Menya Jisuri
A rare shrimp soba specialty restaurant in the Kansai region. The signature double soup — creamy broth from chicken and pork bones combined with rich dashi from large quantities of sweet shrimp — is one of a kind. 'You rarely encounter noodles coated in this level of rich shrimp dashi.' Lines form even on weekdays. Reopening after owner's hospitalization in 2024 confirmed.
Tabelog 3.59/416 reviews, TripAdvisor #3 in Kizugawa (4.7 rating), Retty 53 reviews. So popular that regulars share tips like 'if there's still soup left, they're open.' Long queues on Saturdays, moderate queues on weekdays. Introduced as 'best ramen' on multiple Nara and Kyoto food blogs. No negative information in 2025.
