Mendokoro Janomeya

Mendokoro Janomeya is a renowned chicken ramen (tori-soba) shop, recognized with a Michelin Bib Gourmand selection, led by a chef trained in French cuisine. Their signature "Jidori Soba" features a clear soup, prepared solely with local chicken and water, then blended with several varieties of raw soy sauce. The amber-hued, transparent broth offers a concentrated chicken umami while leaving a remarkably clear aftertaste. In addition to the clear-broth options, they also offer a rich chicken paitan (white soup) and kombu-water tsukemen. As standard, you can enjoy three types of chashu: chicken breast, pork loin, and pork thigh. Their monthly limited-edition ramen is also highly acclaimed. Located on the 2nd floor of the Hanayu Koji Building in Shijo Kawaramachi, it's nestled in a back-alley spot that can be a little tricky to find. Orders are taken verbally, and payment is accepted via cash or PayPay.
