5 of these places are in Karasuma and Kawaramachi
Kyoto ramen runs richer than its delicate reputation suggests, built on dark, fatty broths. Honke Daiichi Asahi and Shinpuku Saikan Honten are the old-guard names near the station, while Menya Inoichi works a cleaner, white-soy style around Karasuma-Kawaramachi. The Kyoto Ramen Koji food hall inside the station, with bowls from Mensho Takamatsu, gathers several styles under one roof for the indecisive.
