🍜 Menya Gokujiki®︎

Menya Gokkei is located on Higashidōri, known as the "Ichijōji Ramen Street," a top-tier battleground for ramen shops in Kyoto. Although it serves ramen, the broth is as thick as a creamy soup, and its rich yet refreshing flavor makes it addictive, capturing the hearts of diners. The signature chicken white broth is so thick that a spoon can stand upright in the bowl, described as "soup you can eat." This delicious and visually appealing ramen attracts both Japanese and international travelers. The most popular dish, "Chicken Daku (鷄だく)" ramen, features thick slices of meat paired with an ultra-rich, cloudy chicken white broth. The broth is dense and creamy, giving the impression that it is meant to be eaten rather than drunk, yet it is surprisingly smooth and not overwhelming. The medium-thick noodles have a chewy and firm texture, perfectly complemented by shredded white scallions and large pieces of bamboo shoots. Other offerings include the "Red Daku (赤だく)" with plenty of chili powder, the "Black Daku (黒だく)" made with homemade sesame oil, and the "Ebi Daku (海老だく)" which has a sweet shrimp flavor, leaving diners eager to return and try other flavors.
