Misonobashi Sakai
A long-established Chinese restaurant open for over 43 years in Omiya, Kita Ward. Famous throughout Kyoto as 'the place for cold noodles.' The cold noodles with roast pork — thick chewy noodles coated in a sesame-based sauce — draw a constant queue year-round. Selected for Tabelog Chinese WEST Top 100 in 2024. Popular enough to offer mail-order nationwide.
The cold noodles, described as a 'Kyoto summer tradition,' balance rich sesame sauce with chewy noodles perfectly. Many regulars say they 'never get tired of coming back.' Busy at lunch but fast turnover.
