About this spot
In the historic Gion district, Gontaro Shijo Honten serves piping hot bowls of cold udon and soba that are so flavorful they defy their chilled temperature. Order the fried soba with watercress salad to cut through the richness, or try the ten-toji for a premium tempura experience without breaking the bank.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order cold noodles in summer and warm versions in winter to match Kyoto's seasonal eating customs.
- Ask for extra pickles on the side if you want to brighten up the savory broth flavors.
- The fried soba with watercress salad is surprisingly refreshing and pairs perfectly with a glass of beer.
