Chuka soba (regular size) ¥770 Draft beer ¥200 I visited due to the attraction of 200 yen draft beer until 6 pm in the scorching heat of midsummer. I opted for the classic chicken broth soup. The soup was quite sweet but had a slight smell of chicken that was noticeable. The noodles also had a slightly unusual taste. I thought that in the past, this would have been considered quite delicious. Thank you for the meal. #Ten Ten Arashiyama Uzumasa Store #Kansai gourmet #Kyoto gourmet #Uzumasa gourmet #Kansai ramen #Kyoto ramen #Uzumasa ramen #Ramen #Want to connect with people who love ramen.

Today I ordered the classic white soup. I chose medium size with chashu noodles. It was refreshing and delicious. It was around 12:30 on a weekday, yet surprisingly not crowded. I wonder if there would be a long line in Tokyo. I waited for 5 minutes and then sat down. I would love to go back when I visit Kyoto again!

After finishing a morning appointment in Nara, I moved to Kyoto for lunch at this restaurant. I had heard of Ten Ten Yu before, but this was my first time eating here. I ordered the chicken broth ramen and bibimbap Kyoto set. While the portions were generous, the soup in the ramen didn't have a very deep flavor. Well, you won't know until you try it, right?

Today, I was working in Shijo-Karasuma again. The rainy season hasn't ended yet, so it's really humid and hot, making me sweat a lot. I decided to boost my stamina by going to Tentenyu Shijo-Karasuma branch. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is quite nice, and the chairs have high backrests, making it comfortable to sit. I ordered the Chicken Paitan Ramen with rice set. They subtly placed tissues in front of me, and I really appreciate the staff's low-key approach. The soup was a bit rich, but not overpowering, and it was delicious. Plus, you can add as much pickled ginger as you want, which I enjoyed for flavor variation. All this for a price in the 800 yen range is impressive. They have a wide variety of ramen types, making it a place I'd like to visit again.

Directly connected to Kyoto Shijo Station. It was lunchtime, but I was able to get in after waiting for a few minutes. Despite being near Shijo Station, the building is somewhat minor, so all the dining places were empty. The ramen, with a soy sauce base, was delicious. I felt the high level of competition in Kyoto's ramen battleground. I wonder if it would become even more popular if it were in a different location.

Ordered the Kyoto set (classic Chinese soba, bibin rice) for 1,040 yen. Located directly connected from Shijo-Karasuma Station, inside Cocoon Karasuma. It's been a while since I've been to Tentenyu. The sweet and rich chicken soup with medium straight noodles is another classic Kyoto-style ramen. Adding a little spicy miso really brings out the flavor! Another day of delicious happiness, thank you for the meal.

I have been a customer of this ramen restaurant for over 10 years, including their other branches. The main store is located in Ichijoji. Their chicken broth with a hint of vegetable sweetness is exquisite and truly delicious. I always order the "Ten Set" (rice set). You might think rice with ramen is strange, but they go so well together. I highly recommend trying it. I will continue to visit as much as possible. Thank you for the delicious meals every time.

Today's ramen! Second bowl!!!! Tonkotsu ramen, a classic rich and creamy soup, with 4 slices of chashu for 770 yen. It's a different taste from Ten Ten No Aru in Osaka Minato, but I really like it! Located in the basement of a complex facility, a bit hard to find. Good value for the price.

Original, Kyoto Tori Paitan! I used to go there often because my university was near the main store. This time, I returned to Kyoto after a long time and decided to visit out of nostalgia. The sweetness of the vegetables is still strong and the taste is addictive. Compared to before, the soup has become much richer, and it seems like the collagen has thickened.

Gentle ramen... Sweet. White miso? I don't think so, but I feel that kind of atmosphere. It's open all day and located underground in Cocoon Karasuma, so there's no busy and noisy feeling typical of ramen shops, making it a calm place to eat. It might be a hidden gem. Healing ramen...?

I went around 4 pm on a very cold day. I was happy that they were open all day. I was the only customer. I ordered the ramen and gyoza rice set. The ramen was the classic chicken white broth. I took a sip of the soup and it was sweet, creamy, and incredibly delicious. It was so cold and I was so hungry, so it was even more amazing. This is the best chicken white broth I've had recently. They only accepted cash for payment.

