Ramen no Bombo - Shichijo Main Shop — Restaurant in Kyoto

After a truly invigorating climb up the trails of Fushimi Inari, culminating in the 233-meter ascent of Mount Inari-san and the rewarding pilgrimage around the upper shrines, the exceptionally satisfying non-beef Ramen we enjoyed here was a welcome and delicious reward. This hike, undertaken on a beautiful April Sunday morning, proved to be one of the most captivating short walks around Kyoto and undoubtedly the best way to fully experience the entirety of the Fushimi-Inari Taisha Shrine. Descending around 7:30 am, we were already met by burgeoning streams of visitors and numerous organized tour groups, highlighting the popularity of this site.

The star of the show IMO was the spicy chicken karaage. Tip: the menu says that you can only order a full spicy karaage dish, but you can order a half size if you ask. I recommend a half size if you’re getting ramen as well. We waited about 10-15 minutes on a Thursday night to get in which wasn’t bad at all. The staff was really friendly and service was quick. I recommend this spot and would go...
