Ramen Jiro: the pilgrimage
Thick noodles, a mountain of vegetables, and a call you have to get right.
Ramen Jiro serves enormous bowls: very thick noodles in a heavy pork-and-soy broth, thick slices of pork, and a pile of bean sprouts and cabbage. Portions are large — even a "small" is a big meal.
How ordering works: buy a ticket at the machine, hand it over, and wait. When your bowl is nearly ready, staff ask whether you want garlic. That's your cue to call the free toppings: ninniku (garlic), yasai (more vegetables), abura (back fat), karame (stronger seasoning). Say only what you want, e.g. "Ninniku yasai". If you want nothing extra, say "Sono mama".
There are five branches in this guide's area: Sengawa, Fuchu, Tachikawa, Hibarigaoka and Hitotsubashi-Gakuen. Each branch runs its own way, so check the shop page before you go.