Cocoon Karasuma has been around for many years now in the business district of Shijo Karasuma, which is no longer uncommon in Kyoto. Despite the high rent in the area, it's surprising how the shops here don't change much. Among them, there is a ramen shop called Tenten Aru that has been operating in this location for a long time. Tenten Aru is a well-known ramen shop in Ichijoji, representing Kyoto, and many people have become fans of Kyoto ramen after tasting their ramen. However, after various twists and turns, the shop has now changed its style completely, and the ramen they serve is no longer the same as before. It's not that it's not delicious, and it's still in the same genre, but it's definitely not Tenten Aru. This change may not bother those who love Tenten Aru, as they have been operating like this for years. So, after shopping at Actus, you can choose between Kimukatsu (which I thought would disappear soon) or this place. Just for your reference!

Located on the basement floor of COCON KARASUMA, this is a franchise store of the famous Kyoto restaurant Tentenyu. The store is quite sophisticated, with a counter-only setup that slightly obstructs individual sightlines similar to Ichiran for COVID-19 measures. The menu is simple, offering only Chuka Soba and Chashu Ramen. Chuka Soba (regular) is priced at 770 yen, 1.5 servings for 840 yen, and 2 servings for 910 yen. Chashu Ramen (regular) is priced at 920 yen, 1.5 servings for 990 yen, and 2 servings for 1,060 yen. Additionally, customers can choose from 4 types of soup: "Classic (Chicken White Broth)," "Soy Sauce," "Black," and "Chicken Salt." The Chuka Soba with Chicken White Broth (770 yen) features thin straight noodles and a soup rich in chicken collagen. While delicious, the overall presentation felt lacking, with the chashu, green onions, and bamboo shoots appearing to be simply placed on top. It's disappointing to experience a subpar ramen with unpleasant green onions in Kyoto, a city known for its ramen shops. The dry and harsh green onions during a weekday afternoon visit were particularly tough to swallow. This may be influenced by the trend of Tokyo-style Kyoto ramen shops promoting fresh Kujo green onions. While the ramen is tasty, the feeling of a bygone era of Tentenyu and Tenkaippin franchises is disheartening. I hope that the unique and refined flavors of Kyoto's ramen can be preserved, as I do not wish for Kyoto's iconic ramen to be commercialized and standardized through nationwide chain expansion. Overall, it was a mixed experience. Thank you for the meal.

Located on the west side of Hankyu Shijo-Kawaramachi Station in the business district, there is a branch of the ramen shop Ten Ten Yū at COCON Kawaramachi, which has been open since its inception. The main store is located in Ichijoji, a representative area of Kyoto. Since the main store is not open during the day, before returning to Osaka after the 40th university graduation reunion, I had lunch here. While there are no traces of the old building that gives off a Showa era vibe that the main store has, the refined interior design with a large single plank counter stands out. During my student days, the actor Katsuhisa Namase, who was known as Yari Makuri Sanju in the theater group "Sotobakomachi," would ad-lib during intense performances at the West Lecture Hall of Kyoto University, saying "Ah, I'm hungry. I want to eat Ten Ten Yū ramen," which always made us laugh. At that time, when it came to ramen in Kyoto, it was either Tenka Ippin or Ten Ten Yū. With Tenka Asahi and Shinpukusai still being relatively small, and with only a few Tenka Ichi locations, Ten Ten Yū was a very famous shop. Since then, in the fiercely competitive ramen scene in Kyoto, the previous owner's son and employees quickly took survival measures by opening a shop called "Ten Ten, Yu" near Osaka's Suminoe Park. The taste from that time can now only be experienced at the main store or Suminoe. However, despite the twists and turns, it is still a blessing to have a branch near the station in the heart of Kyoto. The menu is simple, with only Chukasoba and Chashumen available, priced at 770 yen and 920 yen respectively for regular size. Each additional half serving adds 70 yen. Afterward, you can choose from four types of soup: "Standard (chicken white broth)," "soy sauce," "black," and "chicken salt." My favorite ramen in Kyoto is the "Chukasoba" from the main store of "Ten Ten Yū," but in order to reminisce about that taste and the past, I ordered the Chukasoba Regular Chicken White Broth (770 yen). The rich yet light soup satisfied my craving for Ten Ten Yū, but the toppings, chashu, negi, and shinchiku, were haphazardly arranged, giving me the feeling of the decline in quality similar to when Tenka Ippin expanded nationwide and the ramen quality of Ten Ichi in the Kanto region deteriorated. It's sad that this is happening in Kyoto itself, not in the Kanto region. I wish they had stopped the trend of cup noodle-ization that they started. Nevertheless, when I feel like Yari Makuri Sanju, the existence of this convenient branch in the bustling area near the station is much appreciated. I can't help but hope that Kyoto's specialties won't be expanded into a nationwide chain, but I thoroughly enjoyed the taste nonetheless. I have edited the dishes I received into a video, so please take a look if you'd like. It's around 43:17. https://youtu.be/GDw4X7L5js8

