Experience the Taste of Kyoto at Menkiya Main Shop, the Holy Land of Ramen

Explore the History of Kyoto's Well-established Ramen Shop

Located in Minami, Kyoto, 'Menkiya Kyoto Minami Honshiten' is a renowned classic ramen shop representing Kyoto-style ramen. Since its establishment in 1958, its elegant flavor and delicate noodle-making have captured the hearts of many ramen enthusiasts. This traditional flavor continues to be passed down, making it a must-visit spot for travelers to Kyoto.

Encounter Exquisite Authentic Kyoto-Style Ramen

The signature menu at Menkiya is the 'Ramen,' featuring a refined soy sauce soup with the umami of chicken and pork. The thin homemade noodles and exquisite flavor harmony make it exquisite. In addition, the rich and flavorful 'Ramen Miso' made with lard and garlic, and the unique 'Ramen Curry' unique to Kyoto can be enjoyed, offering a variety of authentic Kyoto-style ramen.

Recommended Special Side Dishes

At Menkiya, the side dishes are as flavorful as the ramen. The tender and juicy chashu bowl and the substantial homemade gyoza are must-try delicacies. Furthermore, the fact that the shop is open until late at night is also a great point. A fragrant bowl of ramen can thoroughly soothe the tired body of tourists.

Came here to satisfy a late night ramen craving. I have to say it hit the spot, and it was at 1 in the morning! The tonkotsu broth is deep and flavourful. Much enjoyed. The meat is thin but soft and flavourful. The ajitsuke tamago is beautifully done but not particularly flavourful. The noodles left me wanting a bit more as they were too soft and did not have much bounce. Regardless, a good place to make a stop if hungry and nearby!

The ramen was very delicious. Rich broth and very nice and soft meat. Perfectly spiced. The noodles were very tasty. We also had the Gyoza's which I forgot to photograph, they were very nice to eat and good quality. English menu wasn't available which made ordering a bit more difficult, but Google Lens is a lifesaver in those instances. Would recommend this to anyone!
