Shinpuku Saikan Akihabara

This is the Akihabara branch of a venerable ramen shop that began as a street stall in front of Kyoto Station in 1938. Its most distinctive feature is the jet-black soup, crafted with chicken bones and the rich umami of pork, finished with aged dark soy sauce. Despite its dark appearance, the soup is surprisingly mild in saltiness and easy to drink. The ramen is generously topped with Kujo green onions, bean sprouts, and thinly sliced chashu pork. A popular choice is the set meal featuring their famous fried rice. The restaurant accepts e-money and QR code payments, and with 26 seats, you can enjoy your meal in a relatively spacious and relaxed setting.
