A ramen shop located in a residential area in the northern district. The customers are mainly students. They offer a discount for students. I ordered the fried chicken set for 1000 yen and added extra chashu for 250 yen. The chashu was simmered type. The ramen was average. The fried chicken was tasty.

I visited around 2:00 PM, past the lunch peak hours, and the restaurant was not crowded. I sat at a vacant counter seat while maintaining social distance and looked at the menu. The noodle menu offered "Sai Shin Ramen" and "Jajangmyeon", with the option to choose from soy sauce, salt, or miso for Sai Shin Ramen. I had planned to order miso ramen as I had read a review by MyRebi H.M. who enjoyed it, but I asked the staff for a recommendation and they suggested the miso ramen, so I decided to go with that. I ordered the Sai Shin Ramen Miso (820 yen). The bowl was filled with chopped green onions, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, chashu pork, and seaweed. Additionally, a separate container of spicy leeks was provided for flavor adjustment. When I tasted the soup, the rich miso flavor filled my mouth. The rich miso flavor combined with the rich chicken and pork bone soup, first providing a rich miso flavor and then followed by the mellow umami of the chicken and pork bone. The noodles were medium-thick curly noodles with a firm texture and a strong wheat flavor, which paired well with the rich soup. The thick-sliced pork belly chashu was seared with a burner just before serving, giving it a fragrant and savory taste. I added some leeks into the ramen, which had a spicy flavor that complemented the rich soup perfectly. I ended up adding all of it. It was a very delicious miso ramen with a rich and flavorful taste. While I am curious about the salt and soy sauce options, I think I will order miso again when I visit next time.

Located near the Imazonobashi shopping street, close to the Kamigamo Miosenbashi bus stop, is Saishin. I visited this place hoping for a rich miso ramen, reminiscent of the old Akashin days. The door of the shop was open, there was a ventilation fan inside, and there were few customers, allowing for social distancing. I ordered the weekday lunch set with white fish fry, of course with miso ramen and a small portion of rice. The miso ramen was rich and satisfying, with thick and tender chashu as expected. The lightly battered white fish fry was cooked just right, slightly rare, and paired perfectly with the tartar sauce, which I enjoyed with the fluffy rice. The lunch set was too much for me, so next time I will go for the mini chashu bowl set (they mentioned that there will be more bowl menu options). Thank you for the meal.

Visited on a Tuesday afternoon in June 4, 2019, a little after 1 o'clock. There were two other customers already there. Considering the location and time for lunch on a weekday, it felt a bit quiet. I decided to order the "Sai Shin Ramen". Surprisingly, it didn't take long from ordering to the ramen being served. It came with some garlic chives and chili, which seemed to be a standard practice here. I was a bit surprised as there were more on the table than usual. The taste of the ramen itself was nothing particularly special, but when I added the garlic chives and chili, it added a nice flavor.

Located near the somewhat distant Kamigamo Shrine from Kyoto Station, there is a restaurant called "Saishin." If you take the bus, it is right near the bus stop called "Kamigamo Misogibashi." I tried the signature dish called "Saishin Ramen" for 750 yen. The menu is limited, but they also have a similar dish called "Saishin Shoyu," which is a soy sauce ramen. The ramen I had was a salty type of broth, typical of Kyoto ramen, with a rich flavor. The noodles were thin and had a good texture, slightly firm. The ramen also came with a side of "nira" (chives) marinated in a spicy chili oil similar to the one you find at the chain restaurant Hanamaruken. This added a nice touch to the dish and complemented the flavors well.

Ramen Saishin @ Kyoto Kitayama On this day, I happened to pass by this place in the northern part of Kyoto city while working! What should I choose from the lunch menu here? The fried chicken is too heavy, so I'll go with the white fish fry (laughs). Saishin Ramen (salt) - 750 yen for just the ramen During lunchtime, there's an additional 130 yen charge, which is fantastic (^_^) Yay! The green onion condiment is excellent! The ramen is incredibly delicious (laughs). Thank you for the meal!

Blog post can be found here... http://harapekooyaji.blog104.fc2.com/blog-entry-1545.html On July 9, 2017, after indulging in some delicious food at another restaurant, I decided to visit Ramen Saishin in Omiya Minamitanjiri-cho, Kita-ku, Kyoto City. I had noticed this restaurant every time I passed by, intrigued by the sign that advertised "4 pieces of fried chicken for 450 yen, available for takeout." It seemed like a place with generous portions, so I decided to give it a try. Upon entering the restaurant, I noticed that it was quite empty, with only a couple of university students as other customers. I ordered a large portion of rice and some fried chicken, as I was in the mood for a carb-heavy meal. The staff seemed a bit surprised that I didn't order ramen, but my order was quickly taken. The rice arrived first, served in a large bowl with some delicious pickled vegetables on the side. The fried chicken followed shortly after, looking crispy and juicy. The chicken had a nice seasoning and was very tasty, especially when eaten with the pickled vegetables. The combination of flavors was delightful, and I couldn't help but finish everything on my plate. Overall, the meal was satisfying, and I even discovered a new way to enjoy pickled vegetables with fried chicken. It was a pleasant surprise, and I would recommend trying it out. Now, with a full stomach, I'm ready to tackle the rest of my day.

The taste is gentle and likely to be popular with everyone.

I visited the restaurant in the middle of the night and there were a few customers. I ordered a large serving of miso ramen. The soup had a strong red miso flavor, but personally, I thought it was just okay. The person I was with said the shoyu (soy sauce) ramen was tastier.

The salt ramen with garlic sprouts is very delicious, but it's a shame that the portion size has become much smaller compared to before.

Lunch at work, for some reason ended up watching a violin concert at Kamigamo Shrine. Before the concert, had a meal at a place that didn't look impressive, near the shrine. Had a flavorful miso ramen with extra richness, oily and garlicky stir-fried leeks, a satisfying small pork bowl, tender and crispy fried chicken, all surprisingly delicious.

I usually don't eat ramen and instead regularly enjoy fried chicken, but after seeing a review of miso ramen, I decided to try it. It was rich and delicious. I liked the medium-thick, flat curly noodles. There was only one slice of chashu, but it was thick, tender, and tasty. I recommend it to those who like miso ramen. By the way, I also really like the chashu here. I wish the price was a little cheaper though... (the chashu is a few tens of yen more expensive than other ramen). It's understandable that prices go up, but still.

One of my favorite memories from Aji Kyosandaio is the delicious ramen with the best-tasting chives I've ever had. They also serve top-notch fried chicken. The smell of chives lingers until the next day, so I have to be careful when I eat them. It's not the kind of place I would go with my girlfriend. I feel reassured that there are more chives now compared to the Akashin era.

It was delicious.

When I asked for a recommendation, I ordered the salt ramen, but it was just average. It didn't leave much of an impression. However, the restaurant was full of customers, so maybe I should try something else next time?

The fried chicken set meal is satisfying and has good value for money. Plus, it's delicious.

Delicious ramen with large fried chicken and amazing kimchi with garlic chives!

The food is extremely delicious! 🌟
