Daikoku Ramen Honten
大黒ラーメン 本店
Overview
"Daikoku Ramen Honten," a long-established ramen shop celebrating its 40th anniversary, is located near Fushimi-Momoyama Station on the Keihan Main Line. It's housed in a renovated former sake brewery. This renowned Fushimi area eatery is beloved by local families and a wide range of generations, maintaining an astonishing cost performance with ramen priced at 600 yen and fried rice at 300 yen, even in an era of rising prices. The signature ramen is in the Kyoto ramen style, featuring a double soup of pork bone (tonkotsu) and chicken bone (torigara) combined with soy sauce (shoyu). While its appearance is a clear amber, the first bite offers a subtle tartness, followed by a unique nuance where the umami of pork and chicken gradually unfolds. It's completely free of any unpleasant odors, and the gentle spread of dashi (broth) umami is so addictive that you'll find yourself drinking every last drop. The noodles are medium-thin and straight, lightly prepared to blend well with the soup and be slurped down in an instant. Toppings are a classic combination of chashu (braised pork), green onions, a generous helping of bean sprouts, and red pickled ginger (beni shoga). The portion size is exceptional considering the price. Variations of the signature ramen include Large Ramen (750 yen), extra menma (seasoned bamboo shoots), a seasoned egg (ajitama) for 100 yen, Chashu Ramen, and kimchi. The side dish, fried rice (yakimeshi) for 300 yen, is lightly seasoned with less oil, and its portion is well-adjusted to complement the ramen. Worcestershire sauce specifically for fried rice is provided on the table, and local customers enjoy changing the flavor to their liking. At checkout, a 100 yen discount coupon valid for the next visit is handed out, a charming "infinite loop" of kindness towards repeat customers. Using this coupon, a ramen + fried rice set can be enjoyed for 800 yen. The interior has a cozy, community-oriented atmosphere with two-seater, counter, and six-seater tables. It's a lively shop with a continuous flow of customers even after 8 PM.

チャーシュー麺大盛、ネギ
初訪で伏見本店同様に麺カタ、ネギ多めのコールに(別料金です)と
ネギ高騰なんでしょうがないな

本店とはチャーシューやスープは微妙に違うけどややコッテリに振ったスープ、これも美味い
