This is an old-fashioned ramen shop that locals frequent, as can be seen from the exterior. I ordered the Chashu Ramen for 1000 yen. The ramen has a nostalgic feel to it. The chashu is sliced thickly and tastes good. The green onions seem a bit dry, as if they were cut a while ago, but the overall taste is satisfying.

Today, I went to Oofuku Ramen, where the soup was filled to the brim with an old-fashioned atmosphere, and I was delighted to have the Chashu Men Large. It can be turned into a set meal for an additional 200 yen, which is a great deal. Oofuku Ramen, 22-4 Ishihara-cho, Kyocho-ku, Kyoto, Kyoto.

I ordered the char siu ramen. The noodles were overcooked and soggy. I noticed that the chef just dumped the noodles into the pot without stirring them at all before serving. When I tried to pick up a bite of noodles with my chopsticks, a huge clump of noodles came out. I don't understand the high ratings and positive reviews for this place.

I visited here during the daytime on a regular day. I parked my car in the parking space right next to the store, entered around 1:45 PM, and there were 3 customers already inside. I ordered the "Regular Ramen" from the relatively simple menu, and it was served within about 4 minutes. The cloudy tonkotsu soy sauce soup looked very appetizing, giving off a vibe of authentic Kyoto ramen. The thick soup had a strong pork bone flavor, but the combination of soy sauce and pork bone umami was well-balanced and delicious. I couldn't help but slurp it up eagerly. Adding garlic and chili pepper from the table enhanced the flavor, making it even more to my liking. The slightly soft noodles also complemented the tasty soup well, disappearing quickly into my stomach. The flavorful chashu, with hardly any fat but juicy and tender, was excellent. The crunchy texture of the generously cut green onions was also enjoyable. Although I felt the portion size of the regular ramen was slightly lacking, the nostalgic and delicious taste of the soup was well-executed. However, I must admit that I don't want to come back again due to the unpleasant experience with other customers, as mentioned in some strict reviews on Google Maps. I hope the restaurant takes thorough measures for infection prevention.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I had been avoiding eating out, but I decided to go during a less busy time. I arrived at 11:15 AM, a little earlier than usual, so the restaurant was not crowded. It's a small place with only counter seats, but I chose a seat near the entrance for better ventilation. I ordered a ramen (700 yen including tax) and it was ready in about 5 minutes since it was not busy. I took a sip of the slightly thick soup first. It was delicious. The chopped green onions were surprisingly spicy, but it went well with the soup. The three slices of lean chashu were tasty when dipped in the soup. Overall, it was a delicious and well-balanced ramen. There were no other customers while I was there. I rated only on service and atmosphere. The ramen was good, but for personal reasons, I won't be revisiting. Sitting near the well-ventilated entrance was a good choice. Check out my Google Maps review for more details.

For lunch today, I visited "Daifuku Ramen," which has a somewhat nostalgic atmosphere of a local Chinese restaurant on my way to work. The menu is quite simple, so I sat at the counter and ordered "Ramen (700 yen)" with an additional "Set meal (rice, pickles, salad) (+200 yen)." It seems to be run by a couple, and by 11:30, it was already quite busy with what seemed like regular customers. After a while, the ramen arrived with pork clear soup topped with pork loin chashu, menma, and wide-cut chopped green onions. At the same time, the set meal with white rice, pickles, and salad also arrived. I took a sip of the pork clear soup, and the appetizing aroma of the pork clear soup filled my nose, followed by the rich flavor and umami of the soup spreading throughout my mouth. The sweetness of the soy sauce base added to the richness, making it incredibly delicious! Pork clear soup is rare in Kyoto, but the deliciousness made me feel a sense of nostalgia, as if I had tasted it somewhere before. The slightly soft straight thin noodles blended well with the soup, tasting incredibly good! The pork loin chashu had a moist texture, overflowing with the meat's umami flavor. When combined with the soup, it was incredibly delicious! The chewy texture of menma and the refreshing bitterness and crunchy texture of the wide-cut chopped green onions added a nice touch, making it really good! I finished it in no time and was completely satisfied! It was my first visit, but I found myself immersed in the lingering taste of the nostalgic pork clear soup. I was extremely pleased and satisfied! Thank you for the delicious meal!

I came for lunch on Saturday, July 11, 2020. This is my second time. The first time was so delicious that I came twice a week. Today, I ordered the Char Siu Ramen. It was incredibly delicious and I am extremely satisfied and happy. The Char Siu, soup, and noodles were the best. Thank you for the meal. I will go again. I will enjoy all the ingredients in this world with gratitude. I'm calling for delicious food♪ The more I eat, the more power overflows♪

I came for lunch on July 9, 2020, Thursday. I ordered ramen and fried rice. It was my first time here. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is lovely. The balance of soup, green onions, and noodles is excellent, and it's incredibly delicious. I am extremely satisfied and feeling very happy. The soup is so good that I want to drown in it. Ah, it's so delicious that it's mammothly good. Thank you for the meal. I will definitely come back. I will eat with gratitude for all the ingredients in this world. I'm calling for delicious food♪ The more I eat, the more power overflows♪

