Gonta

Gonta is a neighbourhood restaurant near Eikando Zenrinji and the Philosopher's Path in Kyoto, serving udon, tonkatsu and curry rice. Its menu includes curry udon and sujiniiku udon in a clear, rich broth, along with tempura bowls and onigiri. People stop in for a meal before or after the Eikando night maple viewing or after a walk along the Philosopher's Path, and sometimes order udon and tonkatsu together. The noodles have a soft, kalguksu-like texture rather than a chewy one.
