My Trip

The home base of thick, oily 'Kyoto ramen,' the polar opposite of the clear Kyoto kaiseki image. Around Hyakumanben and Ichijoji, founding-era back-fat soy-sauce and ultra-rich chicken-paste ramen shops cluster within walking distance. The rule: don't eat all four — pick just two and come on an empty stomach.
