About

Gion Duck Noodles hides halfway down a tiny lane off Shijo-dori next to the Hoshino Resorts hotel, and has become one of Gion's most popular meals with locals and visitors alike. Everything revolves around duck: a deep, aromatic broth, slices of pink duck chashu, and tsukemen served with berry or mikan citrus sauces for a fruity twist. Add the grape sansho pepper at the table. It is a Tabelog Ramen 100 pick and open daily from 11:00 to 21:30 with no reservations.
