Shinfuku Saikan Chuka Soba
The moment it is served, you are surprised by the incredibly black soup. However, contrary to its appearance, it isn't overly salty; instead, a mellow umami seeps in. Shinfuku Saikan was founded in 1938. It is said to be one of the oldest specialized chuka soba shops in Kyoto. Its origins trace back to when Mr. Xu Yong-mu, who migrated from China, started a food stall near Kyoto Station with his wife. At a time when chuka soba was still a rarity, they say they could barely sell five bowls a day. That black soup comes from the color of aged dark soy sauce, featuring a deep flavor where the umami of chicken bones and pork meld together. Their black-colored fried rice is also one of their specialties. It is a classic taste that makes you want to line up all over again once you've had it.
