What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Nestled in an alley between Kiyamachi and Pontocho, this is the sacred spot for late-night ramen in Kyoto. Known for Kyoto black style pork bone-soy broth with Kujo green onions. Long cherished by locals as the perfect way to end a night out. Two direct locations only.

After drinking on Kiyamachi, this is the only choice for a final bowl. Never get tired of this flavor. 677 Tabelog reviews, score 3.56.
