I visited the ramen shop "Ramen MUGYU VOL.1 Main Store" today because I was in Kyoto in the morning for two days in a row❗️ They open at 11 a.m., and when I arrived around 11:15 a.m., there was no line, but the inside was almost full. I ordered the "Onibara Shiro" with extra noodles and seasoned egg topping. The ramen was served in about 5 minutes. When it arrived, there were about 5 people waiting outside the shop^^; The light soy sauce and chicken broth soup was delicious, with a nostalgic flavor that reminded me of something I've tasted before. As I ate, I was reminded of the soup from "Kanza" which had a similar taste. So, it was just delicious❗️ The chashu pork slices were thin but plentiful and tasty. It was a very well-made bowl of ramen❗️❗️ Thank you for the meal ===========

I like flat noodles, and I have used Mugyu-san's restaurants, including the second branch, several times. The first branch is located a little up from the northeast corner of the Marutamachi intersection (Nishioji Marutamachi), and it is conveniently located within a 5-minute walk from JR Saga Arashiyama Line Marutamachi Station. It is a popular place, and there are often lines during the lunch rush. I like flat noodles, and the only menu item that uses flat noodles is the Nagoya Cochin oil mixed noodles. Regular thin noodles are used for ramen. This time, after a long time, I ordered the mixed noodles. I also ordered the "Kome Dive," where you add rice to the remaining ingredients and soup after finishing the noodles. It arrived in less than 10 minutes. Both regular and large portions are the same price, so I chose the large portion. The ingredients include diced chashu, finely chopped raw onions, and plenty of green onions. They are topped with chicken oil and soy sauce. The soy sauce topping is very rich, and the noodles are not rinsed with water after draining, and the soup is also hot, making it a very rich soy sauce ramen with very little soup. You are asked to mix it well as soon as it is served. The flat noodles mix well with the ingredients and soup. It really feels like pasta. It was very delicious after a while, but a bit strong. Maybe the regular portion would have been better. If you eat the ingredients normally, there will be leftovers. It is also very delicious when mixed with rice. The chashu has a strong flavor, so it naturally goes well with rice. The oil mixed noodles may be more suitable for young people. If you prefer something light, the Onibara is recommended. It has a refined taste like traditional Chinese noodles and is definitely not a hearty ramen. The meat is pork belly, but it is sliced very thinly and melts in your mouth. Most of the customers were male, with very few women, and the male customers were mostly up to their 40s. I think the ramen can also be enjoyed by older customers. The price of the oil mixed noodles this time was 880 yen, and the Kome Dive was 100 yen, for a total of 980 yen. I am satisfied with the price as well.

I've been wanting to visit this restaurant for a while now, and I finally made it. The interior is mainly counter seating, with about 10 seats in total. Although it was just the two of us, the operation wasn't smooth today, and despite the place being quite empty, we had to wait outside in the heat. They need to improve this. As for the most important part, the taste, we ordered the shio (salt) ramen and fried chicken, and they were both exquisite. The noodles were excellent, and the balance of the soup, chashu (pork slices), and onions was perfect. It's no wonder this place is popular. The fried chicken was quite oily, but delicious. Thank you for the meal.

[Ramen Mugyu VOL.1 Main Store] Located very close to JR Enmachi Station, this ramen shop offers the "Onibara Shiro" for 880 yen. The soup uses Nagoya Cochin chicken, the noodles are flat, and the homemade chashu is incredibly delicious. There seems to be a second branch in Karasuma.

For dinner tonight, I found a delicious-looking ramen shop near my husband's workplace and decided to line up out of curiosity. It was my first time at this restaurant, and after entering, I was seated at the counter where I ordered the Onibara Black ramen, fried dumplings, and the signature Mugyu Don. The ramen that arrived was beautifully presented, and I couldn't help but exclaim how delicious it looked. The soup had a rich yet light Kyoto-style sweet soy sauce base, with thinly sliced pork belly that melted in my mouth - it was very delicious. The crispy and juicy fried dumplings and the generous portion of chashu on the Mugyu Don, drizzled with sweet sauce, were also delightful. The restaurant was considerate towards women, providing small cases for tying up long hair and having a women's restroom, making it a welcoming place for solo diners. The staff were very friendly, and I look forward to visiting again. I recommend everyone to try it out. The Onibara Black (regular) was 880 yen, fried dumplings were 350 yen, and the Mugyu Don was 500 yen.

I ordered the Onibara Shiro. Anyway, the chashu is delicious. It's something I could eat forever. It doesn't taste cheap, it's well-seasoned and satisfying. If I were to be picky, I'd like the slices to be a bit thicker. However, I found the ramen soup a bit monotonous in flavor. The noodles also felt slightly soft, so I think a firmer texture would be better.

I went to "Mugyu" in the Enmachi area of Kyoto. The chicken broth made with Nagoya Cochin chicken has a perfect balance of umami and sweetness from soy sauce. The clear soup is excellent. The simple composition includes flat noodles, very thin pork slices, and chopped onions. I like how the meat is so thin that it's easy to eat with the noodles. I love this ramen so much that I think it might be the best in Kyoto if we only consider clear soup ramen. The extra egg (extra noodles with meat and sauce) comes with thin noodles, which also go well with the soup. I couldn't stop drinking the soup and finished it all.

