For this reason, quite a number of ramen stores from other prefectures which penetrated Kyoto failed, because they set price-points without conducting market research or were unable to retain regular customers, reinforcing the point that business is difficult despite the population of the area which includes a government-orginance-designated city (this is seen not only in the ramen business, but a wide range of articles and services as well).
そのため他府県のラーメン店が京都に進出した際に事情を把握せず価格設定し、客が付かず閉店した例も少なくなく、政令指定都市を核に構える人口の割に、シビアといえる（京都における、この種の傾向は、ラーメンだけではなく多岐の商品、サービスに渡る）。
