This is a famous restaurant that doesn't appear in the media, right? Looking at the pictures got me excited, haha. So, it's a given to visit at 9 in the morning. I misread and arrived two and a half hours early. The second person arrived around 10:10, and from around 10:50, more and more cars started coming in. I entered at 11:20 and was seated at 11:30, so it's great that you can start eating as soon as they open. The super tsukemen is 1,100 yen with an additional 350 yen for chashu topping, which is impressive. The lineup of the meat is excellent. The noodles are thick but have a softness to them, with a good wheat fragrance that pairs amazingly with the Western-style pork bone dipping sauce. With this much meat, you can balance your meal by alternating between slurping the noodles and eating a piece of meat. Ah, it was delicious!

Today, I had work in this area, so it's been a few years since I visited this place with my friend. As usual, there was a long line. We arrived in the early afternoon, so we had to wait for about 10 people ahead of us. Everyone cooperated, and we smoothly got seated. Before sitting down, the wife took our orders, and in just a few minutes after seating, our bowls arrived. The Thick and Rich Salt Chashu Ramen (extra-large) had beautiful slices of meat hiding the noodles. I love the rare chashu style, with black pepper sprinkled on the outer edges. The meat was delicious! The noodles were delicious! The noodles had a unique chewiness to them. The broth was thick and rich, and delicious! Adding a little bit of pepper oil midway through (as indicated) gave it a nice spicy kick and improved the flavor. I'm satisfied. It's understandable why everyone lines up, but if possible, I'd like to get in and eat smoothly.

In the mountains of Kyoto, there is a restaurant that is hard to reach without a car. Their tantanmen is the most popular item, limited to 20 servings per day! They open at 11:30, so I arrived at 11:20 thinking I might make it in time. But to my surprise, even though there was no event, there were already 40 people lined up. I was worried if I could still have the tantanmen, but I managed to order the sold-out cloudy and creamy pork chashu. The seafood and creamy pork bone soup was quite delicious, and the highlight was definitely the chashu. Is it smoked? This thin chashu was outstandingly tasty! A must-visit restaurant for chashu lovers. Thank you for the meal! ❤️

I've been wanting to go here for a while and finally visited! Looking for super tsukemen...lol Arrived at 11:25. Already over 20 people waiting... Tsukemen sold out. I really underestimated it...lol Waited for about an hour and finally got in! There are also about 10 people waiting inside the restaurant. This time, I ordered the rich and salty chashu ramen for 1200 yen! The surprisingly light and rich soup with flat and chewy thick noodles was personally the best! The chashu also had a good bite and is recommended! I also recommend adding pepper oil for a change in flavor! Be careful not to add too much. It really takes over all the flavors...lol Next time, I want to try the super tsukemen... ~~~~ Check out their TikTok and Instagram accounts with over 56,000 followers! ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓ https://instagram.com/ramen19960103?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y

Third visit. It's been about 5 years since I last came here. The road in front of the restaurant is under construction, so the entrance is a bit complicated now. Also, there seems to be less waiting time inside the restaurant compared to before. We waited for less than an hour to get in. The rich salt ramen! The foam-based soup is still delicious as ever. Even though I prefer clear broth, I found the soup to be very agreeable. When I added extra bamboo shoots as a topping, it was a huge portion (lol). The noodles were firm, the rare chashu was perfect, and it was delicious!!

I arrived a little after 12:30 pm on a holiday. I lined up as the 5th person in the outdoor waiting line. It was very hot, so the mist installed above the outdoor waiting line was much appreciated. I thought the wait would be longer, but there were about 10 people waiting inside the restaurant, so it ended up taking around 30 minutes until I got my food. The tonkotsu soup was rich, but still refreshing and delicious. Unfortunately, they were sold out of rice.

It's been scorching hot with a temperature of 36 degrees every day, but I went there (^^) Recommended by a friend, "Ore no Ramen-san." It was around 1:20 PM towards the end of lunchtime. About 10 people were waiting inside the restaurant. The owner, who I'll refer to as "Saiyan" (sorry for the rude way of saying it, I'm sorry), and what seemed to be his wife, were managing the restaurant with such wonderful teamwork. There were no unnecessary movements. I wish you could see this in action. Because there were no unnecessary movements, waiting here was also stress-free. I was impressed throughout. Unfortunately, the rice was sold out so I couldn't try it. The rice must be delicious. I definitely want to have a rematch with their ramen (^^).

