About

This small Kyoto breakfast spot serves udon with a separate vegan broth, including seaweed-and-wasabi and Kujo green onion combinations; tofu and other toppings let you tailor the bowl. Guests describe the noodles as thinner than typical udon, with a light, savory broth, and mention a garden, quick counter service, and prices around ¥500–¥1,000.
