[Kyoto Ramen] The Kairikiya Ramen with Back Fat Soy Sauce

Posted on by nicklee

I have a feeling of walking into a “men’s school” when I enter kairikiya Ramen. I wonder if I have to pass the “oil bath” test before eating a bowl of ramen?! kairikiya Ramen originated from Kyoto and there are actually many different flavors of ramen in Kyoto. kairikiya belongs to the fatty soy sauce-based ramen, which is different from the commonly seen soy sauce ramen. If you haven’t tried it before, you can give it a try.

The restaurant I came to eat at is a branch located in Sanjo, Kawaramachi.

They have a wide variety of condiments available inside the store.

And there are cucumbers that I love to eat.

Spicy Miso

Kurume House, like Ichiran, allows customization of noodle firmness, scallion quantity, oiliness, and spiciness. However, in terms of ordering, it is not as convenient as Ichiran, which offers checkboxes. Therefore, for those who are not familiar with Japanese, it may be a bit more troublesome~

Menu.

Popular Choice: Fried Rice Set Meal for ¥880, I’ll go with this one!

Fried rice is served first, and it looks pretty good, with each grain well-cooked.

I ordered the regular ramen because I was afraid of getting the slightly firm noodles like I did at Ichiran, which didn’t have a good texture. So this time, I chose the regular flavor with normal noodle firmness, scallion amount, and oil content. And no chili pepper added.

The amount of oil in this dish is average, but it feels so rich and flavorful.

The texture of the noodles is pretty good~ It doesn’t have a hard feeling.

When it comes to char siu, it’s just average without any special flavor.

Bamboo shoots, it’s rare to find ramen with bamboo shoots.

Finally, it’s time to finish eating~

Comment:
Kuraikiya is a rising ramen shop in recent years. It belongs to the fatty soy sauce style, similar to Bao Wu Ramen. However, its fishy taste is milder than the Bao Wu Ramen I had before. The fried rice is not particularly outstanding, but still good. After finishing a portion, I feel really full… Additionally, Feitian Little Witch previously released their Kyujo Green Onion Ramen. Interested people can also take a look!

One day, a friend handed me a drink and asked me to try this beverage he recommended, believing that I would fall in love with it at the first sip.
The first sip tasted quite sweet, and before I knew it, I was taking one sip after another…
This cup, named “Lychee Oolong + Pink Rice Cake,” costs $60.
Actually, the sugar has been removed! But the sweetness of the lychee is still there, and surprisingly, it pairs quite well with the sweeter and softer rice cake.👍👍
The rice cake doesn’t taste sweet to me, but it’s incredibly soft and chewy. If you’re someone who enjoys a good bite, you’ll find yourself continuously taking one mouthful after another. I wonder if adding these rice cakes to milk tea would be equally amazing. 🤤🤤

Ise, Mie Prefecture – Okaga Yokocho Food – Butasute

There is a beef bowl restaurant in Okaga Yokocho called “Butasute”. The name is really unique. Does it mean that the food is so delicious that people don’t want to eat pork? Of course, this is not the true origin… The above is purely a legend. In fact, the original owner of Butasute, “Shekichi”, used to raise pigs. Later, he stopped raising pigs and became a beef merchant, hence the name “Butasute”
