Ukiya Hotel Okura Kyoto Branch

Ukiya Hotel Okura Kyoto is a branch inside Hotel Okura Kyoto in Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto, serving soba and tempura. Diners choose the buckwheat blend, such as shichisan, nihachi, or jūwari, and the noodles are thin and white. Guests with reservations at the hotel shop are sometimes seated right away, while at lunch reception is handled by a ticket machine in front of the shop. Even after the lunch hour many people wait, so going without a reservation means standing in line.
