Ramen-ya (Ramen Shops in Kyoto/Arashiyama)

Hello Silke,

Please see the link below for a run down of some excellent ramen shops in Kyoto. Unfortunately, I don’t know of any ramen-ya in Arashiyama. Arashiyama is a real tourist destination and ramen is more the food that local residents eat. So, I suspect there aren’t much for red-hot ramen destinations there.

I checked Tabelog, which is a gourmet community site in Japan. I didn’t see anything too exciting in the Arashiyama area.

I think that you would want to try Sumashi Ramen at Takaraya (Ponto-cho location) and maybe Soy Milk Ramen at Mamezen Soba (but Mamezen is very often closed without notice).

Enjoy!