On the evening of October 10th, before leaving Kyoto, I had a bowl of "Chicken Paitan" ramen at my favorite ramen shop in Kyoto, "Tenten Aru." Every month on the 10th is "Tenten Aru Day," where the ramen that is normally priced at 780 yen is offered for just 500 yen. The menu includes the classic "Chicken Paitan," "Chicken Shio" with added salt sauce, the limited edition "Rich Salt" which is an intensified version of the Chicken Shio, as well as "Shoyu" and "Black" ramen, making a total of 5 options. This time, I tried the "Rich Salt" which maximizes the richness and flavor of the Chicken Paitan. The dish arrived in a black bowl with noodles in the center topped with chopped green onions and four slices of chashu arranged around it. The noodles were thin and straight. I took a picture with my smartphone, enjoyed the noodles, and finished the soup as well. It was delicious to taste the rich and flavorful "Chicken Paitan" at "Tenten Aru" after a long time.

The set of char siu ramen and bibimbap rice. Even though it's the same "Tenten U" chain, the ramen here is quite different from the main store. As a Kyoto local who used to be a fan of the extremely popular main store in Ichijoji, I can't help but feel that this isn't the true taste of Tenten U without knowing the main store's flavor. The soup, like the main store, has a unique sweetness but lacks a refreshing finish. Compared to the main store, the noodles here are thinner and tend to get soggy quickly even when ordered firm. Most importantly, the char siu here is quite different from the main store, in a negative way. It's thinly sliced, lacking in meaty juiciness, and has a dry texture. While the ramen is decent overall and provides some satisfaction, as a fan of the main store, it leaves me feeling conflicted.

It was already past 2 o'clock so I went in right away. The ramen was very delicious. It had a gentle flavor that I think anyone could enjoy. There were other types available that caught my eye, but I couldn't finish them all in one go. If I have the chance to go to Kyoto again, I would like to try it again.

I visited the original shop of Kyoto's chicken paitan ramen, Tenten Aru, after a long time. It had been quite a while, but it was still delicious. The soup has no strong flavor, with a rich yet refreshing taste. It's wonderful. However, Kyoto is a competitive ramen area with many famous chicken paitan shops, so maintaining a presence must be challenging.

I visited a ramen restaurant called "Tenten Aru" at the cocon Karasuma underground floor near the Shijo-Karasuma intersection around noon with one person. The restaurant has a calm atmosphere with only counter seats. Their main dish is chicken white broth ramen, with a soup made from chicken and vegetables simmered for 18 hours, giving it a slightly sweet taste and full of nutrients. There are four types of ramen available, and regardless of the choice, the prices are 720 yen for regular, 790 yen for medium (1.5 servings), and 860 yen for large (2 servings). If you choose the chashu ramen, the prices are 870 yen for regular, 940 yen for medium (1.5 servings), and 1,010 yen for large (2 servings). They also offer side dishes such as dumplings, bibimbap, rice, and kimchi. I had the Chashu Ramen with chicken white broth and added a boiled egg for 1,020 yen. The soup had a slightly thick texture and a subtle sweetness from the chicken and vegetables. Overall, it is a classic chicken white broth ramen shop with relatively reasonable prices. #ramen #KyotoRamen #gourmet #KyotoGourmet #ramenlover #KyotoRamenLover #gourmetlover #KyotoGourmetLover #ramenenthusiast #KyotoRamenEnthusiast #foodie #KyotoFoodie.

I happened to visit the restaurant on the 10th, which turned out to be an event day. They were offering regular ramen for a very affordable price of 500 yen. You could choose from four different types of soup, and I opted for the main chicken paitan in a medium size for 1.5 people. The taste was a bit lighter than I expected, I would have preferred it to be richer. After finishing my meal, I paid at the counter, which gave the place a street food vibe.
