Noko Kyo Toripaitan Menya Mitsuru

Most of the time I eat ramen in Osaka, but one by one I am making my way through the shops in Kyoto, especially the ones in the downtown districts of Karasuma and Kawaramachi. Today's shop is Noko Kyo Toripaitan Menya Mitsuru, off a small alleyway by Karasuma. As the "toripaitan" in their name suggests, they specialize in chicken ramen. They had a white shio and a black shoyu, so I decided to try the shio.

普段大阪でラーメンを食べますけど、京都のラーメン屋さんもいろいろ開拓しようとしています。特に、烏丸と河原町のへんの店によく行っちゃいます。今回「濃厚京鶏白湯めんや美鶴」という店に行ってみました。名前通り、鶏ラーメンが名物です。白の塩も黒の醤油もあって、塩にしました。

The Bowl
The broth was yellow and clear, but was a surprisingly hearty chicken soup. It was pretty hearty, but the short, and thin noodles still went well pulling the goop and various toppings out. A ginger-filled pork ball, some light and tender chashu, and some sharp onions that had a scent of red onions you find on a hot dog were among the items. When the thing was taking me down towards the end, I added bit of black shichimi and sansho, which toned it down a bit.

黄色くて透き通ったスープでしたけど、意外とこってりっぽかったです。短いストレート麺でも合いました。ショウガ風味の肉玉、とろけるチャーシュー、辛いホットドッグでよく見るネギが乗っていました。最後ら変にちょっとしんどかったので、京都黒七味と山椒をかけました。

Would I Go Again?
Yeah, it was a solid chicken ramen shop in a good location.

美味しかった鶏ラーメンで便利な場所なのでまた行くかもしれません。
