I ordered 200g of ramen with extra vegetables and pork fat. The chewy vegetables here are really good! They go well with the chashu! The amount of noodles is just right at 200g. The pork fat was a service addition, but I could have done without it. Well, that's just personal preference!

Located on Shidan Street, north of Fujimori, along the road to the east, is Ramen Ryu no Sakura. It is within walking distance from Keihan Fujimori Station, with the nearest city bus stop being Fukakusa Nishiuracho Bus Stop. As of August 2023, their regular closing day has been changed to Wednesdays. I was intrigued by the paid topping of curry powder last time, so I decided to try it. I ordered the basic ramen (300g) and the curry powder topping from the ticket machine. As of August 2023 (tax included), the ramen (300g) costs 800 yen, and the curry powder costs 50 yen. I opted for the regular amount of vegetables as it was quite generous. The curry powder was served separately in a dish. After savoring a bit of the ramen, I sprinkled the curry powder over the soft vegetables and gave it a try. It had a curry flavor but also a bit of saltiness. This experience made me realize the importance of other ingredients in adding depth and richness to the curry flavor. Perhaps using the curry powder to change the taste of the soup would be a better option. The thick, flat, curly noodles had a strong chewiness to them. The soup was a mild tonkotsu shoyu broth. The garlic added a strong kick, so opting for a bit more might have been a good idea. This time, it really packed a punch. The large, tender chunk of roasted pork provided a satisfying bite. Despite being a regular 300g serving, the overall portion was generous, and the satisfaction level was high. I enjoyed the Jiro-style ramen.

Located on Shidan Street, north of Fujimori, along the eastern road, is Ramen Ryu no Sakura. It is within walking distance from Keihan Fujimori Station, with the nearest bus stop being Fukakusa Nishiuracho. I visited as part of my garlic intake routine. I ordered the basic ramen (300g) from the ticket machine. As of July 2023 (tax included): Ramen (300g) 800 yen Toppings are free: Vegetables: normal, Fat: none, Garlic: extra. Last time, I ordered extra vegetables and it was too much, so this time I went with a normal amount. The ingredients in the ramen, such as simmered bean sprouts and cabbage, are soft. Since the portion is large, I sprinkle black pepper provided on top while eating. The garlic here is HOT and packs a punch. This time, I got extra garlic, so the aroma is strong. As I ate the vegetables, a chunk of roasted pork appeared. It's huge but easily falls apart with chopsticks. It's not overwhelming and I could eat as much as I want. There's also a half boiled egg. The noodles are thick, flat, curly noodles with a strong texture. The soup is pork bone soy sauce, with a mild flavor. There's a little fat floating on top. I didn't add extra fat, but it's still a bit rich. Even with a normal amount of vegetables, the overall portion is still large. It seems like having fewer vegetables would create a better flavor balance, but I still want to get my vegetable intake... I enjoyed the garlic-rich pork bone soy sauce ramen.

This ramen shop specializes in Fujimaru-style ramen, which is a branch of the Jiro-style ramen. The toppings include soft vegetables, thick and curly noodles, sweet soup, and a boiled egg. The reviewer enjoyed the ramen, especially the noodles and soup, and plans to order a smaller portion with extra vegetables next time.

I visited around 11:30 am on a weekday and there were already 2 customers ahead of me. By the time I left, there were about 8 more customers who came in. I ordered the Spicy Ramen (900 yen) with normal vegetables, a little extra oil, and a little extra garlic. I had to wait quite a bit after entering, probably because they boil the noodles all at once. Now, onto the taste test. It's been a while since I've had this ramen, but the thick noodles were soft with a satisfying chewiness that I like. It was my first time trying the spicy version, and honestly, it was really spicy! But delicious. I didn't drink the soup, but it looked interesting. The tender, large piece of meat was as tasty as ever. And at this price, this restaurant is truly a great value.

Arrived at 11:00 on June 20th (Tuesday). Was the first to arrive, accompanied by two others besides my wife. Ordered "Ramen with Quail Soy Sauce" with 200g of noodles and garlic. The soup is a lightly emulsified soy sauce flavor with a large amount of pork fat floating on top. The soy sauce flavor is strong but also has a noticeable sweetness. I opted for less noodles and added extra pork fat, resulting in a significant amount of fat. The noodles are thick, curly, hand-cut noodles. You can choose from 100g, 150g, 200g, or 300g, and I chose 200g. Normally it comes with 300g of noodles, but you can opt for fewer noodles and add a raw egg or extra pork fat as a topping. The noodles are soft, chewy, and absorb the soup well, making them delicious. The chashu pork is a large block that is tender and well-seasoned. The quail eggs are slightly seasoned and add a nice touch to the rich soup. Additionally, half a boiled egg and soft bean sprouts that have absorbed the soup well are served. The interior of the restaurant consists of only counter seats with a limited number of seats. The decor is simple with a black color scheme, no background music, and a quiet atmosphere. This was my first time trying a ramen from the Fujimaru-style Jiro ramen, and it was flavorful and filling. Thank you for the meal!

