at home. Overall, it felt like a typical Chinese restaurant. The option for 1.5 times the regular portion was an additional 55 yen. The Jasmine tea served towards the end of the meal was a nice touch. This review focuses on the Sake Kasu Tantanmen, with a taste rating of 3.2 and a value for money rating of 3.2 for the Ramen.

Fushimi Ramen Rally 5th stop. Just a short walk from Keihan Fushimi Inari Station. More like a Chinese restaurant than a ramen shop. Usually crowded with tourists, but due to the current situation, there are fewer tourists and it's easy to get a table. Saw a sign for sake kasu ramen so I ordered that. Heard the sweet and sour pork is good so I also got fried rice and a small portion of sweet and sour pork. The fried rice is basic with fluffy eggs, chashu, and green onions. Surprisingly, it comes with miso soup. The sweet and sour pork has a nice tang from the vinegar, quite tasty. Now, the main dish, sake kasu tantanmen, topped with shredded chili peppers, green onions, lightly seared tofu, bean sprouts, and slightly disappointing dry chashu. The tantanmen is not very spicy, but the sake kasu adds a rich flavor. A bit of an unusual choice, so it's hard to judge its true strength, but it's convenient being close to the station.

After finishing our visit to Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto, the final stop of our New Year's visit from Kobe, we planned to have dinner somewhere before heading back to Kobe. However, we found out that the bus to Kyoto Station only runs once an hour due to the New Year's schedule, and we had to wait 50 minutes for the next bus. While others followed the advice of a kind local man and headed to Kyoto Station from JR Inari Station, we decided to have dinner to pass the time until the next bus. The area around Fushimi Inari Taisha was filled with touristy and pricey restaurants, but once we passed Keihan Fushimi Inari Station, we entered a more local area where we found a Chinese restaurant frequented by locals. They had a variety of set meals, and the noodles were reasonably priced. We ordered a bottle of beer for 660 yen including tax, I had the B set (tonkatsu + 2 fried shumai + rice + miso soup) for 1,100 yen including tax, and my wife had the chashu ramen for 792 yen including tax. Since most of the customers were locals, we thought we made the right choice by choosing this restaurant. However, my tonkatsu was thin, tough, and not very good. The fried shumai, which should have been worth around 150 yen for 2 pieces based on the set meal price, were also disappointing. My wife's chashu ramen had only about 5 slices of chashu, and the flavor was slightly inferior to that of Kyoto Osho. The ramen soup had a sweet soy sauce flavor similar to Banshu ramen, but it was not as good as the Banshu ramen we had tried before. My wife, who doesn't like spicy seasonings, added plenty of pepper and finished her meal. On our way home, I checked the reviews on Tabelog and found out that this restaurant received low ratings mainly for their fried dishes. I regretted not trying dishes like mixed vegetables, sweet and sour pork, or mapo tofu. If I have the chance, I would like to give this place another try. Thank you for the meal.
