This ramen restaurant is located in a narrow alleyway next to the Omo5 Kyoto Gion hotel. Upon entering, the Prussian blue bottles and glasses placed on the counter catch the eye as they're illuminated by the overhead lamps. Signature dishes include the Kamo Ramen (¥1,485) with a choice of duck loin or thigh, Kamo Tsukemen with Berry Sauce (¥1,650) and Kamo Tsukemen with Mandarin Orange Sauce (¥1,870). The use of sauces is a nod to the owner-chef’s French background.
The broth in the duck ramen has a rich flavour, while the thin wholemeal noodles made from German rye add a moreish twist. As a final touch, the rim of the bowl is sprinkled with fragrant grape pepper, lending a unique punchy flavour to every sip.
