Overview
For those who see ramen as a way of life, Kyoto offers a challenge like no other: two full bowls, back-to-back, in one outrageous tour.
The battleground is Kyoto Station’s “Ramen Koji,” where shops from across Japan serve tonkotsu, soy, miso, and tsukemen.
Your guide, a true ramen expert, leads you straight in. At the first shop, you’ll crush a bowl, then march to the next. The second is the breaking point: heavy tsukemen or miso broth that defeats the unprepared.
If you don’t come hungry, you will fail. Eat beforehand and you’ll leave noodles behind—a dishonor in ramen culture.
This is not casual tasting but a rite of passage. By the end, you won’t just be full—you’ll carry the pride of survival. Few attempt it, fewer finish, but those who do earn bragging rights in Kyoto’s ultimate ramen challenge.
