I learned that alternating between eating at convenience stores and ramen shops will make you fat. So, I walked from Kyoto Station saying "oink oink" the whole way. It was far. Like, really far. My bags were heavy, it was hot, it was raining, and I was covered in sweat. I felt like giving up multiple times, but the rhythmic sound of the high heels and the swaying hips of the woman walking in front of me gave me the motivation to keep going. When I finally reached the shop, the automatic door opened at the perfect timing and a lovely smiling lady welcomed me. Truly, Kyoto is a city of hospitality. There didn't seem to be any hidden options. I ordered the tsukemen from the regular menu and it arrived quickly, probably because they were about to close. It looked like ground buckwheat noodles. The texture was like ground buckwheat noodles. The taste was a gentle Kyoto style, I think? Not bad. Actually, it was more than good. It was outstanding. If Rokurinsha is like Satomi's perfect body, then this place is like Takigawa Kristel's cool gaze. It's a tsukemen that would appeal to adults, not just tired old men. The only disappointment was that the soup was around 45°C. Despite being a pig with a sensitive tongue and sweating like crazy, it didn't bother me much, but it felt a bit off that the perfect body was so indifferent. Maybe it's fine because it's Kristel. Encouraged by the tsukemen Kristel, I decided to visit the shop in Kitashinchi the next day. The appearance was the same, but the soup was around 75°C. This temperature really brings out the dynamism in the noodles. When you grab them, they spin around and slide smoothly down your throat. Yes, this is the tsukemen Hotaru. The Red Sound Noodles Hotaru. It's entwined with Paul. Uh oh, I want to go to Apollo Building...

Visited the popular "Men-sho Takamatsu Honten" in Kyoto, Shijo Karasuma. The restaurant is known for its whole grain noodles ground with a stone mill. The traditional Kyoto-style exterior gives a calm and relaxed atmosphere. Upon entering, there was a pleasant aroma of broth in the air. I ordered the dipping noodles (chicken and seafood) regular size for 890 yen. First, I tried the noodles alone. Wow, these are delicious! The thin noodles have a good firmness to them. The flavor gives the sensation of eating soba noodles. Then, the dipping broth. This was also very tasty! The umami of the seafood and chicken was well pronounced, and the broth had just the right level of richness. I also enjoyed adding sudachi and black pepper for extra flavor. When I arrived just 5 minutes before the 11 am opening on a Sunday, there was no line and I was able to get a seat, but soon after, the restaurant quickly filled up with customers.

It was around 1:00 pm on a regular day, but I was able to get in without waiting in line. I ordered it with a seasoned egg topping. The thin noodles, which had a whole wheat texture, were very delicious as they were coated in the soup! I don't eat ramen or tsukemen often, so I'm not very familiar with them, but I thought the flavors were well-balanced!

After a long time, I visited Kyoto for some errands and decided to try a nearby ramen shop. I arrived right at opening time and was lucky to be seated on the first round. I ordered the tsukemen (dipping noodles) with chicken and fish broth, topped with everything. I usually think of tsukemen as having thick noodles, but the thin whole wheat noodles here were easy to eat and matched well with the soup - delicious! I enjoyed changing the flavors by adding sudachi (citrus fruit) and black shichimi pepper one by one. I regret not trying the duck rice bowl to avoid overeating. I will definitely visit again.

One of my go-to ramen shops, which I have visited the most for tsukemen. I usually have their standard tsukemen, but this time I decided to try their seasonal limited edition "Duck Dashi Ramen" on a whim. The soup is cold because it's summer, and at first glance, it looks like a clear soy sauce base, so I expected it to be light. However, when I tasted the soup, I was surprised by the rich flavor of duck spreading in my mouth. The duck meat topping was cooked perfectly, with a moist texture and a delicious aroma and flavor with each bite. The noodles were the same as their standard tsukemen, made with whole grain flour from Nagano prefecture, providing a unique texture similar to soba. This limited edition ramen is available until this weekend (September 11), so if you're interested, be sure to try it! If you follow Takamatsu's X (formerly Twitter) account and show it, you can receive a seasoned egg as a gift (5th photo). Thank you as always. #Thank you #KyotoGourmet #KyotoDinner #KyotoLunch #KyotoRamen #KyotoSightseeing #KansaiRamen #Let'sGoToKyoto #RamenLovers #Takamatsu #KyotoRamen #Noodlestagram #RamenLover #VisitKyoto #ConnectingWithPhotographyLovers #KyotoRamenClub #KyotoInstagram #KyotoStyle #SpreadingTheExcitementForKyoto #KyotoRamenTour #Ramen #EatingAndWalkingInKyoto #KyotoGourmetTour #RamenInstagrammer #RamenClub #NoodleActivity #KyotoFood #KyotoGourmetTrip

