Kyoto, Japan｜Men-ya Yukou

My sis discovered this resto which was near to the Koyto International Manga Museum, so we intentionally visited there. . Four of us ordered the Hachiku. The broth was mild soup blended with various soy sauce and shellfish.The ramen was firm to the point and the charsiu pork was tender and smooth. The broth was clear but really savoury, making it not heavy to have. The egg yolk of the soft-boiled egg was runny too. My dad got Kurochiku. The broth was dark coloured soy sauce with wine, therefore it tasted heavier than ours. The yuzu in the ramen reduced the greasiness of the dish. The charsiu pork was huge. Additionally, my sis ordered Pork Rice Bowl too. She appreciated how the oil of the pork sipped into the rice, making the dish smell really nice. The pork was tasty and soft as well. . A really small resto which was separated into two floors. We waited for a while even we went there at around 1400. Super economical and yummy. Big chance to encore if I revisit Kyoto.

The shellfish broth here is very delicious and umami though a bit more on the salty side. I loved the limited char siu and soft boiled egg add-ons. The ramen noodles were perfectly al-dente. I couldn’t stop slurping them! I highly recommend this ramen bar! Service was prompt and friendly as well.

The ramen has been very delicious. The broth was great. I’m so sorry that I didn’t give the dish back into the counter. I didn’t see any sign like “返却口” but later on my Japanese friend told me that it’s a dining courtesy to give the plate back in and clear the table after oneself.
