Kyoto, Japan｜Miyako Soba - Shijo

Absolutely loved this place. The simple standing noodle bar is such a great place for simplicity at its best. Had their awesome Udon noodle soup, which was also very cheap for the quality you get. The friendly chef behind the counter was also charming and welcoming.

Why can't America have more shops like this? For less than the price of a greasy disgusting Big Mac in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave™ you get a bowl of warm soba with delicious broth and freshly cooked fish in 30 seconds. I would give this place 10 stars if I could.

Unassuming stand-up noodle shop in the bustling hustling Nishiki area that you could walk right by (but shouldn’t). Great homey atmosphere with fast service and yummy noodles on top of great pricing. Go support these folks (the fact that they don’t price gouge speaks volumes) they deserve it!
