Ramen Ten

Located in Nishino, Yamashina-ku, Kyoto City, about a 10-minute walk from Higashino Subway Station, this long-established Kyoto ramen shop has been loved by locals for over 30 years. It serves a bowl dubbed "The Kyoto Ramen," featuring an animal-based soy sauce soup with a distinct pork aroma, characteristic of the Daiichi Asahi/Ramen Fuji lineage (Asahi-kei), paired with medium-fine to fine straight noodles from Kondo Seimen. Prices are a major draw due to excellent value: a single ramen is 750 yen, Set A (Ramen + Karaage + Rice) is 950 yen, and Set C (Ramen + Gyoza) is 1,150 yen. Customizations like extra vegetables and noodle firmness are free, and kimchi is self-service and all-you-can-eat. The menu, displayed vertically on the wall, gives a strong local feel, and the shop is characterized by its many unique in-store rules, such as "one seat per person," "table sharing is allowed," and "water and kimchi are self-service."
