This Chinese restaurant has been loved by the locals for nearly 20 years, and is sold only for the four days of the Gion Festival. Filled with ingredients such as pork, shiitake mushrooms, mountain jellyfish, and bamboo shoots, the flavor is soaked into the chewy skin. Add a special soy sauce-based sauce with a sweet and salty taste and aroma that will whet your appetite and you'll be hooked. Don't wait in line to get the specialties of the Gion Festival, which are filled with wishes to ward off evil.

The soup is characterized by its rich flavor, which is made with fresh chicken bones and added with the udon soup stock from [Nakamoto Shokudo]. The rich aroma and flavor of green onion oil and green onion paste mixed with yuzu pepper combine with the smooth noodles to create a blissful harmony. The special soft pork belly chashu topping is also exquisite, so be sure to try it once for the authentic taste.

Authentic ramen filled with the commitment of chef Akihiro Nakamoto, who has studied in various places including Florence, is now available. The point of the taste is the aged soy sauce sauce made with the original blend. Combined with a soup made from fresh chicken stock with the richness of Japanese-style dashi stock, it's a gem that makes you feel nostalgic. The compatibility with straight thin noodles is outstanding, so you can finish it smoothly.

In April 2022, Ramen Touichi, which specializes in Kiyoyu ramen made with local chicken and raw soy sauce, will move to Shugakuin. This time, orders for chicken soy sauce dipping soba, which is popular at shops where lines are inevitable, have started. The special noodles that go well with the kombu water and kiage soy sauce dipping sauce have a chewy texture. First of all, I want you to taste it with only kombu water and be surprised when it goes down your throat.

Menya Isku, a famous chicken paitan restaurant, definitely recommends the thick chicken paitan ramen. The soup is simmered for 8 hours with 3 types of local chicken, including Nagoya Cochin chicken, and flavored vegetables, condensing the flavor of the chicken. With plenty of collagen and a not-too-rich creaminess, it's no surprise that it has many female fans. You won't be able to stop chopsticks if you try it with straight medium-thick noodles.
