♦︎The exquisite richness produced by complex flavors! :Stylish and delicious! A must-visit Tsukemen specialty restaurant!
Tokiya
♦Nishinakajima-Minamikata Station (Hankyu Kyoto Line, Midosuji Line)
Tokiya is a tsukemen specialty restaurant that has been selected as one of the 100 best ramen restaurants in the "EAT LOG".
It is said that there is always a long line and it is difficult to get in.
I moved my visit to a weekday around 2:00 p.m. and succeeded in getting in without waiting in line. I succeeded in getting in without waiting in line.
The interior of the restaurant is chic and has the atmosphere of a hidden bar.
The lighting is dark. Many of the waitresses are women, and the restaurant does not look like a tsukemen shop.
I like the atmosphere because it is very comfortable and makes you want to stay forever.
The system for ordering is to purchase a meal ticket in advance.
The menu is extensive, with a choice of chicken dipping sauce or pork dipping sauce as the base.
The signature dish is the "pork dipping sauce.
Since I was quite hungry, I even ordered risotto, lol.
Ordering menu
♦Pork dipping sauce: 900 yen (with rice and broth)
Thick and thick. It seems to contain gelatin of pork skin. It seems to contain gelatin of pork skin, so it has a floppy texture like that of the family lineage.
It is amazing that the two insistent elements, the rawness of pork and the addictive richness of seafood, remain without erasing each other's good qualities.
This is why the richness is so impressive.
The bonito flakes? It has a very dashi-ish flavor, which is very addictive.
The soup is so thick that the noodles are covered with it.
The noodles are not that firm. I think it's just right, because thick soup and noodles might make me sick to my stomach. It is not too thick.
Dashi gohan comes out after you finish eating the tsukemen.
The soup is served in a lotus flower and about three cups are poured over the rice.
The middle of the lotus flower is a plum.
The dashi and the soup mix, and the salty taste disappears and becomes mild.
It is a new sensation. I liked it very much like miso chazuke.
♦Tokiya Risotto 300 yen
Original cream risotto. Risotto in a ramen shop? I was curious, so I ordered it.
The fermentation and smoothness of the cheese and the saltiness of the tuna balanced each other just right.
The taste is creamy and addictive. It has a delicious flavor that stretches out afterwards.
The richness of the fish gives it a complex flavor that is as good as the cheese.
