After checking out the Kyoto Railway Museum in Umekoji-koen Park, this restaurant is the perfect place to refuel. There’s a wide variety of ramen on offer and the picture menu makes ordering a snap.
One of the restaurant’s most famous dishes is the “dry” tantanmen, which are spicy noodles served without soup (Y900). If that doesn’t sound good, there are plenty of more conventional types of ramen available.
