    Menya Inoichi brews an animal-bone-free soup using Kagoshima bonito flakes, mackerel, flying fish, and Hokkaido kelp four minutes south of Kyoto-Kawaramachi Station. The clear soup arrives paired with paper-thin freshly shaved bonito ribbons and A5 wagyu or sea-scallop toppings. Fine Hokkaido wheat noodles glide across the tongue.
