The lively atmosphere, enhanced by the owner's cheerful welcome, is one of its attractions.

Despite its slightly rich broth, the sweetness of the chicken stock and the fragrant sweetness of soy sauce maintain a perfect balance. Surprisingly refreshing in taste, it pairs well with straight noodles.
Both its appearance and taste exude elegance, more akin to soba than ramen. The rich sea bream broth is accented with sakura shrimp, ending with a spoonful of rice for a finish reminiscent of hot pot stews.
In addition to ramen, the side menu is comprehensive, with the egg rice being especially popular, creating repeat customers. The other side dishes also receive high praise, tempting you to recommend them to friends.
Operating as a ramen shop during the day and turning into an izakaya at night, it offers different pleasures depending on the time of day. You can enjoy delicious ramen and drinks in a relaxed setting.
It’s a storied establishment worth visiting, whether sightseeing in Kyoto or for locals, offering a warming bowl of ramen. Why not experience the exceptional ramen and heartfelt hospitality at 'Menya Ishizue'?