I was able to wake up early! Went to "Ore no Ramen Appare-ya" on Saturday, July 8, 2023. It was my first visit since last November. Located in Joyo City, "Ore no Ramen Appare-ya". Today, as always, I wanted to order their limited 20 servings dish, so I woke up early. Arrived at 9:26. Queue. Ordered. Seated at 11:22. Tsukemen arrived at 11:25. Paid at 11:39. Super Tsukemen XL 1100 yen, Char Siu 350 yen, Flavored Egg 100 yen. Total 1550 yen. I've been wanting to visit again for a while, and today was a good day with good timing, so I could visit. Enjoyed the routine of eating the noodles plain. The homemade thick noodles are irresistibly delicious. The milky tonkotsu and seafood salt dipping soup is consistently tasty. Dip and slurp earnestly. The Char Siu is generously served, like blooming petals, a luxurious treat. The amount of Char Siu is overwhelming, so I alternate between eating noodles and Char Siu. Also, the bamboo shoots and flavored egg are delightful for flavor variation. Finished with soup broth at the end, completely satisfied. My stomach is full! Next time, I'd like to try ordering two portions and leave a little room in my stomach. Thank you for the meal. #OreNoRamenAppareYa #AppareYa #JoyoCity

Among all the ramen I've ever had, this was the most delicious one in my personal life! Super Tsukemen for 1100 yen, with a huge portion of 450g noodles. This is a tonkotsu and seafood-based tsukemen. The homemade flat and medium-thick noodles have a transparent sheen and a chewy elasticity, combined with the rich and extremely delicious dipping soup that permeates through. And above all, my favorite lean char siu meat ^_^ Everything has reached the ideal level, making it the ultimate tsukemen. I arrived just in time as the 10th person in line 90 minutes before opening. It was worth coming for a cycling trip with friends after leaving the lab on a Saturday! I followed the owner's recommended way of eating, and I could feel their love for tsukemen. Please try it once. Even the rice cooker from the National era has a good sense and is the best proof that they value their tools!

Despite being located in a not-so-convenient area and having only counter seats, there was already a long line before opening. The tsukemen was sold out, but the ramen itself had a tsukemen-like taste. It was delicious, but perhaps not as impressive as expected.

On this day, I made a special visit to "Applause" after about two months. However, during this time, the restaurant had undergone its biggest change since its establishment. It was not something that happened inside the restaurant, but rather the road in front of the restaurant had been bypassed, causing a significant change in the traffic flow for those arriving by car. Inside the restaurant, the cleanliness was as impeccable as ever, and the divine operation of Sendosan and Junchan was still going strong. There didn't seem to be any particular changes in the menu from two months ago. On this day, we lined up before the opening, but just before opening time, all the waiting customers were ushered inside, and Junchan began taking orders one after another as usual. Most of the customers in front and behind me ordered the "Super Tsukemen" with extra meat. As a result, one of the four deep bowls of rare chashu that had been prepared in advance was almost depleted before opening time. Impressive. And the "Murky Thick Salt Ramen" that I ordered in a large portion was ready exactly at 11:30 AM, the nominal opening time. It's amazing that you can start eating right at opening time. As always, impressive. And for some reason, I was particularly happy to see the bamboo shoots in my bowl that day. Still, with perfect toppings, chewy thick noodles, and a rich pork bone and seafood salt soup in perfect balance. When you have the chance, you come to eat right away. That's what it boils down to. By the way, the customers on both sides of me who ordered the Super Tsukemen with extra meat, if you're going to order a limited quantity tsukemen with extra meat, maybe you should consider not looking at manga on your smartphone while eating. (I didn't say anything, but I did feel like saying something. However, I didn't want to start an argument over something trivial, so I stayed silent, being a small-minded person.) By the way, I noticed that they had somehow repainted the logo on the napkins, but that's probably not a big change. The biggest change is still the road in front of the restaurant. This change would probably be easier to understand in a video, so this time I used a dashcam video to create a YouTube video. I'm not planning to become a YouTuber or anything, it's just a practice.

To "Ore no Ramen Appare-ya" in Joyo City, Kyoto Prefecture. I had been simulating the trip for a while (lol). Took the Tozai Line from Shin-Fukushima Station to Kyotanabe. Departed just before 8 am (too early lol) and walked to Nittanabe, then transferred to a bus at the bus pool. First stop was "Kyotanabe," simulation oversight (silly lol). Pressed the "getting off" button at Myojingahara, but the driver ignored it!! Got off at the next stop and asked the driver, who said "didn't know." I'll make a complaint call! (I won't lol) Somehow ended up on a mountain road, with a long stretch between stops (lol) turned out to be a good pre-meal exercise (silly positive). Simulation oversight of the driver skipping bus stops (lol) Still arrived at the restaurant 2 hours early! A bit too early (bitter smile) Still couldn't get the pole position, simulation oversight (lol) No, it's the driver's fault for being absent-minded! (lol) Excited to continue visiting the restaurant. First rotation, so as planned. Just like the simulation!! They guide you inside early. Orders are taken in order. I chose the "Kokumaro Shio Ramen." Quiet atmosphere. Watching the master's arrangements with bated breath. Ramen served. Brown slightly foamy soup, not too gamey but flavorful. The saltiness is mild too. A gentle taste. (That's why it's called Kokumaro) The noodles are semi-transparent flat wave noodles. These are delicious too. Rare chashu, half-cooked seasoned egg, thick pork belly. The toppings are perfect too. I enjoyed it very much. If I had eaten quickly, I would have caught the 11:37 bus back, one per hour! Completely unexpected, but super lucky! Can't miss this chance! Thanks to them for opening a little earlier. Thank you for the meal!

