Sorry for giving up on the popular ramen restaurant "Ichi" in Kyoto, but the ramen shop you see first when you turn back is not a bad choice! Despite its auspicious name, the taste is also very auspicious. The Ajitama Shio Ramen (1,000 yen) has a medium-thick noodles with a good balance of wheat flour flavor. The favorite Hosaki Menma is big, and the smoked pork shoulder is tender. If I had to choose between waiting for an hour at Ichi and not waiting at all at Ichiryumanbai, I would choose the latter for my second visit. Thank you for the meal!

I had salt ramen. The salt-flavored soup was familiar and reminded me of consomme soup. It had a comforting taste. There were many young female customers in the restaurant. There were counter seats and table seats. The location is convenient, making it easy to use after shopping, etc.

During a stroll along the Kamo River, I stopped by this shop. The elegant soy sauce ramen, filled with a refreshing taste, was truly amazing. Its gentle aroma perfectly matched the atmosphere of Kyoto. In particular, the chashu rice bowl topped with a half-cooked egg had a superb flavor with a hint of prickly sansho pepper. A must-visit spot when sightseeing in Kyoto!

We came to this restaurant to celebrate my birthday this time, as we celebrated my subordinate's birthday last time with their first dipping noodles. This time, we ordered regular dipping noodles. It was a simple dipping noodle with a soy sauce base, quite the opposite of the rich fish and pork bone dipping noodles from last time. It was similar to a slightly seaweed-flavored dipping noodle. The toppings included chicken and pork chashu, menma, and small chashu pieces in the dipping sauce. It was a refreshing and delicious dipping noodle. We finished by adding soup at the end. Thank you very much.

Soy sauce ramen for 900 yen (tax included). Since the inbound demand has returned, there are often long lines during meal times. I wonder if this place is being shared among foreign tourists because it's so delicious? I usually don't finish the soup when I eat ramen, but the soup here is really delicious and it feels like a waste to leave any. The first time I visited, I tried the soy sauce flavor and it was really delicious, so I've been sticking to soy sauce ever since... haha I should try something else next time!

Today I was working in Shijo-Karasuma again, and decided to go to Eiseitei for the first time in a while, but to my surprise, they were closed for the day. As a Plan B, I headed to Menya Ichiryu Takamatsu in Teramachi, a popular ramen shop known for their tsukemen. Even though it was just before 3 PM, there was already a long line. I ordered the soy sauce ramen with pork shoulder chashu and chicken breast meat, topped with rare bamboo shoot menma. The noodles were made with whole wheat flour, and the original soup was made with the finest Osan chicken. The dish arrived in just 5 minutes, and although it was a bit small, the soup was delicious with a deep flavor that made the noodles incredibly slurp-worthy. The two types of chashu were both delicious, and I especially enjoyed the bamboo shoot menma. I added Sansho pepper and Chidori vinegar to the soup halfway through to enjoy a change in flavor, and the Sansho pepper in particular paired wonderfully. I've been to the Sanjo branch of this shop before, and the Teramachi branch was just as delicious.

Last night's finale was at "Menya Ichiryu Manbai Teramachi" where I ordered a light soy sauce ramen. It was super delicious! #ramen #rameninstagrammer #rameninstagram #noodles #soysauce #soysauceramen #ichiryumanbai #Kyoto #Kyotogourmet #Kyotoramen #ShijoKawaramachi #ShijoKawaramachigourmet #ShijoKawaramachiramen #overate

I went to this restaurant again. It was a coworker's birthday, so I treated them to tsukemen for lunch. They had never tried tsukemen before, so I thought it would be interesting to go to a nearby shop that specializes in it. Last time, I ordered the large portion and it was too much, so this time I ordered the rich seafood pork bone tsukemen for 980 yen. I even tried the soup wari and finished everything. This place is popular with a rating on Tabelog of over 4, so I will definitely be coming back again.

A few minutes walk from Kawaramachi Station in Kyoto. I stopped by here today. The interior of the restaurant has counter seats and table seats, and the main menu consists of ramen and tsukemen. First, I purchased a meal ticket at the ticket machine and sat at a counter seat. I ordered the rich seafood tonkotsu tsukemen. Let's dig in! The dipping sauce is a strong seafood-tonkotsu flavor. It's quite thick and salty. It's a pretty common type of taste. The noodles have a good texture and I personally like them. I finished with a soup refill, which I found to be tastier. So, thank you for the meal! On this day, more than half of the customers in the restaurant were foreigners. It seems that the number of Japanese people entering ramen shops in the area has decreased quite a bit.

The inside of the store is very clean! The staff are friendly and provide attentive service! I ordered the soy sauce ramen which was light yet had a rich flavor, making me, a fan of rich flavors, fall in love with it! Surprisingly, it was quite filling, so I was pleasantly surprised! This is a restaurant I want to visit again!

