Yonakiya

Located in Otsuka, Yamashina Ward, Kyoto City, about a 10-minute walk from Higashino Subway Station, this long-established Chuka Soba specialty shop, over 30 years old, quietly stands on the first floor of an apartment building in a residential area. Its menu is refreshingly simple, offering only "Chuka Soba" and "Rice." This traditional Kyoto ramen features an animal-based soy sauce soup inherited from the previous generation, paired with thin straight noodles and a generous slice of simmered pork chashu. The menu is written vertically on the wall, and on the counter, you'll find large, homemade "Kinokawa-zuke" (Kishu daikon pickled radish) available for free and all-you-can-eat. If in stock, you might also be able to get soy-pickled garlic as a topping for your Chuka Soba. The shop operates only for lunch on weekdays (Tuesday to Friday) and closes early once ingredients run out. Please note that the interior has a nostalgic, local atmosphere, and payment is cash only.
