PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
Nobel ValeI was fortunate to check out Nishiki Market while I was over in Kyoto for a short time. I got to go around and try a few of their street food. I saw this little octopus that has a quail egg inside a few times.. so I had to end up trying it. A nice little snack!
2. 麺屋 さん田
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Nobel ValeThe last bowl of ramen I got to try in Kyoto was this Tori Paitan Tsukemen. Apparently the broth does not have much added other than the chicken, which is amazing considering the immense flavor and thickness of this broth. With no additives or MSG added, the ramen chef here definitely puts a lot of tender love and care in his dishes. He makes all the ramen by himself, and that is detectable by the taste. As you see from when I lifted the noodles, that broth sticks right to them in a perfect way to get that great taste and concentrated flavor of chicken in that small amount of broth!
3. Yakiniku Hiro (Kyoto-ekimae branch)
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Nobel ValeWhen you do not know what to get, just the the platter and have a little of everything! This Japanese style BBQ, Yakiniku was great here. So much delicious meat, and we even got some "beef sushi". The meat just kept on coming!
4. Ginjo Ramen Kubota
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Nobel ValeThanks to a person I met through IG @mrramen4 who loves trying all the ramen in this area , I was able to meet him in person and try his favorite ramen shop in Kyoto! I tried their Miso Tsukemen and wow this was sooooooo good! The flavor of the broth was excellent and it just sticks on those noodles! Even after the meal they made me a small bowl of their "experimental ramen" which also was another style of miso ramen. So so good and you can take a little walk from Kyoto station to get there. I recommend it!
5. Sushi bar Naritaya すし成田屋
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Nobel ValeOne of the first times I had sushi during this trip to Japan. Just a nice little platter with some options like fatty tuna, salmon, eel, uni, and salmon roe. It is great that good sushi in general is all around!
6. Ramen Toritani
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Nobel ValeThe first meal I had when getting to Kyoto was simple, yet awesome ramen! It had some char siu chicken and pork with noodles that had a buttery taste to it. I really enjoyed the noodles here and overall taste. I felt you also get a generous portion for the price. I also got a small side dish, a buttered rice dish with chicken and roast beef. SO delish too! The menu is written down on the table (in Japanese), but I knew which one I wanted ahead of time. With the light broth, that made me slurp every last bit of soup without any regrets!
