Gojo izakaya with excellent noodles to finish [Kakuuchi to menmen (角うちと麺) Banzan]

The restaurant’s signature menu item is a noodle dish themed “Sake-no Ato Men (Noodles After Sake That Lead to Tomorrow). It features a healthful soup blended with bonito, chicken stock, shijimi clam, and clam broth that is perfect for the end of a night of drinking. There are two types of noodles available: ramen noodles made by Kondo Seimen, a long-established noodle shop in Kyoto, and hand-pulled Handa Somen, so you can choose according to your mood that day.

Ramen: 1,200 yen for a regular serving. It is topped with chicken breast chashu pork cooked at low temperature to tenderness and artisanal shinjo. Ramen noodles are thin and somen noodles are thick and firm.

The snack menu on the blackboard features exquisite choices to tickle the fancy of sake drinkers, such as whale bacon shipped directly from Nagasaki Prefecture, duck tataki, and homemade water kimchi. ［The first floor also has a standing drinking counter, so it can be used for a variety of occasions.
