Kyoto Backfat Soy Sauce Ramen

Kairikiya's signature product, the 'Kyoto Backfat Soy Sauce Ramen,' features a richly aromatic 'aged soy sauce tare' made by blending several types of soy sauce, an 'ultimate broth' crafted from carefully selected chicken bones and high-quality pork backfat, firm 'medium-thin straight noodles,' and thinly sliced 'specialty chashu' slowly simmered in the aged soy sauce tare.

It offers a subtle yet deeply flavorful and rich taste that remains satisfying even with daily consumption, evoking a nostalgic and comforting flavor profile.