Delicious. The noodles are tasty too. The dipping sauce is also delicious. You can also change the taste by adding ingredients like sudachi and onions, so you can enjoy it without getting tired of it. Additionally, they will reheat the dipping sauce for you multiple times. The side menu item, the grilled duck rice bowl, was around 300 yen and was tender and delicious.

I visited a ramen shop in Kyoto, near Karasuma, for the first time! I went on a Sunday at noon and there were 3 people waiting outside! The shop had a ramen shop atmosphere with an L-shaped counter. I ordered the chicken and seafood dipping noodles! The whole grain flour noodles ground in a stone mill had a delicious aroma and were very good! I enjoyed it very much.

I went on a hiking workshop to Kyoto's Nakagyo Ward. This time, I visited Shisei Garden Hyuric Kyoto, where the site of Shisei Elementary School has been reconstructed into a hotel, library, community center, etc. Since it is located in the city, everyone was asked to visit the facilities and write their opinions on a feedback sheet. For lunch, we had plenty of options in the heart of Kyoto. I noticed tsukemen and luckily there was an available seat. I enjoyed freshly ground tsukemen, where the noodles were nicely coated in the dipping sauce. It was quite delicious. Thank you for the meal.

After finishing my errands in Kyoto around 2pm, I decided to have lunch at this restaurant. The weather was unpredictable, with rain and sudden sunshine, making it humid and sweaty. There was a line in front of the restaurant, but I only waited about 15 minutes before being seated. Today, I ordered the tsukemen (chicken and fish broth) in large size for 990 yen. It was very filling and satisfying.

I ordered the large portion of tsukemen with a topping of kabosu (although one slice is already included). There were instructions on how to eat it, so I followed them accordingly. First, I tried the noodles on their own, then dipped them in the tsukemen sauce, sprinkled kabosu on top, and added black pepper. The noodles had a refreshing texture and a nice aroma, perfect for summer. The staff was also very friendly and helpful.

Outside the shop, there was a poster for "Cold Duck Dashi Ramen." Despite the temptation to order the usual whole grain tsukemen, I resisted and pressed the panel on the ticket machine. At the 5-person counter, everyone except me was enjoying their tsukemen. I briefly questioned my choice, but as soon as I took the first sip of the ramen, all doubts vanished. The duck broth had a strong presence, coating the noodles beautifully. Cold ramen can sometimes be light and unsatisfying, but thanks to the duck fat, this one had a rich flavor. The four slices of duck meat were tender and flavorful, unlike the dry and tasteless duck meat often found in ramen. The white negi, seared negi, and grilled eggplant added a refreshing touch to the dish. I truly felt the exceptional quality of this shop.・Cold Duck Dashi Ramen (Regular) - 850 yen・Yahachi Gihachi's Rice - 120 yen

I entered the restaurant at 1:00 p.m. on a regular day and left at 1:14 p.m. The cold duck broth ramen (regular size) was limited to 850 yen and delicious. It's perfect for a hot summer day, with a cold soup that has a Japanese twist. The whole wheat noodles had a good texture and aroma. The toppings included bamboo shoots, eggplant, and seaweed, which enhanced the fragrance. I hope to enjoy another meal like this someday. Thank you for the meal.

This stylish tsukemen in Kyoto has a unique atmosphere, with noodles made from whole wheat flour. I found that it was quite different from regular noodles made from wheat flour. I wouldn't recommend it if you just want to enjoy a normal delicious tsukemen. But if you want to taste whole wheat flour, then definitely give it a try!

