Introduction
This time, we would like to introduce “Ramen Tengu” located in our hometown, Nishijin.
There are two branches, one in Tokiwa and the other in Nishijin, but the main branch is called “Ramen Tengu Tokiwa”.
The owner once worked at a ramen restaurant called “Ramen Sugi Chiyo,”
and is said to be able to “taste the taste of Sugi Chiyo,” which was a popular ramen restaurant.
The store is spacious, has a parking lot, and is open late at night.
The restaurant is relatively spacious, open late at night, and has a parking lot,
making it a convenient place to eat.
I like the management policy of this shop, which has a “miso” flavor,
which is rare in Kyoto, and is very considerate.
Miso and Shio are also on the menu
The soup here is to my liking, and unlike Kyoto ramen, which emphasizes chicken or pork bones, the base of the soup is a blend of several ingredients.
It has more flavor than simple Kyoto ramen,
as was the case in Kyoto with the Takaraya family.
I often came here because the dryness of “Ramen Tengu” suited my palate.
There is fine back fat floating on the surface,
but in fact there is also more “oil” than in Kyoto.
This is another difference between ramen in the Kanto and Kansai regions.
In the Kanto region, most ramen has quite a bit of “oil” (not fat) floating around.
Also, at a quick glance, the toppings may look strange, but this is because the green onions are added later.
The green onion is added after the oil.
This system can be seen at Kairikiya and Ramen Yokozuna,
but I think this method is good because it is difficult for the soup to cool down if the green onions are placed afterwards.
The soup is “pork bone-based,” but you can taste “chicken” in the flavor.
The soup is a combination of a number of ingredients, including kelp, I think, for umami.
This, combined with the richness of the aforementioned “floating oil,” gives it a good flavor.
Thin noodles
In Kyoto, medium-thick noodles are common, but this restaurant uses thin noodles.
They are noodles that are mixed with the soup, but with the density of the soup here, thick noodles seem to be no problem.
