What the heck is yaki-ramen? In fact, yaki-ramen is another Hakata local delicacy, along with Hakata ramen.
You have to go to Hakata to taste yaki ramen, but there is actually a restaurant in Fushimi, Kyoto, where you can enjoy yaki ramen. This time, we will report on such a yaki-ramen restaurant, “Chuka-Soba Fushimi Nishiki.

Menu and taste
There are three kinds of noodle menus (yatai, special, and yaki-ramen) except for chashu-men.
The side menu is rather extensive, or rather impressive, with many items like agi slices and tsuji konnyaku, which are like snacks on an izakaya menu.
Now that’s what I call grilled ramen!
Of course, the standard dishes are also delicious, but it is the yaki-ramen that I am interested in at this restaurant.
Yaki-Ramen is, so to speak, a grilled version of Hakata Ramen.
Yatai ramen is a very standard style, taste, and ingredients.
Of course, you can also have regular Hakata tonkotsu ramen that is not grilled at this restaurant.
It has a surprisingly light tonkotsu soup, very thin noodles, and kikurage (a type of edible mushroom).
