Ganso Ramen Daiei

Located immediately at the Kawaramachi Marutamachi intersection, on the east side of Kyoto Gyoen, is this traditional *shoyu ramen* (ramen with a soy sauce-flavored broth) shop. Its specialties are its clear *chintan*-style (clear soup style) *tonkotsu shoyu* (pork bone and soy sauce) broth, medium-thin straight noodles, and *chashu* (braised pork slices) cut fresh with a slicer for each order. Even a regular ramen comes with a surprising amount of *chashu*, while the *chashumen* (ramen with extra *chashu*) is piled even higher. The *yakimeshi* (fried rice) set is also popular, a genuine dish fragrantly finished with lard. The menu is simple, consisting of just two types of ramen – *shoyu* (soy sauce) and *miso* (soybean paste) – along with *yakimeshi*. Orders are placed verbally after being seated. You can also specify your noodle firmness. Enjoy *ajishen* (flavor enhancement) with the *nira* (garlic chives) and *ninniku* (garlic) available on the table. Both lunch and dinner hours are short, and the shop closes once sold out. The evening session closes early at 6 PM, so for dinner, it's recommended to arrive around 3 PM.

1. **Before Entering (If there's a line)** There may be a line during peak lunchtime hours. If there is a line, please join it behind the other customers. 2. **Ordering** After being seated, please tell your order verbally to the staff. You can specify the noodle firmness (e.g., "Katamé" for firm), and also order the popular fried rice set. Payment is cash only. 3. **Seating & Receiving Your Order** Your ordered ramen will be brought to your seat. Once your food is served, please begin your meal. 4. **Other** On the table, you'll find chives (nira), garlic, and red pickled ginger (beni shoga) to customize your ramen's flavor.
