Unparalleled Super Thick Chicken Soup (History of Kyoto Ramen)
A very famous and popular ramen restaurant among Kyoto ramen shop
Among the ramen stores in the fiercely competitive Ichijyoji area, Kyokudori focuses on “chicken” in its ultra-thick soup.
◼︎What is Kyoto Ramen?
To begin with, there is no universal image of Kyoto Ramen.
The first is “Shinpuku Shoyu Ramen,” which is made from pork bones, pork stock, and pork chashu (pork cutlet) broth:
“Shinpuku Shoyu Ramen” at Kyoto Station Takabashi, which has its roots in 1938, and “Daiichi Asahi” established in 1947.
Chicken broth with fatty back fat floating in it (back fat type): “Chuka-Soba Masutani” in Ginkakuji, founded in 194
Chicken Hakuchu Ramen: “Tenka Ippin” and “Ten Tenyu” in Ichijyoji, established in 1971.
◼︎ Ichijoji Area
Especially in Ichijoji, as a student town, cheap and filling ramen was easily accepted,
and the area became one of the most famous ramen areas in Japan,
with chain restaurants such as “Tenka Ippin” and “Yokozuna” and ramen stores such as “Ten Tenyu” and “Takayasu”.
Among them, ultra-thick, cloudy white chicken soup like “Kyokudori” is also unique as a soup like no other.
The soup tastes like eating chicken.
You lift up the noodles as if you are twirling them in the solid-like sauce, which is also called “eating soup.
I feel like there is not only chicken white soup but also crushed chicken. It feels like a chicken smoothie.
The chashu pork is a very thick shoulder roast that is as strong as the soup. It is no longer chicken or pork, as it is entwined with the chashu.
This noodle is responsible for lifting up the soup,
but the soup is so solid that there are parts that are not entangled with the noodle just by pulling it up normally.
This entanglement is like pasta or gratin. It is no longer a soup, but a sauce.
The white onion also has a strong pungent flavor that goes well with this soup.
All of the toppings are thoughtfully designed to go with this extra thick chicken soup.
There is no other ramen that can compare.
It is a masterpiece of the Ichijyoji area of Kyoto.
