Kyoto, Japan｜Takayasu

It’s not easy to find, but it’s very popular. There are still many people at 12 o’clock in the middle of the night. The ramen is cheap and delicious. Although the meat slices are thin, they are spread around the edge of the bowl. The fried chicken is huge. When it was served, it was said that one piece was slightly smaller. Later, another piece was added. A conscientious businessman, absolutely worth it.

Pretty good stuff. I’ve been coming to Kyoto for around 30 years or so, but never had ramen here. Really enjoyed the chashu ramen. Staff were friendly and quick.

A fantastic little ramen restaurant in the heart of Kyoto's ramen neighborhood. I usually order the char siu ramen (チャーシュー・ラーメン) which is always delicious. If you go for the ramen set (定食), you'll also receive three pieces of gigantic (and also very good) deep-fried chicken (唐揚げ). This restaurant is happy to attend families with small children, and they have some children books and toys so the little ones get entertained while waiting. At the end of the dinner, they'll also receive a lollipop (ペロペロキャンディ) which is sure to bring them a big smile. And there's never, ever, anything more precious than seeing your children smile. Five stars is just for the food. And my big, personal recommendation is for making my daugther smile. Highly recommended! 😊
