Honke Daiichi Asahi Takabashi Honten's ramen features a clear, soy-sauce-based broth and tenderly simmered pork slices, a signature Kyoto ramen flavor. The soup is made by slowly simmering pork bones and chicken carcasses, resulting in a rich, savory flavor. The pork slices are made with domestic pork and slowly simmered to concentrate the flavor. The flavor is quite strong.

They also offer mini ramen, so even if you're not hungry, this is a great choice for a morning ramen.

[Hidden Gem]
The neighboring Shinpuku Saikan Honten is popular for its richly seasoned Chinese noodles and fried rice.
