Ramen Touhichi: Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Ramen Touhichi best for?
Ramen Touhichi suits diners who want a chicken-based shoyu bowl rather than the pork-bone tonkotsu style found at many Kyoto counters. It is built around free-range chicken dashi and raw soy sauce kaeshi rather than a rich, cloudy broth.
Why is Ramen Touhichi considered a top Kyoto ramen shop?
It has been listed in the Michelin Bib Gourmand guide for seven consecutive years since 2017 and carries the designation again in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide Japan. That kind of repeat recognition is uncommon for a ramen counter.
Has Ramen Touhichi always been in the same location?
No, the shop relocated to a new site and kept its Bib Gourmand status after the move, according to restaurant directory reporting.
Is Ramen Touhichi only known locally?
It has also been selected as one of Japan's Top 100 Ramen shops, a ranking that extends its reputation beyond Kyoto.
