About this spot
Tucked into the bustling Nishiki Market Area, Fumiya serves thick, chewy udon noodles that are significantly better than the standard tourist fare found elsewhere in Kyoto. The broth is rich and savory, perfectly complementing the simple but high-quality toppings of green onions and tempura.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'tsuyu' (soup base) separately to control the saltiness if you prefer a lighter bowl.
- Grab a seat at the counter to watch the chef hand-cut the noodles fresh right before serving.
- Eat quickly as the shop often runs out of stock by mid-afternoon due to high local demand.
