Kyoto Ramen Koji is a ramen theme floor on the tenth level of Kyoto Station's Isetan department store wing, housing nine independent ramen restaurants representing different regional styles -- Kyoto chicken soy, Sapporo miso, Hakata tonkotsu, Tokyo shoyu -- competing for customers in adjacent stalls. It is an unsubtle format but a genuinely useful one: each restaurant is independent and produces its local style accurately.
Recommended for travellers who want to compare regional ramen styles in a single meal, or who arrive at Kyoto Station too late for more atmospheric options. The Kyoto-style chicken and vegetable broth is the one to eat here.