I was driving around Kyoto and happened to come across a ramen shop where I decided to stop by. The shop had a small parking lot next to it with space for a few cars. The ramen was incredibly delicious, and I felt very happy. I would love to go back again. (I would have trouble finding it without a map)

I had been curious about this restaurant for a while. When I passed by the open entrance on my way to shopping and saw no customers inside, I decided to take the opportunity and visit the restaurant. The interior had a long counter seat with good ventilation near the entrance. Looking at the menu, they offered a simple selection of ramen and fried rice. I decided to try the Char Siu Ramen (900 yen) this time. The Char Siu Ramen had a slightly oily surface with a slightly cloudy soy sauce broth. It was topped with roughly chopped green onions, bamboo shoots, and plenty of char siu. When I tasted the soup with a spoon, I could feel the rich umami of animal-based broth. The old-fashioned clear pork bone soup had a gentle flavor without the typical strong saltiness of this type. The slightly soft medium-thin straight noodles absorbed the flavor of the soup as time passed. The thinly sliced char siu had a moderate amount of fat and each bite was full of meaty flavor. The chopped green onions added a bit of spiciness. Despite the low saltiness, the ramen was very delicious with the umami and richness of the pork bone. Next time, I would like to ask for firmer noodles to suit my preference.

Before entering the shop, an elderly couple came out, and even after entering, some old men who seemed like regulars arrived and chatted with the owner. The shop has a nostalgic Showa era atmosphere that is loved by the locals. I ordered a ramen and it came with slices of roast pork, bamboo shoots, and green onions. It belongs to the "Asahi (Akira) style" of ramen, with a slightly stronger pork bone flavor compared to the famous "Honke Daiichi Asahi Takabashi Honten" shop. The soup is similar in color and the noodles are cooked just right. The finely chopped green onions, although a small amount, add a unique flavor and complement the ramen well. The roast pork has a delicious umami sweetness typical of pork. I wonder if they also serve "Yakibuta" as a side dish? I enjoyed the crispy texture of the bamboo shoots with a hint of sesame oil flavor. Overall, it was a satisfying meal!

Today, I came here. In the Reiwa era, I started exploring Kyoto slowly on holidays and such. According to reviews, this place seems to be a long-established shop. I arrived around 1:30 pm. There were 2 customers before me and no customers after me. The interior of the shop, full of a popular feeling like the exterior, has a kitchen on the left side and a red, deformed counter with about 15 seats along it. Huh? The second generation?! I had imagined it was probably an old man with a weathered look, but there was a bit of a gap between that and the shop. It is likely run by a couple in their 40s. The menu consists of "ramen" with different toppings and quantities of chashu, wonton, and menma. There are also set meals with rice, pickles, and salad, yakimeshi, ramen toppings served as a side dish, alcohol, and more. The wonton ramen caught my attention, as the chashu seemed to be delicious. The soup, slightly cloudy and white, is a soy sauce-flavored tonkotsu base. It has a gentle umami taste of animal ingredients followed by a fragrant soy sauce flavor that smoothly enters with each sip, making it easy to drink and refreshing, yet deep and satisfying. The noodles are extremely thin straight noodles with a square cross-section. They are slightly soft, served with a flat sieve and chopsticks, but they are supple, have good interaction with the soup, and have a smooth and light texture. The toppings include chashu with a good balance of lean and fatty meat, 3 slices of hand-cut chashu with a chewy and mochi-like texture, 5 handmade wontons with a firm skin and packed with meat, finely cut green onions with a crunchy texture and aroma, and soft and thin menma. Despite looking plain, the quality of each topping is exceptionally high, providing satisfaction with every bite. I finished the meal while savoring the flavors. The generous amount of noodles and abundant toppings left me feeling full. The overall balance was exquisite, giving an impression of something that would lift your spirits. It might have been even better with grated garlic from the table. Oh, there are still hidden gem restaurants out there. The seemingly nonchalant owner had a humble and friendly demeanor. Delicious! Thank you for the meal. Personal note: Accessibility for wheelchairs is average, Western-style toilets are available, and there is parking space for 2 cars next to the shop (see photo).

Visited around 11:40 am on Saturday, December 22, 2018. There were 5 customers already seated and 3 more arrived later, almost filling up the place. I ordered the regular spicy ramen. While everyone else was eating fried rice, I stick to my rule of only eating ramen at ramen shops! The soup was a soy sauce pork bone base, rich and slightly on the salty side. The noodles were firm, even for an old ramen shop in Kyoto. Overall, the flavors were strong and the dish was on the salty side.

I accidentally sped over here during my lunch break. It's my first time here. I ordered a small ramen only. It's my second lunch, so I don't need a lot. The size is just right for me. It's piping hot and delicious! The noodles are thin and cooked just right, not too soft. I prefer them a bit firmer. The noodles and soup go well together. The soup is a rich pork soy sauce base, maybe with some chicken as well. It has a velvety texture with no visible steam but it's very hot. The chashu pork is traditional but flavorful. The standout ingredient is the green onions. Their crunchy texture complements the soup perfectly. I heard that this place used to be near Toji Temple and was known for its "Daifuku Ramen" back in the day. I'm sure there are fans of that old ramen who would appreciate this one. I wonder how many people who remember the taste of "Daifuku Ramen" would find this ramen nostalgic.

Add 100 yen for extra green onions!