Today, I was feeling hungry so I went to "Ramen Ryu no Sakura," a Jiro-style inspired ramen shop in Fujimori. I had the soup-less ramen. They use crunchy bean sprouts, flat curly noodles, and a Fujiwara-style broth, making it easy to eat. Highly recommended!

The restaurant is located north of Shidan Street, east along the road from Fujimori. The nearest stations are Keihan Fujimori Station or the Shinkasunishiuramachi bus stop. I don't usually eat Jiro-style ramen, but it comes in handy when I want a hearty meal. This was my second attempt at Jiro-style ramen, with my last experience being a bit fuzzy as it was during the Heisei era after a night of drinking. I remember not getting the extra large portion. Today, I ordered the ramen (300g) at Ryunosakura, aiming to make it a Mongolian fusion style, but unfortunately, fusion was not available. With the 300g portion, I estimated it to be easier than a regular CoCo Ichibanya curry, so I ordered extra vegetables, less oil, and normal garlic. The toppings were confirmed by the chef before serving. The ramen was served with a generous amount of vegetables, a bit of oil, garlic cloves, and a bowl overflowing with soup. The boiled bean sprouts and cabbage were soft and plentiful, so I added some salt and pepper provided on the table. The oil was not overwhelming, and the garlic provided a strong kick. For garlic lovers, I recommend adding extra garlic. As I dug into the vegetables, I found a huge piece of pork with the skin on, which was tender and easy to shred with chopsticks. The ramen also came with a half-boiled egg. The noodles were thick, flat noodles with a chewy texture similar to Sano ramen. They had a strong bite to them. The soup was a mild blend of pork bone and soy sauce, with the sweetness of the vegetables and the richness of the pork creating a harmonious flavor. The seasoning was slightly strong, making the soup delicious. However, with the mountain of vegetables and noodles, the overall flavor was a bit diluted. I felt a bit overwhelmed by the amount of liquid in the vegetables while eating, and although I finished the noodles, I had to give up on the soup. I thought about taking the soup home and cooking some Chinese noodles to enjoy another bowl, but I wasn't prepared, so I had to give up on the idea. To fully enjoy the dish, I should have ordered normal vegetables or less noodles. Be cautious when ordering the extra-large portion (+150g). The appearance was wild, but the taste was mild, making for a unique ramen experience.

Ramen 200g. For those unique individuals who want to go there next time, here is the place. Personally, I don't recommend it at all. The shop is empty but no sign of preparing until the next customer arrives. Finally, it was cooked simultaneously with a few people from the next continent, but the oil that was supposed to be reduced in exchange for the noodles didn't come out until everyone else had finished eating! The most unappealing thing is how they act so superior towards people. The old man cleaning? He gets angry at the noisy people from the next continent. He only speaks kindly when the regular Ryudai student comes. If they only care about Ryudai students, they might as well move the whole shop to Ryudai and join the ranks of the school cafeteria!

I arrived at the store right when it opened, no one was waiting in line. The atmosphere was a bit intimidating as mentioned in other reviews, but once I entered, it wasn't that bad. They were playing hip-hop music non-stop. I'm not very familiar with Jiro-style ramen, but this one was a bit on the sweeter side. The bean sprouts could have been a bit crunchier. Overall, it was a typical Jiro-style experience.

I tried Jiro-style ramen for the first time in my life. Since it was my first time, I couldn't imagine what to expect, so I opted for less noodles (usually 300g, but I chose 200g). I was told that those who choose less noodles would get a choice of "raw egg" or "extra pork fat" as a bonus, so I chose the extra pork fat. This turned out to be a mistake. I had mistakenly thought it would be something like "tempura flakes." As you can see in the photo, it was actually a quite heavy amount of fat. I usually order my ramen with extra fat and strong flavor at my regular ramen shop, but the fat in Jiro-style ramen was a bit different and heavier. Nevertheless, it was delicious. I realized the toughness of Jiro-style ramen and felt that maybe I only needed about half of the fat. Thank you for the meal!

No broth ramen for 800 yen, extra vegetables, a little extra garlic. Today was short-staffed, no greeting upon entering. However, the staff was chatting with some customers. The noodles were just right, not too firm or too soft. The amount of noodles felt a bit more due to the oiliness. Topping sauce was a bit light and thin. As a result, the chashu pork had a strong flavor. The chashu was tender and large, made from belly meat so it had a lot of fat. It had a salty and rich taste that went well with the noodles. There was also a nice aroma of fried onions. Overall, compared to Ramen Sho, this place had more oil, flavorful chashu, soft vegetables, and slightly more noodles. Next time, maybe less oil would be better.

In Kansai, a rare find is the Fujimaru-style ramen. The sweet emulsified soup pairs perfectly with the crunchy vegetables and soft noodles. The pork is incredibly tender and the portion size is huge, with a rich flavor that makes you keep eating more and more. This might be my favorite in the Jiro-style ramen scene in Kyoto!

