Todai Kyoto
東大 京都店
Overview
This is a Tokushima ramen shop located on the 10th floor of Kyoto Station Building within "Kyoto Ramen Koji". Its signature dish is a bowl often likened to "sukiyaki-style," featuring rich tonkotsu shoyu soup topped with sweet and savory seasoned pork belly. Fresh raw eggs are available for free at your table, which you can add to your ramen for extra creaminess, or pour over white rice to make TKG (tamago kake gohan – egg over rice) – the choice is yours. Bean sprout namul is also provided free of charge. With direct access from the station building, it boasts excellent accessibility. Ordering is simple thanks to the touch-panel ticket vending machines, which feature photos and English language support. The shop also accepts electronic money and QR code payments, making it very convenient for international travelers.
How to Order
1Before Entering
A Tokushima ramen specialty shop located within "Kyoto Ramen Koji" on the 10th floor of Kyoto Station Building, directly connected to JR Kyoto Station. Open from 11:00 to 22:00 (L.O. 21:30), following Kyoto Station Building's operating hours (closed on building holidays). During peak hours (12-13:00, 18-19:00), the line can extend outside. Aim for off-peak times like after 13:30 or around 17:00. From Kyoto Station, take an elevator or escalator from the 1st floor to the 10th floor.
2Purchase Meal Tickets and Order
The ticket vending machine at the entrance is a touch-panel type, easy for foreigners to use with menu photos and English descriptions. Choose from signature Tokushima Ramen (regular) 880 yen, rice 200 yen, gyoza sets, etc. Scan the Ramen Koji QR code upon entry and register with the official app to get a coupon for 4 free gyoza. Payment accepted via cash, e-money, and QR code payment (credit cards not accepted).
3Seating and Receiving Your Order
Total of 28 seats: 16 at the counter and 3 tables with 4 seats each. Staff will collect your meal ticket and guide you to your seat. Your order will be served quickly, in about 5 minutes.
4Other Notes
A unique feature of the shop is free-flow raw eggs available at the table. A classic way to enjoy Tokushima Ramen is to crack a raw egg into it for a "sukiyaki-style" flavor. If you order rice, dashi soy sauce for TKG (Tamago Kake Gohan, egg on rice) is available, so you can enjoy it as egg-on-rice. Spicy bean sprout namul is also all-you-can-eat, and many customers add it to their ramen for a change of flavor. Tokushima Ramen's sweet and savory stewed pork belly pairs excellently with white rice.

Miso Mendokoro Tasakaya (Ikebukuro): Navigating the Japanese-Only Ticket Machine and a Review of its Robust Miso Ramen
Miso Mendokoro Tasakaya, a miso ramen specialist located in Nishi-Ikebukuro, is just about a 5-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station's West Exit. This shop is known for its hearty miso ramen: a thick, rich, slightly sweet miso broth, firm thick noodles, melt-in-your-mouth chashu, and a towering pile of crisp bean sprouts (moyashi) – a truly robust and voluminous bowl. The menu features four main series: Miso Ramen, Kara-Miso Ramen (spicy miso), Aemen (a brothless mixed noodle dish), and IWGP Geki-Kara Ramen (extra hot). This guide, based on our visit on Friday, May 22, 2026 (arrived at 6:39 PM with a 13-person queue), provides photos and tips for first-time visitors to Japan. We'll cover how to navigate the Japanese-only, no-photo ticket vending machine using a color guide, understand the queuing situation (only 9 counter seats and long noodle cooking times mean slower turnover), tips to avoid crowds, and the cash-only payment policy.

Ramen Jiro "Kabuji" (Shinjuku-Kabukicho): The Complete Guide to Jiro Calls and Timing
Just a 1-minute walk from Seibu-Shinjuku Station North Exit, Ramen Jiro Shinjuku-Kabukicho, affectionately known as Kabuji (a nickname combining Kabukicho + Jiro), is the fourth oldest chokkei (direct-lineage) shop of the Ramen Jiro chain. Its late-night hours from 11:30 AM to 2:30 AM (Mon, Tue, Thu-Sun, closed Wed) are a unique advantage among chokkei shops, making it ideal for combining with Kabukicho sightseeing or as a late-night ramen after drinks. With its semi-emulsified pork-bone shoyu broth, homemade flat thick wavy noodles, unique call (shouted topping order ritual) culture (Ninniku (raw grated garlic), Yasai (boiled bean sprouts on top), Abura (solid back fat for richness), Karame (extra soy tare for stronger salty taste), Mashi (more, about 1.5×), Sukuname (less, about half)), the chokkei system of ticket-folding (a wordless system to request firmer or softer noodles by folding the meal ticket) to specify noodle hardness, lot system (a Jiro-specific eating rhythm where the same batch of customers finish together) manners, and specific rules (no phone calls, no photography except ramen, no drunken entry), this article provides a complete guide based on our visit on May 15, 2026, where we ordered a Small Ramen (¥950) with the call 'Ninniku Sukuname, Yasai, Abura'.
