"Menya EDITION" opened its flagship store in Kyoto's "Shichijo Station" area, known as a "ramen battleground," on May 1, 2024 (Wed).

New Menu "Chicken Salt Clam Ramen" and Ogoto Branch Exclusive "Thick-Cut Char Siu" Debut - Popular Jiro-style Ramen "Edi-ro" Also Available at Flagship Store -

- "Chicken Salt Clam Ramen" (New Product): Condenses the flavors of chicken and clams.

This is a masterpiece with a rich soup made by slowly simmering Kyoto red chicken, layered with the elegant umami of clams. It maximizes the natural flavors of the ingredients, creating a delicate and profound taste that makes you want to drink every last drop.

- Ogoto Branch Exclusive "Thick-Cut Char Siu Menu" Debuts (New Product):

The Ogoto Branch has developed a store-exclusive char siu menu for the first time at Menya EDITION. As a special specification not available at the flagship store, we offer a satisfyingly thick-cut char siu.

This limited-time menu is a must-try for meat lovers, allowing you to fully enjoy the natural flavor and satisfaction of the meat.

- Signature Product "Dark Side" using charred black soy sauce (Main Product):

"Dark Side" is the main product at the Ogoto Branch, made with charred black soy sauce. It is characterized by its fragrant aroma and deep richness, with a solid umami spreading from the first bite. As a rare authentic charred soy sauce ramen in the Kosei area, it offers a new experience for ramen fans.

- Jiro-Inspired Ramen "Edi-ro" for Hearty Eaters (Popular Product):

This is Menya EDITION's original Jiro-style ramen, which has been popular since its introduction at the flagship store. The theme is "Introduction to Jiro." Since there are no Jiro-style calls, you can order by simply choosing the noodle portion size, making it easy for Jiro-style ramen beginners to order.

The noodles are thick, curly noodles from Kyoto noodle maker "Menya Teigaku," resulting in a punchy ramen.

Product Commitment - Noodles and Soy Sauce from Kondo Seimen, Favored by Strong Kyoto Ramen Shops, Char Siu from Kyoto Brand Pork, "Kujo Negi" from Contract Farmers -

1 Use of Noodles and Soy Sauce from Kondo Seimen, Favored by Strong Kyoto Ramen Shops

We use noodles and soy sauce from Kondo Seimen, favored by strong Kyoto ramen shops. Kondo Seimen's noodles are characterized by their hard, low-hydration texture without preservatives. The flavor of the wheat flour is directly reflected, and the noodles cling well to the soup. The soy sauce has a traditional light flavor, creating a soup that pairs perfectly with rich pork fat.

2 Use of Fresh "Kujo Negi" Directly Shipped from a Local Large Kujo Negi Farm

We use fresh "Kujo Negi" from Hidei Co., Ltd., which operates a large Kujo Negi farm locally. The Kujo Negi, with its concentrated aroma and sweetness, also has a flavor that subtly changes with the seasons. It has a soft flavor in spring, a crisp spiciness in summer and autumn, and its sweetness increases further from January to February when it is in season. We generously use such fresh Kujo Negi in our ramen.

3 Char Siu from Kyoto Brand Pork "Kodanba Kogen Pork," Winner of the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award at the Western Japan Pork Carcass Competition

"Kodanba Kogen Pork" is raised in the Tamba Highlands, with its extreme temperature differences, which brings out the natural deliciousness of the pork. By feeding them feed mixed with half bread, the pork has a light and vibrant color, sweetness, and soft marbling.
