Tentenyu

Kyoto is famous for two styles of ramen. One is a thin, dark shoyu style, as exemplified by Shinpuku Saikan. The other is a thicker, chicken soup, also shoyu. There are two shops that represent this style: Tenkaippin and Tentenyu. I had made a pilgrimage to Tenkaippin's flagship shop some time ago, and now I finally had a chance to go with some friends to Tentenyu.

今日は二つのラーメンスタイルで有名です。とろみがなし黒醤油の「新福菜館」などの店が提供するラーメンが一つ。もう一つはこってりな鶏ガラ醤油です。天下一品と天天有がその系ラーメンの代表です。昔に天下一品本店に行けたので、今回ようやく天天有に行くチャンスがありました。

The Bowl
As expected of the style, the ramen brought to me was a cloudy chicken paitan, trying to decide if its flavors were more chicken or umami. It managed the balance well, keeping me hooked for the entire meal. The medium noodles pulled in the rich broth, and although the chashu was plentiful, it wasn't anything above and beyond your standard shop. The whole Tentenyu package is quality - mostly because the broth manages that burden well.

京都ラーメンらしく、濁っている鶏パイタンでした。けっこううまみの風味が強かったですけど、ほんまに飽きないスープでした。中太麺がとろみがあるスープを吸収して、チャーシューが多かったですけど、普通でした。美味なスープのおかげで天天有が全体的にうまいです。

Would I Go Again?
A solid representative of Kyoto ramen. I would go again.

京都ラーメンの代表においしいです。また行きたいです。

Should You Go?
Yes.

行った方がいいです。
