Ikoma, Nara, Japan｜らぁめんトリカヂ イッパイ

This shop caught my eyes because the review says that it has been on Michelin Guide 2017. It turns out that it managed to make it into the 2022 Guide as well! I had the ramen of the day, which was a chicken broth-based ramen and the kimagure (chef's recommendation) bowl. It was very satisfying. The noodle was perfectly chewy, the chicken charsiu topping was juicy and had a good texture, and the soup was delicious and lightly flavored I drank it all, which was a first to me. It is a popular shop with only 10 seats, so expect a line when you come. You just need to queue, and then when your turn comes, the staff will ask for the number of people. Once you enter the shop, the staff will lead you to a machine to purchase tickets, so prepare cash.

Very very good ramen, and the price was about as good as you could expect. Got the dry ramen with an egg and the Japanese pepper spice. P.S. they were playing Queen on the stereo 🎸

You can enjoy everything from advanced Chinese noodles to creative ramen! Conveniently located near the Ikoma Interchange on the Hanna Road. Customers come in all the time, even on weekday nights. In addition to the three basic types of ramen: soy sauce, salt, and miso, they also offer creative ramen. I ordered the special soy sauce ramen from the law on the upper left (?). There was a customer in advance, but it was served soon. It's very fast. First of all, the soup. The strong umami flavor of the chin soup stock, combined with the gentle soy sauce flavor, makes for an evolved Chinese soba. You can't help but gulp it down. The noodles are thin. The amount of water added seems to be normal or a little low, and the slightly hard noodles have a strong wheat flavor, giving the feeling that you are eating solid noodles even though they are thin. It also goes well with soup. The char siu comes with two types of char siu, chicken and pork, and the chicken char siu is especially delicious as it is well seasoned with spices. The boiled eggs are perfectly half-cooked, and you can see the careful work that goes into them. Overall I'm very satisfied! Perhaps because Ikoma City is a commuter town, there is an impression that there are not many ramen restaurants considering the population, but our restaurant, which has established itself as a famous restaurant in Nara, is often crowded on holidays.
