Noodles are not overly emphasized in due to the fact that enjoying the soup is strongly emphasized with ramen as well as other noodles, and a majority of well-established, long-established, and popular stores purchase noodles from noodle-making factories instead of making noodles in the store, a trend which is seldom seen in stores specializing in ramen in other prefectures.
また、京都では、ラーメンに限らず麺類は出汁を楽しむという意識が強いのか、麺はどうも後回しになってる感が強く、ラーメンでも、名店、老舗、人気店と呼ばれるラーメン専門店の大半が製麺所の麺を使っており、自家製麺の店はほとんど無いという、他府県のラーメン専門店ではあまり見られない傾向がある。
