Ramen restaurant • Japan, 〒606-8113 Kyoto, Sakyo Ward, Ichijōji Higashisuginomiyachō, １８−１ 杉ノ宮ビル １F
'Bishiya', standing in the peaceful streets of Ichijoji, Kyoto, exudes a nostalgic atmosphere of the Showa era in its old wooden structure. The scent of the rich soup, which cannot be imagined from the old wooden storefront, entices passersby.
When you step inside, you'll be greeted by the rich aroma of the pork bone soup mingled with the deep fragrance of wood and the umami of lard and garlic. The seemingly plain and murky soup actually has an excellent compatibility with Awajishima soy sauce. The gentle saltiness and subtle sourness serve as accents, spreading a rich umami in your mouth.
Pay attention to the chewy thick noodles floating in the soup. The firm texture and smoothness of the throat leave a lasting impression of deliciousness until the last bite. Furthermore, the texture and flavor of abundant toppings such as chashu, spinach, seaweed, and wood ear mushrooms serve as accents, resulting in an irresistible taste.
The set menu, designed for the compatibility with ramen, comes with freshly fried juicy chicken. The outside is crispy and fragrant, while the inside is moist and full of flavor. The exquisite combination with the spicy sauce is perfect for a snack when you're a little hungry.
The 'Bishiya,' a specialty of Ichijoji, is set at a reasonable price. The charm lies in the casual enjoyment of the taste of a long-established ramen shop in Kyoto. The fusion of solid culinary skills and a relaxing space makes it an adult's hidden retreat, perfectly suited for the leisurely atmosphere of Ichijoji.
