    Located along quiet residential alleys near Karasuma-Oike, Takakura Nijou pioneered roasted whole-wheat noodle crafting in Kyoto. The noodles emit a nutty, grain-forward fragrance, dipped into a balanced seafood and pork broth. Diners can select tender braised wagyu beef offal (motsu) as their protein topping.
