All Reviews of Menya Inoichi

Kyoto’s popular ramen shop Menya Inoichi left me with wonderful food memories. The interior is simple and comfortable, with a warm Japanese atmosphere. There was a wait, but the anticipation of enjoying delicious ramen made it worthwhile.

The ramen broth was crystal clear with a delicate aroma. It was savory and smooth without being too rich, allowing the ingredients’ natural flavors to shine. The fine noodles, tender chashu, fragrant green onions, and other toppings created layers of flavor in every bite. The care put into the ingredients and presentation was especially impressive, making each bowl feel less like a simple dish and more like a thoughtfully crafted work of art.

Menya Inoichi is one of Kyoto’s most popular ramen shops and a must-visit for many ramen lovers!

Its specialty is shoyu ramen made with a natural broth. The soup is light yet layered, with a fresh, subtly sweet, and mellow flavor in every sip, without feeling heavy. The noodles are springy and pleasantly chewy, while the tender chashu and fresh toppings create a beautifully balanced bowl.

The restaurant also provides a variety of natural seasonings, so you can adjust the flavor to your liking. There’s often a line, but once you try it, you’ll understand why it’s worth the wait. This is one of Kyoto’s most popular ramen spots and shouldn’t be missed.

Menya Inoichi offers signature ramen with either shoyu white or shoyu black broth. The ramen comes with ingredients like wagyu and shrimp—super tasty!