Ramen for 800 yen with less noodles, complimentary egg, and Fusion topping for an additional 100 yen. Heard about this Jiro-style ramen with Fusion topping at Fukakusa, which is said to be popular in Kanto region. This was my first time trying it. Not sure if it's really catching on. This time, I decided to challenge it with less noodles. The taste... Well, I tried to get rid of the most annoying vegetables and added the Fusion topping, but... Oh no. It tastes like mapo tofu. It was terribly off-putting, so I struggled to eat only the parts without it and left. I really can't recommend this.

On May 24, 2022, around noon on Tuesday, I chose ramen at the ticket vending machine and clipped a laundry clip. I selected 200g of noodles and asked for pork fat bits. I ordered extra vegetables, less fat, and no garlic. It took about 15 minutes from purchasing the ticket to the serving, so the timing of my visit was not good. The taste was not as rich as I expected. One good thing about this restaurant is that they have pepper and vinegar, so you can enjoy changing the flavor. I was stuffed after eating.

I visited the restaurant on a rainy day, Saturday at 11:50 am. There were already 6 customers ahead of me and only 2 empty seats. It was busy. More customers kept coming in. However, after 12 pm, there weren't many new customers. This time, I ordered ramen (800 yen) with normal vegetables, a bit more oil, and a bit more garlic. The ramen had a large slice of pork and even a smaller one, which was a pleasant surprise. The taste was consistently delicious, and I was satisfied. On rainy days, they offer double stamp points, so it's recommended for those who want to accumulate stamps.

Visiting at 12:15 on a regular day, there were 3 customers before and 5 customers after. Today, the owner and a new person were in the kitchen. I ordered dipping noodles (900 yen) with 5 quail eggs (100 yen), normal vegetables, a bit more oil, and garlic. The noodles seemed to be cooled down, even when dipped in the broth they didn't warm up much. I prefer them warmer. The noodles went down smoothly at first, but towards the end, they slowed down unexpectedly. It's a unique characteristic of this place, maybe due to the heavy oil. The pork slices were as big and satisfying as always. Adding extra pork might be risky. The quail eggs were flavorless and unnecessary. I wonder how soy sauce quail eggs would taste. In conclusion, this place is best for ramen. If you're looking for a punch, the soupless option might be worth considering. Dipping noodles don't seem to justify the extra 100 yen compared to ramen. Ramen might be a better choice at the same price.

Visited on Saturday at 12:00 PM. There were 3 empty seats and I was able to enter smoothly. Two staff members were working based on Twitter information. I went for the fusion ramen this time. The two staff members were young, and the owner seemed to be absent. I ordered the ramen (800 yen) with a side of fusion topping (100 yen). I asked for regular vegetables, a little extra fat, and added garlic. The pork slices were thick, tender, and delicious as usual. The broth didn't feel too heavy today. Compared to the spiciness of the Momo Tannmen Nakamoto I had before, the fusion topping was spicy but manageable. It might have mixed with the ramen broth as well. The final sip of the broth was also enjoyable. I struggled towards the end during my last visit, but was it because I had the soupless ramen that time? With ramen, the fat in the broth flows, so it might be lighter than soupless ramen. I was able to finish without any difficulty this time.

Opened in October 2021 in Fushimi Ward, "Ramen Ryu no Sakura" seems to follow in the footsteps of "Fuji Maru" and is an eatery inspired by Jiro-style ramen. I arrived at the restaurant right after it opened at 11:30. There was a ticket machine, and the default ramen was priced at 800 yen for 300g, so I ordered 200g. I also ordered a raw egg as a topping since I opted for less noodles. When asked if I wanted garlic, I said, "Yes, please." The noodles were thick and curly, with a delightful chewy texture. The soup was Jiro-inspired, with a rich pork umami and a strong flavor from the sauce. The garlic paired well with the soup, and the seasoned fat added to the deliciousness. Toppings included thick slices of chashu and crunchy bean sprouts, as well as a boiled egg. The raw egg also complemented the dish nicely. The Jiro-inspired flavor had a good balance of taste, slightly on the rich side, which would likely appeal to the many students in the area. It was a satisfying meal. Thank you for the delicious food.

When I visited the restaurant around 2 pm on Saturday, there were 2 customers already there, and 5 customers came in after me. There were 2 staff members working that day. I bought a ticket for the soup-less ramen (800 yen) with normal vegetables, slightly more oil, and added garlic. The soup-less ramen had plenty of onion chips on top of the chewy vegetables. The pork was tender and fell apart easily as usual. The flavor seemed stronger than regular ramen. I felt satisfied as I ate quickly, but towards the end, I suddenly felt full. I managed to finish it, but the weight of 300g made me wonder if it was because of my age or the strong flavor. If you like rich and hearty meals, the soup-less ramen is a good choice, but personally, I might prefer regular ramen.
