Kyoto in 2020 is about to undergo major changes, incorporating the new, while paying tribute to its history. This city, which is in a constant state of renewal, is always full of omoroi (interesting things).

02 GOURMET The yakisoba boom sweeping Kyoto.

The clear broth, the slippery and beautiful yuba leaves, the back fatty chacha type of thick soup that makes your chopsticks stand on end. The culinary culture of the ancient capital is as rich and varied as its history. Kyoto is currently experiencing an unprecedented "yakisoba" boom. It may be the king of B-class gourmet food, but the yakisoba that has the city buzzing with excitement is something different. The thick, chunky noodles, the fragrant sauce and the bright red ginger scarf that accentuates the noodles. Such a dignified appearance is as elegant as the man who strolls the streets.

Yakisoba Stand By Me Noodles and sauces are a temptation that attracts people in town.

Sauce Fried Noodles ¥750 in TAX

The yakisoba noodles are made in house, and are out of this world!　The slightly sweet sauce with a hint of dashi (Japanese soup stock), the noodles, and fresh vegetables purchased from contracted farmers combine to create a trinity that is sure to keep your chopsticks going up and down. If you go through the door of this restaurant, it would be best to have both the sauce and the salt version with a hungry stomach.

Yakisoba Specialty Ten Attention Kamogawa couples. Kiss the sauce.

Yakisoba noodles with sauce (pork) ¥750+TAX

Specialty Ten opened in 2020 with the full intention of "bringing yakisoba to more townspeople" by offering the same yakisoba that was well-received at Jin, a teppan-yaki and okonomiyaki restaurant established 14 years ago. While there are two types of seasonings (salt and sauce) and a variety of toppings to choose from, we selected the orthodox sauce yakisoba (pork). The thin noodles are well coated with a secret sauce made from a blend of several local Kyoto sauces, and the aroma of the mellow sauce tickles your nostrils. Located close to the Kamo River, take-out is also recommended. Sipping it on the elegant riverbank is a hip way to enjoy it.
