Ramen Muraji Kyoto Gion Honten
らーめん むらじ 京都祇園本店
Best for
Ramen Muraji operates inside a two-story traditional wooden machiya townhouse along a stone-paved lane in Kyoto's Gion district. Founded by a female ramen chef, the kitchen simmers domestic chicken bones for ten hours until the collagen emulsifies into an opaque white broth. The signature Lemon Ramen layers freshly sliced lemon rounds over the creamy poultry soup, cutting the rich chicken fat with tart citrus acidity. Firm straight noodles and tender chicken chashu finish each bowl.
Order this: Lemon Ramen (檸檬らーめん) & White Tori Paitan (鶏白湯 白)
Good to know: Remove the lemon slices onto the side dish after two minutes to prevent bitter rind oils from overpowering the broth. Located near the Shirakawa canal in Gion. Walk-ins welcome, but weekend lunch queues form quickly. English menus available.
