Menya Inoichi

A popular ramen shop that has earned the Bib Gourmand title in the Michelin Guide multiple times, recognized for offering quality food at good value. The restaurant takes pride in its 100% seafood broth, meticulously prepared by blending several types of fish flakes, including carefully selected bonito flakes from Kyoto's established "Kyoto Katsuobushi," and extracting the flavors at a low temperature.

Choose from two types of broth: the light "Shiro" made with white soy sauce, or the rich "Kuro" made with dark soy sauce. The "Kyoto Miyako Mochi Pork" chashu, known for its sweet fat, is tender and infused with the soup's flavor, offering a succulent texture. The aroma of thinly shaved bonito flakes from Ibusuki also whets the appetite. Customize your dish with toppings like yuzu and tororo kombu served alongside. The homemade noodles, mixed with whole wheat flour, are produced in the noodle factory on the second floor of the restaurant, providing a satisfying chew that pairs excellently with the soup.

In addition to the standard "Wagyu Soba" featuring Japanese black beef, keep an eye out for seasonal limited menus. Be prepared for potential queues at this popular spot.
