Staff:The staff consists of the well-known “Baba Oyaji” Hiroshi, the owner, and his assistants. The operation is kind but strict.

Spices on the table:On the table, there are soy sauce-based seasoning, pepper, ichimi chili pepper, coarsely ground chili pepper, Sichuan pepper, and red vinegar.

Cutlery on the table:There are no soup spoons, only disposable chopsticks. Tissues and business cards are not provided.

BGM:The background music is lo-fi hip-hop.

Free Toppings:Toppings are standard Jiro-style, but “katame” (firmer noodles) and “mashimashi” (extra portions) are not allowed.

At the Nishidai store, the owner closely manages the queue inside the shop, so please pay attention. Also, you can only purchase a meal ticket when your spot in the line reaches the front of the ticket machine. There are posted instructions outside about queue formation, so be sure to read them while waiting in line outside.


“Ramen(Free toppings are vegetables and back fat)”

Noodle:The noodles are flat and thick, but slightly thinner than usual and slightly curly. They are cooked to a medium firmness, perfectly balanced—not too soft and not too firm. The portion size is among the largest even by Jiro standards, making it a high-volume serving.

Char-siu Pork:The pork matches the volume of the noodles with large, thick cuts typical of Jiro-style. Despite its thickness, the pork has a moderate firmness—neither too dry nor too tender.

Soup:The broth is lightly emulsified, with about 80% soy sauce taste and 20% emulsification, offering a well-balanced broth.

Boiled vegetables:The vegetables consist of about 80% bean sprouts and 20% cabbage, with a slightly crunchy texture.

Garlic:The garlic is small but delivers a sharp, spicy kick.
