This time, I visited "Ramen Yokozuna Yoshioin Honten" in Minami-ku, Kyoto City. This is my first post, but it's about my 5th visit. I was surprised to see that the store has been renovated and now looks like a modern ramen shop. I used to like the old style, but I also like this new style. I ordered: 1. Ramen (regular) for 690 yen, 2. Chashu mayonnaise rice bowl for 220 yen. The ramen still tasted delicious despite the renovation. The self-service green onions were a nice touch! I added some garlic halfway through and enjoyed changing the flavor before finishing my meal. They also accepted cashless payment. Thank you for the meal.

It was midnight on a weekday, yet the main branch was quite busy. I was craving ramen so I was drawn to the bright lights of the sign like a summer insect. Yoko, the only ramen shop open at this hour, was my only choice. I heard they had renovated recently, so I visited after a few years. The interior was spacious, with a counter overlooking the kitchen. The menu was similar to before, so I ordered my usual ramen and some side dishes like grilled pork and bean sprouts, along with a beer. When I ordered the beer, they even gave me some bamboo shoots as a service. The food came quickly, and the staff's energetic and efficient movements were impressive. I enjoyed the nostalgic flavors and slept soundly that night.

This is a personal story, but the standard for what is known as Kyoto ramen can be found at "Ramen Yokozuna." Kyoto, which has been called the holy land of ramen, is filled with ramen shops, both individual and chain stores, but among them, this taste is what I crave every few months. I heard that the main store of "Ramen Yokozuna" has opened in a new building, so I went there. I entered the store right away. The previous store didn't have that old-fashioned feel, but as expected of a newly built store, all the stores that have opened since the COVID-19 pandemic have wide spacing between seats, creating a sense of openness. The ramen is the usual size! And today, I got the "spicy gyoza" combination. Yes, this is it, the usual taste. And as always, the free extra green onions and garlic chili pepper for flavor variation are much appreciated. Delicious! Including the green onions and garlic chili pepper, this is truly "Ramen Yokozuna." The regular ramen is priced at 690 yen including tax (as of August 2023), which is kept reasonably low, which I appreciate. Thank you for the meal. I will visit again.

The renovated Yokozuna Honten has become beautiful! It has a stylish and bright image. The thin noodles are delicious as always! I prefer the noodles to be firm. The iron plate fried rice is tasty, especially when you add eggs later to your liking. Thank you for the delicious meal! ♡

I went to the Yokozuna Honten on Route 171 because I ran out of garlic chili paste that I like to add to my favorite Marutai instant noodles and cup noodles. They sell the garlic chili paste for takeout at 150 yen per pack. Adding this to instant noodles completely changes the flavor. It tastes even better with some green onions on top, so it's a must-have item in my fridge. However, when I went there at night, the main store was dark. I was disappointed, but as I was about to pass by, I noticed that the parking lot was full and there were lights in the back. I circled back and parked my car in the parking lot. To my surprise, there was a new store at the back of the main store. It seemed to have opened just yesterday or today, with decorations lining up outside. The new store was shiny and spacious, with a layout that included individual seating in the center surrounded by tables. I chose a table where I could see the whole store. I ordered vegetable ramen, gyoza, small rice, and kimchi. The new staff member, let's call him W, seemed inexperienced or unsure whether he was a new employee, a part-timer, or a full-time employee. He struggled with the order input, spoke softly, and took a long time, making me doubt if he was familiar with my usual order. The older staff member had to step in to help. The ramen tasted as good as always, but the service was slow due to W's struggles at the register. After a long wait, I finally paid for my meal, but I completely forgot to pick up the garlic chili paste I had ordered to take home. The staff seemed disorganized, with most of them chatting in the kitchen instead of attending to customers. It felt like they were unprepared for the opening of the new store. Despite the disappointing experience, I received a 100 yen discount coupon for gyoza at the end. It used to be a booklet of 10 free coupons, but maybe they changed it because too many people were selling them online. Overall, it was a frustrating late-night meal experience at the newly renovated main store.

