11. Opened on September 12, 2024] A must-try for lovers of thick ramen! Mild Tonkotsu Soy Sauce Ramen at Menya To Toei Ruizu in Kyoto's Shijo-Omiya

This ramen restaurant was established in the Shijo-Omiya area, where new restaurants are opening one after another. The soup is made from pork bones from Kyoto's brand-name pork, Kyoto Poku, and cooked with several kinds of vegetables and chicken. The soup is so creamy that it is easy to recognize, but it is not cloying and has a mild and gentle taste.

Thick Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen at Menya Tochirouji

The thick Tonkotsu Soy Sauce (1,000 yen) uses the medium-thick straight noodles of Menya Egbe, which were carefully selected for their balance with the broth. The store's special soy sauce gives depth to the pork bone soup.

<Editor M's recommendation.
It is just so delicious that you will want to drink up the soup. Not only the flavor of Kyoto poke and chicken, but also the sweetness of vegetables makes it possible for even women to finish the dish with great relish. I personally prefer the thinly sliced menma, which is against the era of extra-thick menma. You can eat them with noodles and enjoy their texture.

12. Conca" opened on September 19, 2024, and offers a relaxing lunchtime drink along the river with dim sum as your entrée.

The owner, Mr. Nakamoto, who has honed his skills as a chef for many years, offers mainly dim sum such as shaomai. The restaurant's comfortable location with the swaying greenery of the Takano River beyond the windows is popular with customers with children, who can also enjoy a lunchtime drink. The restaurant uses ingredients that are gentle to the body, such as vegetables grown naturally and organically.

The chicken miso sansho, made with Tanba chicken and white miso paste, has a thin skin, while the shiitake mushrooms have a thick skin to match their robust flavor, and the black rice has a skin made from the ingredients themselves.

<Editor's S. Recommendations
In a stylish space away from the hustle and bustle of the city, you can spend a relaxing time while enjoying dim sum and drinks during the day. The dishes are made to look gorgeous, and the dim sum is a unique experience that is hard to find anywhere else.
