Menya Gokkei (Ichijoji Honten) 麺屋 極鶏 一乗寺本店

Ichijoji's most famous queue: "dakuku" chicken broth so thick it behaves like gravy, in plain, red (spicy), black (garlic) and fish versions.

About

Gokkei opened in 2011 and pushed Kyoto's love of rich chicken soup to its limit. The signature tori-dakuku is a chicken broth reduced until it is closer to a sauce than a soup, clinging to every noodle; red adds chili, black adds black garlic oil, and the fish and shrimp deluxe versions add seafood. It is a Tabelog Ramen 100 regular with nearly 3,000 reviews and lines of students and tourists outside on the Ichijoji ramen street.

Highlights

• Ultra-thick tori-dakuku chicken broth
• Red, black, fish and shrimp variations
• Egg-on-rice set to mop up the soup
• Tabelog Ramen 100
• Ichijoji ramen street

Tips

• Come by Eizan Railway: no bicycles or motorbikes on the premises
• Closed Mondays
• Try the red version if you like heat
• Order rice to finish the leftover broth
