Menya Gokkei Ichijoji

This popular shop, located in Kyoto's Ichijoji ramen battleground, operates under the concept of 'eating soup.' Their ultra-rich chicken paitan, so thick that a ramen ladle can stand upright in it, offers a truly unique experience found nowhere else. Upon serving, customers are instructed to 'please stir from the bottom before eating,' as this unique method is the shop's established way of enjoying their ramen. The menu offers a rich variety, including Toridaku (extra chicken), Ebidaku (extra shrimp), and Kurodaku (black garlic oil). Adding a little soy sauce tare from the table further enhances the flavor with increased depth and sharpness. The Tamago Kake Gohan (TKG) set is also popular, and rice refills are free.
