Chukasoba Takayasu
One of the most popular ramen shops in the fiercely competitive Ichijoji area.
"Chukasoba Takayasu" established tonkotsu-style ramen in Kyoto's ramen scene, which was previously dominated by soy sauce-based ramen. It's one of the most popular shops in the fiercely competitive Ichijoji area, often drawing long lines even before opening.
Their pride and joy is the creamy and rich broth made by simmering pork bones and chicken carcasses for over 20 hours. Despite its richness, the soup is gentle and lacks overpowering flavors, making it approachable even for those new to tonkotsu ramen. Alongside their classic "Chuka Soba," the menu also features options like the generously topped "Chashu Men" and the limited-quantity "Suji Ramen" made with beef tendons. The ample portions, including the option for unlimited rice and curry-flavored large pieces of karaage (fried chicken), resonate well with the student-filled atmosphere of Ichijoji. Among their offerings, the "Karaage Teishoku" (fried chicken set meal) with three pieces of karaage and rice is particularly renowned for its satisfyingly large portion.
The bright and stylish interior resembles a café, creating a welcoming atmosphere even for solo female diners. With operating hours extended until 2 a.m., it's convenient for those who want to avoid peak times and long queues.
