Gion Shirakawa Ramen – Kyoto

If you are in Kyoto and fancy some delicious ramen, then Gion Shirakawa Ramen should definitely be on top of your list!

Located in a small shotengai, a local shopping street close to Yasaka Shrine in Higashiyama, the traditional district of Kyoto, you will find this small Ramen Restaurant, known especially for its authentic Miso Ramen. 

It is a small shop, bright, clean, and they have installed plexiglass dividers between seats to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Something I have not often seen in ramen shops often yet. Also, the staff is lovely and ready to help you to find the right buttons on the ticket selling machine. They also have an English menu, again another plus.

I recommend the spicy miso ramen for 900yen. It’s topped with a thick slice of juicy meat, salad greens, and as a surprise grated ginger. Getting a bite of that on its own might be a bit overpowering, so the secret is to mix it in with the creamy heavy broth little by little. I promise you it takes this already tasty bowl of ramen to a different level. Just the right amount of zing to give it the freshness it needs. This is one ramen you will want to lick the bowl after finishing it.

So if your in the mood for ramen in Kyoto then Gion Shirakawa Ramen is just the place to eat after a long day of exploring!