I used to occasionally visit the main branch of Ramen Yokozuna, and on this day, it happened to be the reopening day after renovation. Moreover, I was lucky to enter right after the opening, so the inside of the restaurant was sparkling clean! In Kyoto, there are two factions, Tenichi and Yokozuna, but I am definitely a Yokozuna supporter! I am happy with the unlimited green onion topping. The taste is consistently delicious. As I was leaving, I also received the flowers that were displayed for the opening. Thank you very much~

I went to the popular Yokozuna ramen and gyoza restaurant. We waited for one group and then entered right away. I had ramen with seasoned egg, and the noodles were a bit soft that day. The gyoza was delicious and piping hot. Next to the restaurant, it seemed like they were preparing the Yokozuna in a separate building.

This is an old ramen shop located in Yoshijingu, Minami Ward, Kyoto City. The store has been renovated multiple times and looks very beautiful, located on Route 171 towards Muko City and Osaka. It is just before crossing Kuse Bridge from Kyoto City. Their tonkotsu ramen is easy to eat without any unpleasant smell. You can request the amount of green onions and the richness of the soup. The staff inside the store is young and energetic, making the atmosphere lively. They also offer various set meals, gyoza, and karaage, with a rich menu selection. The chili miso paste provided at the seats goes well with the ramen.

When it comes to Ramen Yokozuna, the image that comes to mind is a large box-shaped store along the national highway. I had never been to the main store before, so I took the opportunity this time to visit. The atmosphere is indeed nice, but the menu is not particularly different. I was looking for a traditional ramen with a bit of a punch, and adding service negi (green onions), karashi ninniku (spicy garlic), and ramen soup really made it delicious. The straight noodles with a hint of pork aroma paired well with the negi and karashi ninniku. The main store is also similar in this aspect, and the balance is very good. Thank you for the meal.

When I went to Kyoto, the ramen I wanted to eat was the Yokozuna ramen with miso pork bone soup and unlimited green onions! I went there after a long time! This time I got the extra-large size again! After finishing the noodles, I sprinkle some red powder, like shichimi, as a flavor change, and almost drink up the soup too!笑

After finishing my business at Saikokuji Temple, my friend requested to eat at Yokozuna Ramen. Since we were in Kyoto, we decided to go to the main branch in Yoshijin. I have been eating there for over 30 years, but I had never been to the main branch, so we decided to stop by. There were plenty of parking lots around the shop, and they were also rebuilding a new store. It was lunchtime, so there were a few groups waiting, but we managed to enter smoothly. We ordered the Chashu Ramen with light soy sauce and slightly soft straight noodles. The thinly sliced chashu was generous, and we mixed it well with the noodles. We added leeks for extra flavor and enjoyed our meal. The restaurant was constantly busy with customers coming in. The interior was still clean, but they were constructing a new shop at the back. I'm not sure if they will have double operations or close this one, but they are working hard. Thank you for the meal. (Visited for the first time on 05/14/2023, total 80 bowls)

Yokozuna Ramen has been around since the end of the Showa era. It started with a store along the national highway, the Kuyama store on Route 1. Then came the Yoshikyo-in main store, and the Minami Inter store. With a love for ramen bubbling inside even in the middle of the night, and with the store open until 5 a.m., it was convenient to just drive a little to get there. Over time, more stores have popped up in the city center, such as Kawaramachi Sanjo, Hankyu Katsura Station, and Gaidaimae, making it easily accessible by foot. I never thought I would continue going for so long, but the taste suits me, the option to add as much green onion as I want, the ability to adjust the flavor to my liking with garlic and chili pepper, the quick service, and the clean and hygienic kitchen that is visible from anywhere... that's what keeps me coming back. Now, during the consecutive holidays in the middle of the night, I arrived at the main store. Since it was 2 a.m., it was not crowded. This time, I ordered the classic pork bone soy sauce ramen with plenty of vegetables on top, a side of kimchi, and a plate of teppanyaki fried rice. Basically, a carb-loaded order with ramen and rice, hiding my guilt of eating too many carbs by choosing the vegetable ramen. I added a mountain of green onions to the ramen as it arrived almost simultaneously. Then I scooped a spoonful of garlic and chili pepper into the bowl, mixed it with chopsticks, tasted a spoonful, and thought, "Ah, the usual taste." Next, a staff member placed a sauce-filled raw egg in front of me, asking, "Do you know how to eat this?" I mixed it with the fried rice, and as the egg danced on top, I mixed it in. With every bite, I felt the deliciousness. Adding kimchi to the mix, my appetite was in full swing. The pork bone soy sauce soup has a hint of sweetness, so I added the garlic and chili pepper to make it spicy, my way. The taste is consistent, so I slurped the thin noodles, alternating between the fried rice, kimchi, and noodles. Finishing with the vegetables, I left feeling fully satisfied. After the meal, I usually take home two packs of garlic and chili pepper and kimchi about once a month. The Yokozuna Ramen frozen food, which doesn't require water, is always in my fridge. Normally, I make Marutai ramen and add a mountain of green onions and garlic and chili pepper to achieve a decent flavor. So, the garlic and chili pepper have become essential condiments for home use, and I made sure to buy them again on this day. Thank you for the meal.

