Men-ya Iroha

Menya Iroha is a ramen shop near Kyoto Station that serves black ramen and green onion ramen in a rich soy sauce broth. The curly noodles come with chashu and a soy sauce-based egg, and diners change the flavor by adding pepper and house-made rayu. The shop opens at 11 a.m., so customers can enter right at opening, and gyoza and rice are ordered alongside. The soy sauce broth is salty for Korean palates, so drinking a lot of it tastes overly salty.
