Takayasu

The taste of the ramen is really impressive. It is a little different from traditional ramen, but I don’t know exactly what is different. I just feel that although the soup looks thick, it tastes not greasy and is delicious.

Pretty good ramen, good portion, chashu edge with thinly sliced ​​pork

It was lunchtime in Ichijoji, and a bowl of hot ramen was perfect for a rainy day! ☔️ "Chūka Soba Takaan" is located in the Ichijoji area of ​​Sakyo Ward, Kyoto, right next to the famous ramen street "Higashi-ōji-dori," which reportedly has six or seven ramen shops—the most concentrated area of ​​ramen in Kyoto! 📍 The interior is decorated in typical Japanese style. Surprisingly, there was an empty seat as soon as I walked in—so lucky! 🎊 There was a little mishap when ordering: I accidentally ordered the "toppings + beer" special set, so I ended up ordering an extra bowl of the Chinese ramen I'd been craving! 🍜✨ 💯 Food Review: - The noodles were chewy and springy, and the chashu (barbecued pork) had a perfect balance of lean and fatty meat. - The broth was rich but not too salty; I easily finished it all. - Each table had spicy chive condiments, which is rare in Kyoto! - The fried chicken looked amazing, but I was afraid I wouldn't be able to finish it, so I didn't order it. (Foodie tip: Remember to save room for the fried chicken!) I started sweating halfway through the meal 💦 In the end, I stripped down to just my t-shirt! Definitely the most unforgettable ramen experience ever! 🛎️ Restaurant Tips: Opening Hours: 11:00-15:00 / 18:00-23:00 Standard Ramen: Around 800 yen Recommended Order: Fried Chicken + Beer Set The queue at "Ikedaya" across the street is super long! I definitely have to try it next time 👀! #KyotoFood #RamenReview #IchijojiRamen #JapanTravelGuide #KyotoMustEat

When I was in Kyoto, I visited a ramen restaurant called "Takayasu" (中華そば-高安).   Transportation: Get off at Ichijoji Station on the Eizan Main Line and walk northwest for about 4 minutes   Although when it comes to ramen, most Chinese people may first think of Ichiran Ramen, which has chain stores all over the country. Although Ichiran is both convenient and delicious, the first battlefield that represents Kyoto's highest standards and has the most intense competition is actually here: Ichijoji. This place is known as Kyoto's ramen street. Just ask the locals and you will know its status in the ramen world.   Hidden here are low-key and delicious local shops. For example, Gaoan is said to be the number one ramen restaurant voted by Kyoto university students. Since it is the students’ favorite, I feel that it should be of good quality and inexpensive, and large in size.   This store opened in 1998. When I walked in, I was shocked by the various certifications on the glass door. They all recommended it as a popular store, which shows that it is not ordinary. Opening hours are from 11:30 am to 2:00 am. When I entered the store, I found that it was full of award certificates.   The limited-supply "Sujiramen" ramen is the most popular and the hardest to get. If you come later, it will be gone. This is a very traditional Japanese thick soup ramen. I heard that the soup base made of pork bones, chicken and sea bass takes 22 hours to cook. I would like to highly recommend their fried chicken. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the best fried chicken I have ever eaten! The skin is crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the chicken is tender.

Just like its name, this is a cheap and large bowl of ramen. The queue is very long, but the portion is very very very amazing. I only ate one-third of it and the fried chicken before I couldn't finish it. I hope you will go there to eat when you are very hungry.
