While driving on a mountain road in Kyoto, I started to feel hungry. I was worried that if I didn't eat on this street, I might not get another chance to eat. But then, I stumbled upon a ramen shop! I was drawn into the parking lot of the shop and went inside to check out the menu. Besides salt and soy sauce ramen, they also had chicken white broth ramen! Since it's a chicken ramen shop, the chicken white broth must be delicious too! I ordered the fried onion chicken white broth ramen. I love when ramen has onions in it, but this was my first time trying fried onion on ramen! The soup was rich and moist, almost like tempura onion. The noodles were smooth and the soup coated them well. The onions soaked in the soup were delicious, and the chicken was also tasty. The combination of the chicken and the soup made it really delicious. I finished the soup in one go and it was a satisfying meal. Thank you for the meal.

The ramen had minced yuzu as a topping, but I personally thought it would be better without it. I wish the yuzu was served separately. The service was a bit slow, probably because there was only one chef handling everything until 7 pm when more staff come in. The taste was good, but the wait time was a bit disappointing.

The taste, price, and bowls are similar, as I expected. The mixed soba was delicious. The rich miso ramen was indeed rich and flavorful. The natural salt ramen was perfect. Maybe because they just recently opened or because it's a chain store, the menu is still limited.

Next to Kyoto City is Kameoka City. There is a stylish blue signboard ramen restaurant on Route 9. According to reviews, it's a branch of Shio Gensui. Interesting. I decided to go in. It's a slightly larger building typical of roadside restaurants. Plenty of seats for four people. By the way, there were various candies lined up at the entrance. They seem to be for service for customers with children, not for sale. I tried the special ramen and gyoza. The bowls even have the restaurant's logo. They are really putting in effort. I ordered two slices of chashu and seasoned egg. Plenty of bamboo shoots. A mountain of green onions. And seaweed. The chashu is sliced quite thin. Was it this thin at Shio Gensui? Or is it just this branch? The yuzu on top might be a nod to Shio Gensui. The burnt green onions floating in the soup complement the oiliness. The flavor is quite salty. No complaints about the soup. The green onions, although plenty, seem to be tangled and not mixing well. I wonder why. Nevertheless, the overall taste is consistent and of a certain level. Soup: ○, Noodles: ○, Questionable about the toppings, Gyoza is average. The family at the next table seemed to be enjoying choosing candies. There are probably many families around here. Perhaps the restaurant was designed with that in mind. It would be great if this unique taste could take root in this area.

I visited "Oishii Shio Ramen Nami no Hana Kameoka Store" in Kameoka City, Kyoto Prefecture for lunch for the first time. It seems to be a franchise store of the salt ramen chain "Shio Gensui". It's about a 20-minute walk from JR "Kameoka" station, so driving there is convenient as they have parking. I arrived around 11:10 am on a weekday. The restaurant was not crowded, probably because it was still early. I ordered a total of 1,112 yen worth of food, but with a discount, the bill came to 1,110 yen. I ordered: - Natural Salt Ramen 836 yen - Chashu Don 275 yen - LINE special (extra seasoned egg) 1 yen. After waiting for about 8 minutes, I was served the ramen first, followed by the chashu don. The salt ramen had a clear soup with medium straight noodles and toppings like green onions, bamboo shoots, 1 slice of chashu, yuzu peel, and a seasoned egg. The soup had a hint of burnt garlic on the surface. The green onions were a bit dry, which was disappointing. The taste of the ramen was decent but not exceptional in terms of value for a ramen lunch. The chashu don was average. I used to find the salt ramen from the Shio Gensui chain quite delicious, but with more stores opening, it has become less impressive. Nevertheless, it was still tasty.

I visited a ramen restaurant in Kameoka City after finding out that the ramen shop I originally planned to visit in Ikeda City was closed. The restaurant, "Nami no Hana," is located along Route 9 in Kameoka City and is affiliated with the Shiomonsui group. - Arrival time: 1:25 PM - Crowdedness: 20% I ordered the natural salt ramen with extra yuzu and a side of fried chicken. The ramen was served in about 10 minutes. The taste was similar to other Shiomonsui group restaurants I have been to before, with a good balance of flavor and saltiness. I noticed that the amount of yuzu was less than what I remember from the past, but it could be due to my taste buds getting used to it or the restaurant adjusting the amount for a wider audience. The fried chicken was delicious, with a soft and chewy texture that I personally enjoy. It was a satisfying meal after a sunny and hot motorcycle tour over the mountains. Thank you for the meal.

