Tenkaippin - Kujo

Simmered slowly from chicken bones and aromatic vegetables, the signature kotteri broth at Tenkaippin is often described as something to eat rather than simply drink. At the Kujo branch, however, the draw goes beyond ramen alone. This location serves a special grilled chicken thigh set meal—available at only a handful of outlets throughout the entire chain—and plenty of visitors make the trip specifically for this fragrant, savory poultry dish.

Fragrant Grilled Chicken Thigh in Sweet-Savory Sauce

Highlighted as a specialty exclusive to this location, the bone-in grilled chicken thigh is basted in a sweet and savory sauce before being roasted to aromatic perfection. Meaty and deeply satisfying, it pairs naturally with steamed white rice as a full set meal. It also works just as well ordered à la carte alongside a cold bottled beer.

Hearty Combos to Savor Every Drop of Broth

The main attraction remains the classic kotteri ramen, featuring noodles that cling to the remarkably thick broth with every lift of the chopsticks. For an even more intense experience, there is the Kotteri Max, and additions like garlic chives or chopped green onions lend a sharp accent to the broth's heavy richness. The set meal options are equally generous: choose a half-size fried rice combo, the kotteri tenshinhan set that layers the signature soup over fluffy egg and rice, or the soup rice set prepared with extra broth so not a drop goes to waste.

Spacious Seating and Reliable Late-Night Hours

The restaurant offers counter seating on the 1st floor and table seating across the 2nd floor, comfortably accommodating solo patrons and families alike. It stays open until 24:00 on weekdays and until 25:00 from Friday through Sunday, making it a dependable stop for late-night meals. Payment is cash only, so having sufficient yen on hand will ensure a smooth checkout after your meal.
