When in Kyoto, eat like the Kyotonese at Tenka Ippin. Although there are several locations across Japan and the World, nothing compares to slurping the potage-like ramen in its home city. I recommend going to their honten, but if you're in a hurry (like I was) this location is closest to Kyoto Station. You have two choices for soup base: Kotteri (thick) or Assari (light). Get the Kotteri! It's a thick, collagenous, high viscosity base made from chicken and vegetables. It's unlike any other!
From Kyoto Station take the Hachijo East exit and begin walking to your right. In 2 minutes you'll come to an intersection with the railways right above you. You should see Tenka Ippin on the corner. Open from 10:30am to 10:30pm and closed on Sundays.

Hi Keizo, finally a place where I ate at! Though I think I was closer to Kinkakuji? Had the very thick kotteri. I may not have commented recently but I've been making sure to check out all your awesome posts. Go Ramen! :)
ReplyDeleteHey Dennis! Yeah, they have these all over. I really wanted to try the honten but there's always next time...hopefully. Thanks for being such a loyal reader! Ditto with me and your site.