I passed by the front of the store before noon. Oh, I can go right now. I was drawn into the store as if by a magnet. I thought I'd try something different for a change, but once again I found myself pressing the button for tsukemen at the vending machine. The whole wheat noodles had a slightly rough texture and a wheat flavor. When dipped in the well-seasoned broth and put in my mouth, I couldn't help but exclaim, "This is it!" The rice had the usual sweetness from Yatsugatake. I tried adding some seaweed for soup-wari halfway through. It added a hint of seaweed aroma and deepened the flavor of the dipping sauce. Unfortunately, the man with high blood pressure couldn't have the soup-wari. Next to me, five young people who appeared to be European were quietly eating ramen. The guy in front had a neat way of holding his chopsticks, even using his middle finger. It was impressive, almost better than a Japanese person. By the way, this shop is located in an office district, but there are always foreign customers here.

I visited this restaurant on the day of the Gion Festival. I had to wait for about 5 groups ahead of me. The system is to buy a ticket from the machine first and then wait. When I got to my seat, the tsukemen arrived quickly. The noodles were so beautiful that I was surprised. Even without dipping them in the soup, the noodles were delicious on their own. The broth had a rich seafood flavor that paired perfectly with the beautiful noodles. I felt like I could eat endless amounts of it. The staff were polite and I would love to visit again.

Everything was delicious. The noodles were extremely tasty. I especially liked the duck ramen. The tsukemen was also delicious, with a soup that is gentler in flavor compared to Tsujita's tsukemen, but still rich and flavorful. Additionally, you can order yuba as a side dish, which is surprisingly delicious.

A popular ramen shop known for its brown noodles resembling soba and chicken & seafood broth tsukemen. While I've been to their locations in Shijo, Kawaramachi, and Kyoto Ramen Alley a few times, this was my first visit to their main shop. This summer, they have introduced a new popular menu item! Order: Chilled Duck Dashi Raamen (850 yen) Inspired by soba's duck nanban, this dish is based on Japanese dashi with added duck fat and soy sauce for flavor. The noodles are the same as their tsukemen, made with whole wheat flour from Nagano prefecture. Toppings include roasted duck and eggplant, giving it a refined soba-like taste while still maintaining a strong ramen essence.

Visited with my family. Ordered the tsukemen. The noodles were made with whole wheat flour and had a nice aroma. The atmosphere was traditional for tsukemen, but the broth had a strong Kyoto-style flavor. Added some black shichimi and aonori for extra kick. Not too heavy, could eat this tsukemen every day. Finished off with the soup wari, which was also delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I arrived before 2 pm on a regular day and was able to sit down right away, but even at this time, customers kept coming in one after another, so I could tell it's a popular place! You purchase your meal ticket at the machine and hand it to the staff. I had a light lunch since I had plans afterwards... I ordered a small portion of tsukemen with a flavored egg. The whole wheat noodles and the seafood-flavored broth went well together and were delicious ☺︎ But the best part was the egg! The slightly richly seasoned egg was amazing!! I was also happy that they provided an apron since I was wearing white clothes.

This is my third visit in three weeks. I plan to try a different menu next time, but I always end up ordering the whole wheat tsukemen each time. Today, the firm stone-ground noodles paired perfectly with the comforting dipping sauce, just as expected. I enjoyed adding minced onions, sudachi, and shichimi pepper gradually for a change in flavor. The extra rice was from Yagame Gihachi, and when I tried a piece of the char siu that sank into the soup, the sweetness of the rice slowly spread in my mouth. Ramen shops that serve delicious rice are the best. I might end up coming back here for dinner after overtime again.

I entered the restaurant as soon as it opened on Saturday and it quickly became full. I ordered the tsukemen and the niboshi ramen. The tsukemen was delicious, with the option to change the flavor, and I enjoyed it even with soup refills. The niboshi ramen had no strange smell, and I could taste the chicken flavor, making it very delicious.

I couldn't forget the whole grain texture of the flour and the balance of the soup, so I ended up revisiting the restaurant. This time, I ordered a large serving and also got a side of Kyoto-style egg over rice to be fully prepared. The kitchen staff were efficient and the service was pleasant as always. The dish arrived quickly, and the taste did not disappoint. With more noodles this time, I delayed adding the sudachi (citrus fruit) and black shichimi pepper to enjoy the plain noodles and soup combination for longer. Just like last time, the sudachi was fresh and added a nice touch to the soup. I imagine they must take great care in selecting their ingredients, even with something as small as a piece of sudachi.