I went to eat there for the first time in about 20 years. First, I tried their basic ramen. It looked rich at first glance, but it was actually light and really delicious. I even ended up drinking all the soup! The thin noodles were very pleasant to eat and highly praised. The chashu was also moist and very tasty! Next, the spicy gyoza was also delicious! Lastly, the fact that the prices are low is great!

It has been many years since I last had ramen from this famous restaurant. Despite the current situation, I was really happy that the green onions were free. I usually don't change the flavor, but I can't resist adding extra green onions and pouring the ramen sauce on top. The limited pork belly ramen gave me all the energy I needed for the weekend! (ヽ´ω`)

It's amazing that they are open until 5 am. The presentation of the ramen is a bit sloppy, haha. I asked if they could reheat it because the raw green onions were too spicy, but unfortunately they couldn't. It's a shame. The limited-time seafood pork bone ramen with special curly noodles was good. The thick noodles were nice. But the job listing for a yokozuna is surprisingly high. Shocking.

It's lively and nice. The seats near the entrance can be a bit chilly, but the time from ordering to serving is just right, making it a comfortable place to eat. The rich soup with plenty of green onions is perfect for cold days. Thank you for the meal.

In the middle of the night, I snuck out of my parents' house with my nephew to eat ramen. Even though we had already eaten plenty of New Year's dishes, we were craving ramen. We had to go for it, even though it was 10:30 PM. It had been a few years, but the ramen was still delicious. I could add as much green onion as I wanted. My nephew had a ramen with a flavored egg. The chashu pork was a bit less than before. It turned out to be a fun night on New Year's.

This time, when I felt like eating some green onions, I visited the main branch of the sumo wrestler-owned ramen shop that I always go to. I arrived around 2 PM, so there was only one other customer and I was able to get in easily. This time, I ordered a regular ramen. After about 5 minutes of waiting, the dish arrived. The soup was a rich soy pork bone broth, but it was a bit mild and delicious! The noodles were thin straight noodles. The crunchy bean sprouts were also good! The highlight of this shop is the ability to make a green onion soup? Putting a large amount of green onions provided in the soup and eating it with a spoon is incredibly delicious! Be careful not to put too many at once, as the soup may cool down. Whenever I feel like eating green onions, I always come here! Thank you for the meal!

Nowadays, ramen shops can be found everywhere in the country. I used to go to the original shop even before it was renovated. In the past, I felt that the original shop was the most delicious, but now it seems that they all offer the same taste. It's a reliable shop that always provides the same taste no matter where you go. Even in this day and age, it's nice to have the option of unlimited green onions. It's a grateful shop where you can enjoy delicious ramen anytime, anywhere.

This is a pioneer ramen shop in Kansai's roadside ramen chain. This time, we visited the original store in Kichijoin with my family of three and ordered the following: Miso Tonkotsu Ramen - 790 yenRamen + Teppan Fried Rice - 680 yen + 290 yenKids Ramen - 280 yen The Yokozuna ramen is known for its tonkotsu shoyu with plenty of green onions, but I opted for the limited-time miso tonkotsu. My wife wanted to try the fried rice, so we shared the teppan fried rice as a family. The kids' ramen comes with the option of a toy or ice cream instead of corn. Our daughter, being a big eater, of course chose ice cream. The miso tonkotsu ramen was a hit. It had plenty of vegetables in a miso tonkotsu broth, and the special medium noodles were delicious. They added green onions halfway through, which was a nice touch. The teppan fried rice was also delicious, with the system of mixing in a raw egg yourself. It was a great meal at the original Yokozuna store that I've been visiting since junior high.