This is a popular ramen shop among locals! It seems there is always a long line. I think it's a delicious place for those who like rich flavors ✨ You can get a bowl full of chashu as a topping! I believe it's a restaurant worth visiting at least once.

On May 4th (Thursday) during Golden Week, I made a daring trip on my scooter to "Ore no Ramen Appare-ya" restaurant. The weather was nice, so instead of taking Route 24, I chose to ride along the Uji River Line from Uji city towards Ten-sei Dam. The scenery of the green slopes on both sides of the river and the blue water was soothing to the eyes, making this route a great choice. Along the way towards Uji-Tawara, I was surprised to see what seemed to be the new Meishin Expressway under construction with large bridge pillars. It used to be a charming rural town nestled in the mountains, so the change was unexpected. The restaurant opens at 11:30, but it's common for them to open early, so I arrived at 9:45. As expected, there were already quite a few customers waiting, and I was the ninth in line. There are two benches, each seating around 7-8 people, so those arriving later had to stand. Luckily, I didn't need to use the folding chair I brought. The bench area faces east, so it gets direct sunlight in the morning. It's advisable to take precautions against sun exposure, especially in summer. The hoodie I wore as a windbreaker for my scooter came in handy. Due to the restaurant's location, there is ample parking for both cars and bikes. However, by 11 am, the parking lot was full, and some people had to give up and leave. I noticed that some bikers could have parked more considerately to make space for 1-2 cars. On the other hand, I appreciated that despite the lot being full, no one parked in the designated disabled spots, showing good manners. I saw license plates from Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe, Shiga, as well as Mie and Aichi prefectures. The waiting times today were as follows: 9:45 - 10 people 10:15 - 16 people 10:45 - 32 people 11:12 - 42 people Around 10:30, more people started arriving, and by 11:12, I was seated and ready to order. The restaurant has 16 seats, and I managed to get in on the first round. Following others' orders and considering the limited menu, I decided to order the "Super Tsukemen: 1100 yen" with extra "Chashu: 350 yen" and "Menma: 200 yen." I upgraded the noodle portion to large (300g) since toppings were added (same price for extra-large: 450g). Although the menu didn't mention extra chashu, I followed suit after seeing others order it. The Super Tsukemen was limited to 20 servings, and out of the first 16 customers, 15 ordered it. Considering this, it seemed like chances of getting it in the later rounds might be slim. The extra chashu and menma served in the third round were generous for their prices, and the dish also included kaiware and egg. The noodles had a strong aroma and tasted delicious even on their own. Dipping them into the broth, I found the sauce not too thick, allowing it to coat the noodles nicely. The chashu added a savory touch, balancing the flavors perfectly. The well-prepared menma added a nice accent to the dish. As I progressed through the meal, I felt the broth thinning out slightly, but using the ladle to sip a bit more sauce helped adjust the flavor. I finished the 300g of noodles quickly and was glad I didn't opt for the 450g portion due to the extra toppings. The timing for receiving the soup to mix with the remaining broth was perfect, and the staff efficiently managed the 16-seat restaurant. Upon leaving, there were around 35 people waiting. Since I had waited for about an hour and a half before being seated, the total waiting time was quite long. PS: I observed and wrote this lengthy review during the wait time.

I arrived at the restaurant on Wednesday, May 3, 2023, at 10:10 AM. The parking lot can accommodate about 30 cars. I joined a line of 7 people waiting outside 80 minutes before the opening. We were allowed in around 11:10 AM due to an early opening. Once inside, a lady guided us and handed us the menu. Orders were placed verbally. I managed to get one of the 20 daily servings of the Super Tsukemen, priced at 1100 yen for a medium size of 300g, with an additional 150 yen for seasoned rice. The noodle portion can be small (150g), medium (300g), or extra-large (450g) at the same price, with a complimentary topping for the small size. This place is said to be the best in Kyoto. The dipping broth is a lightly salted pork and seafood-based broth, which pairs well with the smooth noodles. The seasoned rice is lightly flavored with ketchup and can be eaten on its own or with the soup poured over it. The extra broth is served by the lady in charge, ensuring a pleasant experience. The service, possibly run by a couple, is polite, even in the midst of long queues in the mountains. Thank you for the delicious meal!
