The Kyoto Yuzu Tonkotsu Ramen shop at Nangang Global Shopping Center is located on the basement floor of Nangang Station. The location is very convenient, making it a great dining option before shopping or taking the train.

#Open during the New Year
The Nangang Global Shopping Center operates normally during the Spring Festival, as does the food court.

Today, we enjoyed a couple's set meal and Yuzu Pepper Fried Chicken, totaling 740 NT dollars.

Couple's Set Meal:
The set includes Yuzu Tonkotsu Ramen, Yuzu Chicken Shoyu Ramen, Chashu Rice, Fried Gyoza, and French Fries.

Yuzu Tonkotsu Ramen:
The signature dish of the shop, the rich tonkotsu broth is complemented by a refreshing yuzu aroma. When you take a sip, you can perceive the yuzu fragrance enhancing the broth's layers, preventing the heavy tonkotsu soup from becoming too greasy. The noodles are medium-thick straight noodles with a chewy and bouncy texture, while the pork chashu is moderately thick.

Yuzu Chicken Shoyu Ramen:
Compared to tonkotsu, the chicken shoyu broth is more refreshing and mild. It has a subtle yuzu fruit aroma on entry, with a rich chicken soup finish. The noodles are the same, while the chicken chashu has a more delicate and tender texture.

Chashu Rice:
The rice is cooked to a perfect consistency, and the chashu is cut into small pieces, seasoned with mayonnaise, giving it a savory flavor.

Fried Gyoza:
The outer skin is crispy, and the filling is savory. However, Japanese-style gyoza has an ongoing issue of not being suitable for Chinese palates.

French Fries:
Standard French fries, crispy and decent.

Yuzu Pepper Fried Chicken:
The skin is crispy, and the inside is juicy. This is a basic requirement; any shop failing to achieve this standard should close down quickly. The key is the accompanying yuzu pepper salt, which adds a citrusy aroma and a touch of spiciness, enhancing the overall flavor.

Overall, this is at the average standard level of a chain ramen shop. If you remove the yuzu from the ramen, you'll find the flavor becomes quite bland (though the delicious base still exists). Almost all dishes revolve around the yuzu pepper sauce and pepper salt provided in the shop, and these two condiments are incredibly delightful and hard to overlook.

The dining area is a typical department store food court type; after eating, you take your tray to the recycling area, which goes without saying.

I recommend it to everyone.