Here, delicious salt ramen Nami no Hana! It's not easy to declare your own ramen as delicious in the shop's name! This must be really tasty! Choose salt ramen! Hmm, it's just average. Recently, all ramen is delicious, but this one is just normal. But, I found something delicious! That is... fried rice! It had a strong and good flavor.

This time, I went on a soccer-watching trip to Kyoto. Since I had some time before the game, I decided to do some sightseeing. The weather was really nice, but it was too hot. Still, I had ramen for lunch. I heard that there was a delicious ramen shop called "Shioramen Nami no Hana" in Kameoka, so I decided to stop by. The ramen had a Kyoto-style twist to it. The charred green onions were delicious! The soup tasted the same as always. Thank you for the meal! By the way, it was so hot that I also had a lunch beer. I had to have a drink to survive the heat!

On the way from the site! I found a salt ramen restaurant along Route 9 in Kameoka! I think it used to be a ramen shop before? I think it was called Kibouken or Jiyuken? I'm not sure, but before that, wasn't it Fujihira-san's place? I love salt ramen, so I decided to go in! Even though it was lunchtime, there were not many customers! I ordered the salt ramen with fried rice set. The salt ramen seemed familiar somehow... Oh! It's Shio Gensui! When I looked it up, it turns out to be a branch of Shio Gensui! Shio Gensui seems to be opening up various shops under different names recently! Shioemon is also a branch of Shio Gensui! Well, I love Shio Gensui, so it was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

This is a review of the ramen restaurant "Delicious Salt Ramen Nahanohana" in Kameoka City. The restaurant seems to be a franchise of Shiomonsui. Originally, it was operated at the location of Kibouken. The restaurant is located along Route 9. It has a noticeable blue and white sign, making it easy to find. There is a parking lot in front of the store, but it is not very large. The interior of the store is similar to the previous Kibouken, with a wooden design and counter seats in the back and table seats in the front. As for the customer service on this day, the female staff member was very unfriendly, which was quite unpleasant. The menu mainly consists of natural salt ramen, soy sauce ramen, miso ramen, and tsukemen (salt, soy sauce, miso). There are no menus like rich soy sauce ramen that are available at Shiomonsui. There were also limited-time menus like salt tanmen and salt vegetable tanmen. In addition, there were a variety of a la carte dishes and value sets combining a la carte dishes with ramen. On this day, I ordered the chashu ramen for 980 yen. The ramen that arrived after a while had a slightly cloudy salt soup in a familiar bowl from Shiomonsui, with toppings like chashu and green onions. The soup had a moderate saltiness and a savory flavor of seafood. It was a well-balanced taste that is easy for everyone to enjoy. The noodles used were low-water, medium-thin straight noodles with a good chewy texture. The chashu was thinly sliced and well-balanced in terms of fat content. This was my first time trying the delicious salt ramen Nahanohana in Kameoka. Compared to other restaurants in the same franchise near my home, I felt that the customer service and ramen quality were slightly inferior. The fact that there were fewer customers on weekends also made me wonder. I hope that when I visit again someday, there will be improvements.

When it comes to Shio Marshals' salt ramen, it's really solid and satisfying! In a sea of underwhelming salt ramen, this one stands out as a great bowl. The set also includes a decent portion of delicious fried rice. Plus, they have a parking lot, which is convenient.

Visited on Sunday, September 19, 2021, a little after 4:00 PM. There were no cars in the parking lot, but one customer was already there. I sat at an empty table and ordered the natural salt ramen, without the yuzu. It arrived in about 5 minutes. The soup had a delicious aroma of fried onions, and the thick noodles were very tasty. The rich salt flavor in the soup complemented everything well. Overall, it was a well-balanced and flavorful salt ramen. It was definitely delicious, but I couldn't quite distinguish it from a regular salt ramen. Nevertheless, it was a tasty bowl.