The restaurant is usually known for having long lines, but today there was no line. I went with my coworkers and we all chose the maze-soba. We also added a char siu bowl. The maze-soba had delicious noodles that were slightly flat, making them easy to coat in the sauce. It was fun to customize the flavor with toppings like marinated egg yolk, lemon, and Sichuan pepper. The char siu in the bowl was different from the one in the maze-soba, being seared rare and very tasty! I look forward to trying the ramen and tsukemen next time. #Menya Ichiryu Manbai #Menya Ichiryu Manbai Teramachi Branch #Noodle Adventure #Noodlestagram #Maze-soba #Kyoto Gourmet #Kyoto Lunch #Kyoto Ramen #Kyoto Maze-soba #Kyoto Tsukemen #Taku Log #Taku Log Ramen

I searched on Tabelog to find a new ramen shop and heard from my colleagues living in the city that it was highly recommended. The popular dish seemed to be soy sauce ramen, but I noticed that many customers were eating tsukemen, so I ordered the rich seafood tsukemen for 980 yen with a large serving for an extra 100 yen. I started by trying the noodles alone, which had a great aroma and were delicious even on their own. When I dipped them in the sauce, they became even more delicious. The chicken, pork, and chashu were all delicious. There are still many high-level restaurants in Kyoto. I was lucky to get in, but when I left, there was a long line outside.

I tried the limited menu item, rich seafood and pork bone tsukemen, at Ichiryu Manbai Teramachi Honten, which is not available at the Kawaramachi main store. It's not a flagship menu item, so I didn't have high expectations, but it turned out to be a rich and flavorful seafood and pork bone tsukemen! With just this dish, this place could become a top restaurant...!! #tsukemen #ramen #seafoodporkbone #seafoodporkbonetsukemen #IchiryuManbai #KyotoGourmet #KyotoRamen #KyotoCityGourmet #KawaramachiGourmet

I visited Menjo Ichiryu Manbai Teramachi store in Kawaramachi, Kyoto. I tried their special rich seafood and pork bone dipping noodles. The flavor is a strong seafood-infused pork bone soup. The overall balance is good, but the noodles were a bit too firm and the dish was slightly salty. However, the saltiness complemented the soup well. Overall, it was a delicious dipping noodles, but it may not leave a lasting impression. Thank you for the meal!

I saw a post on Instagram of rich seafood tsukemen and I really wanted to try it. I'm glad they are open all day. There is also Inoichi nearby, which is a popular shop. It was quite a portion even for a regular amount of noodles. The soup was indeed rich as the name suggests. It was not a memorable taste, but I thought it would appeal to many people.

I ordered the special soy sauce ramen for 1100 yen and the seared soft-boiled egg and chashu rice bowl for 500 yen. The soup has a nice soy sauce flavor. The soft-boiled egg is a bit cold. The chashu is rare and made from chicken. The noodles are between soba and Chinese noodles. The chashu rice bowl is a bit bland. There was a small line before opening, but it didn't get full. There is only one ticket machine, so it takes time to buy a ticket if you line up before opening. Around 30 minutes after opening is a good time to go.

A ramen shop that is gaining popularity nationwide for its double soup made from chicken bone and duck, whole wheat noodles, double chashu made from pork and chicken, topped with bamboo shoots and green onions from Kyoto (personally, I think it's in the Hayashida style). The deliciousness of this ramen is appreciated by people all over Japan.

Today around 11 o'clock, I excitedly visited my favorite restaurant, Inoichiran, but there was a huge line!! It seems like the increase in tourists is causing this... (T . T) I gave up and started looking for another restaurant when I remembered Hitotsubamanbai. I've had their ramen and maze soba before, but this time I decided to try their dipping noodles for the first time. The special rich fish and pork bone dipping noodles. The dipping noodles had a hint of wheat fragrance from the bran, but it was a bit weak. The noodles are advertised as smooth and chewy, but they were actually quite firm and lacked the supple elasticity that is usually associated with chewiness. The dipping sauce prominently featured the fish flavor with a depth added by the pork bone, and it was tasty. However, it was quite salty, don't you think? The chashu (sliced meat) was tender and delicious, and the soft-boiled flavored egg paired well with the soup! I wasn't sure if they offered soup refills, so I asked the staff and they did provide it! They gave me a bowl and poured bonito soup to mix in, but even that was too salty! In the end, I gave up on finishing the soup and left the restaurant. Since I ordered dipping noodles, they should have explained about the soup refill during serving or had a notice on the table. Also, the soup refill should be customizable to suit individual preferences. The taste and service were not bad, but it fell short... Thank you for the meal!

The perfect way to end my last night in Kyoto was with a bowl of ramen! The soup wasn't too salty, unlike in Kanto where you often have to leave 3cm at the bottom because it's too salty. In Kyoto, that wasn't the case. They even had pepper, sansho pepper, vinegar, and other condiments for flavor variation, making the experience enjoyable.

I finished work early and suddenly felt like eating ramen, so I decided to visit this shop. I arrived at the shop around 8:30 PM, just before the last order. I purchased a ticket for the "Special Salt Ramen" (1,100 yen) and sat at the counter seat. The bowl that was brought to me was topped with chashu pork, bamboo shoots, seasoned egg, chopped green onions, and mitsuba. The soup was made from whole chicken and duck, with the chicken adding flavor and the duck providing richness, while the salt seasoning enhanced the taste and the chicken oil added depth. It was light yet flavorful with a rich taste. The noodles were made from whole grain flour from Kaneko Seimenjo, and had a strong aroma of whole grain with a good texture that complemented the soup well. There were two types of chashu pork used, with the pork shoulder loin having a strong meaty flavor and the chicken chashu being moist and delicious. The seasoned egg had a soft, runny yolk and a well-seasoned taste that paired well with the light salt soup.
