Kagura Tokyo Chicken Ramen

For an extra kick, go for the Onikara Paitan - literally, devil's spicy ramen with EVERYTHING 😈. Well, it's not THAT devillish spicy, but it does turn the heat up a bit.

An offshoot of the main Seimenka Kaguraya store in Tokyo, Kagura Ramen @ Lot 10 serves a seriously good bowl of ramen. 🍜

Kagura's ramen is pork-free and uses chicken 🐔 as well as imported stock (konbu, dried Hokkaido cuttlefish, bonito, Seto seaweed salt) - yielding one of the most umami-rich and collagenous broth.

This is probably my favourite place for chicken-based ramen in KL - the soup profile is very similar to tonkotsu - yet not too oily or salty until rasa jelak. The soup is definitely very complex thanks to the mix of stock used but very pleasing.

I ordered the base choice - Tori Paitan (creamy chicken broth) with EVERYTHING (charsiu chicken thigh, ajitama egg, minced chicken etc.) for RM17.80.
The soup base was very tasty - rich, creamy, but not too overwhelming.

Find warmth on rainy days with this chicken ramen tucked inside J’s Gate Dining. Expect piquant chicken broth made with ingredients flown in from Japan like dried mushrooms, dried bonito and more. There are two menus here; one offering a standard chicken broth and the second featuring ‘premium’ chicken broth which contains more collagen – go with the latter for more sumptuous flavours like in the Premium Rich Ramen (RM18.88). Each bowl comes with chicken char siew, beansprouts and jammy eggs in a creamy, collagenous broth. There’s also a Premium Spicy Miso (RM18.88) made with halal-certified miso.

If you want a flavourful, buttery, rich broth that’s not tonkatsu based, this is for you! I finished the whole bowl and slurped up every single drop 😌👌🏻

Good chicken broth with a deep but subtle soy sauce note. Clearer flavour that comes through compared to the Rich - Everythjng broth.
