Musoshin Gion: Affordable Black Sesame Ramen Near Yasaka Shrine
Musoshin's Gion branch is an affordably priced ramen shop within walking distance of Yasaka Shrine and the Shijo area, known locally for its Gion kuro-soba, a ramen made with black sesame. The black sesame gives the broth a rich, nutty flavor that sets it apart from standard shoyu or tonkotsu ramen. Standard add-ons such as ajitama (seasoned egg) topping and chashu men round out the menu, and prices are easy on the wallet for a quick stop between sightseeing. Since the Gion area is also home to many higher-end restaurants, this shop is worth remembering as a more casual, budget-friendly option nearby.