I visited the restaurant around 8:30 PM, waited outside for about 15 minutes, purchased meal tickets for "Onibara Shiro" (880 yen) and "Koge Meshi" (200 yen) at the ticket machine, and sat at the counter seat. The bowl was served with chashu and chopped onions, and the soup shone in a golden color. The soup is a chicken clear broth made from Nagoya Cochin chicken, with a rich chicken flavor enhanced by chicken oil, and finished with a sharp saltiness from light soy sauce from Kagoshima Prefecture. The noodles are hand-kneaded flat noodles, with a firm and chewy texture that complements the soup well. The chashu is thinly sliced pork belly char siu, showcasing the flavor of the pork. The "Koge Meshi" is served in a hot black bowl with rice, chashu, and chopped green onions, giving off a savory aroma of soy sauce and enjoyed while still steaming hot. I tried adding the ramen soup to it due to its heat, and it was delicious.

It was my first visit in a while!! It was a little past 12:30, and there were about 3 people lined up in front of me, so I had to wait for about 15 minutes before being seated at a table in the back. They use a food ticket system, and you can order additional seasoned eggs with cash!! The "Onibara White" for 880 yen with a creamy seasoned egg for 100 yen and an extra seasoned egg for 100 yen were delicious! The Onibara White has onions in it, and the flavor of the soup seeps into the onions making it so tasty!! It's also great that the seasoned egg and noodle options are different!! Thank you for the meal!!

Order: Black Garlic Ramen with Melty Flavored Egg (980 yen). The black soup is attractive. Despite its appearance, the taste is quite delicate. There are almost 10 slices of thinly sliced pork belly, and it seems like you can eat this endlessly haha. Adding a flavored egg at this price is wonderful.

I came from Kobe. There's a line outside the restaurant, but lucky for us it's a popular spot. Even the next group waiting for 30 minutes hasn't moved yet. After 15 minutes, nothing has changed, and the line continues to grow. It's been an hour. Seems like a Ramen boom with many trainee staff and the manager working hard. The taste...I'm too tired to evaluate it properly. Nearby parking is cheap.

I visited this restaurant today. The "Onibara Black" ramen was 880 yen, the fried dumplings were 350 yen, and the burnt rice was 200 yen. Since the restaurant I originally planned to go to was closed, I decided to visit this nearby place that I had already checked out. The "Onibara Black" ramen had a flavorful soup that wasn't overpowering, and the pork belly was cooked just right, making it wonderfully delicious. It made me wonder if this is the style of Kyoto ramen. I've had similar flavors before. The fried dumplings were small and tasted great with a squeeze of lemon. The burnt rice was fragrant, hot, and absolutely delicious.

Today's late lunch! I'm excited for ramen after a long time! Grilled pork belly, onions, soup, and noodles together taste so good!! Haha, it's flavorful but not overwhelming! Just right for a guy's stomach! I want to try a different menu next time!

Arrived on a weekday at 13:50. No waiting. Across the road, there's a popular ramen shop called Yamazaki Men Jiro. I ordered the Onibara Shiro for 880 yen with soup on the side. The soup features a sweet soy sauce base with chicken broth, which leaves a distinctive impression with its sweetness. The onions in the toppings have a slight bitterness, adding a nice accent. They use white soy sauce for the broth. The noodles are Tae's original high-hydration, flat, curly noodles, which are soft and delicious. Personally, I prefer thicker slices of chashu. I'd like to try their chicken ramen next time since I prefer a stronger chicken broth flavor. Thank you for the meal~.

I ordered the Oni Bara Shiro ramen. It seems to be called Oni Bara because it's a combination of onion and pork belly. The soup was clear, with just chashu and onions as toppings, making it a simple ramen. The juicy, flavorful pork belly chashu was excellent, with a nice balance of richness without feeling greasy. The light soup paired well with the oily chashu. Thank you for the meal.

After watching volleyball, stopping by Ramen Mugyu with friends was really great. The noodles were delicious, but the soup was even more amazing. It's refreshing yet deeply flavorful. Truly a trinity! The noodles, chashu, and soup all perfectly complement each other. It was lucky that there wasn't much of a line, but this is definitely a recommended place. It was a very satisfying experience, I'll definitely go again!

I visited just before 6 p.m. on a Sunday after finishing work errands. Since there was a long line during lunchtime, I felt lucky and was able to enter quickly. I visited without any prior research and chose the rich chicken soba. It had a delicious twist on the traditional ramen flavor. It was unexpected but enjoyable.

Arrived at the restaurant around 10:30. There were two people waiting in line. Today, I ordered the Onibara Kuro (black) in large size, and my wife ordered the Shiobara (white) in regular size with burnt rice. The noodles were different for the white and black versions. The black noodles were straight while the white noodles were slightly thicker, and both were delicious. The white soup had a slight sweetness, while the black soup had a refreshing taste and was delicious. The burnt rice was not overly burnt, so I was able to eat it myself. I will definitely visit again.

The mixed noodles with Nagoya Cochin chicken have flat and chewy noodles with a slightly restrained texture. Plenty of finely chopped Nagoya Cochin chicken is generously topped. The curry-flavored fried chicken is crispy and delicious. Thank you for the meal today.
