かたぐるま (Kataguruma in Kyoto)
The Japanese word kataguruma, or shoulder car, means piggyback. It’s a fitting name for a shop opened by the disciple of another famous shop. In this case, it’s Orenoramenappare (俺のラーメンあっぱれ屋), also in Kyoto. But the original is not convenient by modern standards. It will take about an... More
かたぐるま (Kataguruma in Kyoto)
The Japanese word kataguruma, or shoulder car, means piggyback. It’s a fitting name for a shop opened by the disciple of another famous shop. In this case, it’s Orenoramenappare (俺のラーメンあっぱれ屋), also in Kyoto. But the original is not convenient by modern standards. It will take about an hour on public transport to get there. Kataguruma is just a couple stops from Kyoto Station proper.
I'm currently breaking down the Top 100 #hyakumeiten #百名店 shops from around Japan. This one is 11/100 on the West Japan list.

- Ramen Adventures added a new meal Dinner at 晴耕雨読 at Seikou Udoku (晴耕雨読)
晴耕雨読 (Seikoudoku in Uji, Kyoto)
The mega-highly ranked Seikoudoku in Uji is one of the most popular soupless tantanmen ramen shops in Japan. They are a “legend” shop, having been given the top awards by everyone who makes awards.

- Ramen Adventures added a new meal Dinner at つけ麺 繁田 at Tsukemen Shigeta (つけ麺 繁田)
つけ麺 繁田 (Shigeta in Kobe, Hyogo)
Homemade noodles are thick and wheaty. Be warned that the soup is intense. Pork with massive amounts of dried fish flavors. A tiny sliver of yuzu citrus peel gives some respite from the overbearing nature of this bowl.

つけ麺 繁田 (Shigeta in Kobe, Hyogo)
Homemade noodles are thick and wheaty. Be warned that the soup is intense. Pork with massive amounts of dried fish flavors. A tiny sliver of yuzu citrus peel gives some respite from the overbearing nature of this bowl.
The shop also offers a mazesoba that looked particularly tasty. The master’s future goals are to open a ramen shop and a mazesoba-only shop, so keep this one in your sights.

- Ramen Adventures added a new meal Dinner at 滋賀県 at la-men NIKKOU (ラーメンにっこう)
ラーメン ニッコウ (lamen Nikkou in Shiga Prefecture)
Toripaitan (鶏白湯), Clear shoyu (日香麺), and Kokuni Black (湖国ブラック) are the main choices. What makes a critique of Nikkou so hard is that they have a constant limited menu as well. Check their Instagram for more info on that. Being my first time I went with the tsukemen.

セアブラノ神 (Seabura Kami in Kyoto)
Seabura backfat is used commonly in ramen. Thick globs of silky fat that basically melt in the bowl. Although the image looks chunky, it is smooth as butter. Probably more calories than butter as well.

- Ramen Adventures added a new meal Dinner at 鉢ノ葦葉 at Ramen Hachinoashiha (らーめん 鉢ノ葦葉)
らーめん 鉢ノ葦葉 本店 (Hachinoashiha in Yokkaichi, Mie)
The shop boasts their use of all Japanese ingredients and a non chemical mantra. Very chicken-y, with some nice fried onion as an accent.
They offer a few other items on the menu, but first-timers should get the shio ramen, without a doubt.
