Sakamichi - Sake delight / Teppen ramen

For sake connoisseurs nearby Kyoto University, there is Sakamichi. Run by an enthusiastic young owner, Koyama-san, there is sake for almost every palette. And nothing goes better with sake than sashimi which Koyama-san beautifully prepares. Love the wine glasses used for sake too.

Just 2 min east of Sakamichi is Teppen, famous for their Kyoto-style shio-ramen (salt stock ramen). The light broth is topped off generously with green onion and niku dango (meat balls). Not too overwhelming, nice way to end the evening.
