My Recommendation
☆Ramen (original)
💡 The most popular way of customizing among Japanese:
Noodle Texture: Firm
☆Kaedama
💡 “KAEDAMA” is the traditional way of refilling noodles into the remaining soup.
In this way, you pay less amount of money for the second ramen!! Also, you may change the noodle texture.

From my point of view 🙂
What makes so special about “ICHIRAN” is you can experience one of the “ZEN” mind through the ramen. At “ICHIRAN,” you can concentrate on eating and enjoying your ramen because you will be provided your own space and basically your talking should be minimized with others.
When your ramen is ready in front of you, you will see the perfect presence of ramen with the thought out arrangement by “ICHIRAN.” I hope you will experience the feeling like you are watching the beautiful Japanese gardens in Kyoto.
“TONKOTSU” simply means pork bone, and originated in FUKUOKA (KYUSHU AREA), the south of Japan.
This type of broth soup looks milky white in color and very rich in taste. Since “TONKOTSU” broth soup contains a lot of collagen which is believed to be good for your skin, this type soup is very popular among Japanese women.
💡 Nowadays, you may find the many variations of “TONKOTSU” soup. To find the real original type, please take a look at the surface and noodles.
If the big white back oils are floating around, it is the variation type.
Yes, the original type is also contains oils but much less oily, and also with the very thin type of noodles.
Thank you for reading my report. 🙂
