A quiet Kyoto noodle shop known for its refined kombu dashi and minimalist bowls that blur the line between ramen and udon.

MK Guide Recommends

Kombu-to-Men Kiichi offers a deeply Kyoto-inspired take on ramen—clean, focused, and rooted in dashi. The shop centers its bowls around high-quality kombu from Rishiri, blending umami-rich broths with house-made noodles that favor udon in texture but remain distinctly ramen in spirit. The space is simple and compact, with counter seating and a set daily rhythm that often sells out early. Toppings are restrained: yuba, seasonal greens, and soft-cooked chashu that doesn’t overpower the broth. It’s not fast food—it’s slow, deliberate comfort in a bowl. Bring cash and come early.
