I went to eat the special menu for the second anniversary of the ramen shop in Saiin 🍜

The place is called "Men-do KATAJIKENAI," and it's located right by Saiin Station on the Hankyu Kyoto Line and the Arashiyama Line 🚃

The interior is stylish and has only counter seating ✨

We enjoyed a course-style meal ✨