I visited "Oishii Shio Ramen Nami no Hana Kameoka" in Kameoka City. It is a new branch opened in July as a franchise of Shio Gensui. I ordered the "Shio Ramen (Special)" and it arrived in about 10 minutes. The salt-based soup had a good balance of umami and sharpness, with fried onions and yuzu peel adding a nice touch. The chashu was large, tender, and lightly seasoned, complementing the soup well. The noodles were flat and medium-thin, with a satisfying texture. The restaurant is spacious with parking available, making it convenient for those traveling by car. I look forward to visiting again as I may be coming to Kameoka more often. This was my 277th ramen experience this year.

I was curious about a newly opened salt ramen shop, so I went there. I ordered the salt ramen with flavored egg. The noodles were a bit firm and smooth, and they were delicious. Despite being salt ramen, the flavor was rich. Even my 70-year-old mother enjoyed it. My child ordered fried rice. They usually leave it at another place because it's greasy, but they finished it all here! The bamboo shoots were a bit tough, but the flavored egg with the runny yolk was delicious. Personally, I prefer the green onions to be sliced rather than shredded, but that's just my preference. I didn't feel heavy in the stomach, and I enjoyed it until the end. The seating area is spacious, so they have good COVID-19 prevention measures in place. They also have a menu with allergy information, making it a safe choice for both children and adults.

While driving on National Route 9 in Kameoka City, I came across a new salt ramen specialty shop called "Nami no Hana." I remembered that it used to be a ramen shop called Kibokken, but as a salt ramen lover, I was excited to try this new place. On my way back from work in late July, I decided to stop by around 11:30 am. There were a few customers already there, and the shop had several box seats with a decent seating capacity. Looking at the menu, they mainly offered salt ramen, but also had soy sauce ramen and tsukemen. The set menu was appealing, with options like gyoza, karaage, fried rice, and chashu bowl. During lunchtime, white rice was complimentary (with free extra serving). I decided to order the "Natural Salt Ramen" for 760 yen and a half fried rice for 200 yen (excluding tax). The salt ramen had a slightly transparent brownish soup with fragrant burnt leeks floating on top. It looked oily and had a glossy appearance. When I took a sip, I realized that the soup was very similar to the one from Shio Monja. After a quick search on my phone, I confirmed that "Nami no Hana" was indeed a shop under the Shio Monja brand. While the toppings and some services were different from Shio Monja, the strong salty umami flavor of the soup was unmistakably Shio Monja. The flat thin noodles were familiar with a firm texture. The toppings included a large slice of chashu, menma, and shredded green onions. The chashu was thinly sliced pork belly cooked in a light seasoning, which enhanced its flavor when eaten with the noodles. The menma was thick and soft, providing a satisfying chew. The half fried rice had a rich salty flavor, likely using the salt sauce from the ramen. It was oily but well-dried at high heat, making it very delicious. It was also quite generous in portion, comparable to about 1.5 times the size of Gyoza no Ohsho's standard fried rice. Overall, unexpectedly stepping into a Shio Monja affiliated shop, I found subtle differences that added uniqueness and showcased their high quality. This discovery added to my excitement for future visits to Kameoka City. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I visited the restaurant after 8:00 PM, just in time for the last order. This restaurant is a newly opened franchise of Shio Gensui, which opened on July 1st. I sat at the counter and ordered the special ramen, which looked the most luxurious. When asked if I was okay with yuzu flavor, I said yes. The bowl arrived with a large slice of chashu, seasoned egg, bamboo shoots, green onions, and seaweed. The soup had a layer of oil on top and burnt onion floating, resembling Shio Gensui's style. The soup had a rich umami from seafood and meat, with a hint of yuzu. The noodles were chewy and coated in soup, and the chashu was flavorful. Overall, it was a delicious salt ramen, even though the yuzu flavor was subtle. The restaurant also offers a variety of set menus and has parking and table seating, making it suitable for families.

It was light and delicious, I was satisfied, thank you.

The moist half-fried rice was delicious, I think it was called Salt Marshal.

Almost the same as Shio Marshal, it was good that it was piping hot, but there was too little chashu for a chashu ramen.
