"Gion Duck Noodles," widely known as a highly popular ramen shop with endless lines in Gion, Kyoto, has opened its doors inside the Asakusa Nishi-Sando Shopping Street, which is directly adjacent to Senso-ji Temple. The interior offers a stylish and calm atmosphere. The shop features a unique menu presentation that completely excludes words and communicates options solely through "emojis"—such as icons for ramen, tsukemen, and the specific fruits that define the flavor bases.
The signature "Duck Ramen" features a soup made by slowly simmering carefully selected duck meat and water only, resulting in a broth condensed with pure duck umami. It is paired with specially crafted rye noodles, meticulously designed to complement the soup. For the topping, savory duck chashu slices of both "loin" and "thigh meat" are beautifully arranged together. Furthermore, the ramen is enhanced with aromatic "Kishu Budo Sansho" (Japanese pepper), while the tsukemen is paired with a "berry sauce" or "mandarin orange sauce" that infuses a French culinary essence, allowing guests to enjoy a sophisticated evolution of flavors.
In Asakusa, this specialty shop allows you to experience the refined duck ramen techniques and unique worldview developed in Kyoto.
