General Info

Located at Higedani-15-3 Umedani, Kizugawa, Kyoto 619-0212, Japan, Muttepou Main Store is a ramen restaurant that has earned a strong reputation among both locals and tourists looking for a satisfying bowl of authentic Japanese ramen. From the moment you step inside, the casual atmosphere makes it easy to relax and focus on what really matters: the food. Whether you are stopping by for a quick meal or planning to explore more dining locations in the area, this restaurant delivers a memorable experience centered around rich flavors and traditional preparation.

One of the most talked-about items on the menu is the とんこつラーメンこってりネギ多めチャーシュー. The rich tonkotsu broth creates a deep and comforting flavor, while the generous amount of green onions adds freshness to every bite. The tender chashu pork complements the creamy soup perfectly, making it easy to understand why this dish appears so often in positive reviews.

Alongside the ramen, the 自家製焼ギョーザ deserves special attention. These house-made grilled dumplings provide a satisfying contrast to the rich broth. Their crisp exterior and flavorful filling make them a popular side order for diners who want a complete meal. During my visit, pairing the gyoza with a cold beer created a simple yet enjoyable combination that enhanced the overall dining experience.

The restaurant also offers several classic ramen accompaniments that allow guests to customize their meal. The ニンニク醤油 adds a savory garlic depth, while the 自家製激辛高菜 brings a bold spicy kick for those who enjoy extra heat. Meanwhile, the 紅生姜 provides a refreshing contrast that balances the richness of the tonkotsu broth. These additions help create a personalized bowl that suits different tastes.

Another detail that stands out is the restaurant’s welcoming approach to visitors. Tourists can comfortably enjoy the authentic ramen experience, and families with young children may appreciate the availability of high chairs. The casual setting keeps the atmosphere relaxed without sacrificing quality or service. It is also worth noting that no au PAY payment option is available, which some visitors may want to keep in mind before arriving.

For anyone exploring ramen restaurants in Kyoto and nearby locations, Muttepou Main Store offers a menu built around bold flavors, traditional techniques, and memorable dining experiences that continue to generate favorable reviews from guests seeking authentic Japanese comfort food.

What customers say?

“ This is the main store of this small chain ramen shop, which hopefully is now one of my new favorites. Muttepou offers only two varieties of ramen, tonkotsu and soy sauce broth soups. Of course, I opted for the tonkotsu chashu ramen with an egg at 1050¥. You can request the noodle texture, broth thickness, and amount of green onion. I prefer my noodles soft with lots of green onion. I asked for the heavy broth and I'm happy to say it did not disappoint at all. The ramen came shortly after I sat down, since they took my ticket whilst I was in line. And it was glorious. The sight of fatty pork fat barely melted in the thick, savory, delicious soup was absolutely heaven. The soft, albeit a bit thin, chashu and soft noodles disappeared in the deeply heavy soup. I had a glorious time consuming it all slowly, savoring every umami bite. I suppose if I wanted to nitpick, the only noteworthy letdown was the egg, as it was a bit overdone and not strongly flavorful. But a minor complaint compared to the rest of the experience. I highly recommend you try this ramen restaurant if you are even remotely in the remote countryside of Kyoto or Nara, as it is well worth the price and long lines. Despite waiting an hour in the cold spring rain, I welcome the chance to do it again next time. There are also other Muttepou shops scattered around; mainly the one near Namba, Osaka, is most convenient to most travelers. ”
