Ramen Touhichi

Ramen Touhichi in Kyoto holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand and is unusual in Kyoto ramen for refusing any pork. The broth is made entirely from free-range chicken, simmered long enough to produce a clear, golden shoyu soup with considerable depth. It is a refined, precise bowl that reflects Kyoto's tendency toward restraint. The noodles are thin and the toppings include chicken chashu and a soft-boiled egg. Lines form at lunch. Dinner service tends to be slightly easier to walk into.
