This local ramen shop in Kyoto, Japan blew me away! Check out the map to locate the place. I found this noodle shop only because I stayed near the area and was looking for ramen places that was within walking distance. It was also about 10-11 PM so it was a late night snack. I was a bit nervous ordering on the vending machine as it was all in Japanese and none of the workers spoke English. I used the google translate app which helped a little though the translation was a bit off. For example, one of the options was translated to “mildew” which was certainly something I did not want in my bowl of ramen! Finally after making my selection, one of the workers came out to review my order and asked if I wanted thick or thin noodles and the bowl size. I opted for the thick noodles and a small bowl. I handed my order ticket from the vending machine to the chef when I entered the restaurant. The broth was a delicious fish broth with a bit of garlic served with diced red onions and green onions. The thick noodles tasted very fresh and was very long in length, doughy, and chewy — I loved it! All of this for about $7 USD!
