Tanpopo

Tanpopo - Kyoto Ramen (Chicken-Pork Tonkotsu) This long-established ramen shop offers a strikingly visual bowl, covered entirely in vibrant red chili peppers, but surprisingly, the spiciness is mild. The flavor profile is a harmonious blend of a chicken-pork tonkotsu soup base with the richness of pork back fat and the fragrant essence of chili peppers, resulting in an uniquely addictive taste. It's also known as the shop where the owner of Ichijoji's popular "Gokkei" ramen trained for over 10 years, and is said to be the originator of the "Akadaku" (red broth) style. The large, melt-in-your-mouth braised chashu is exceptional. The fried rice set (small +300 yen~) often sells out quickly, so early arrival is recommended. Garlic and chili peppers can be added or removed free of charge. Payment is cash only and advance payment is required. Access is primarily by bus; it's a 3-minute walk from the Kyoto City Bus "Bukkyo University-mae" stop. There are 5 dedicated parking spaces at the back. For information on temporary closures, please check the official Instagram (@ramen_tanpopo).
