Jiro-style
Ramen Jiro Fuchu
ラーメン二郎 府中店
The Fuchu branch of Ramen Jiro, three minutes from Fuchu Station's south exit: an eight-seat counter shop open weekday evenings only, with both ramen and tsukemen.
The bowl
Jiro-style ramen: thick noodles in a heavy pork and soy-sauce soup, topped with pork and vegetables. Free extras are requested by 'call'—garlic (ninniku), vegetables (yasai), extra seasoning (karame) and back fat (abura). Tsukemen versions are also on the menu.
How to order
Enter first, then buy your ticket inside. The machine gives no change and the house rule is to bring 1,000-yen notes, so break larger bills beforehand. The Tabelog menu (updated 2022, prices may differ) lists small (sho) and large (dai) ramen, buta-iri (extra pork) versions, an 'all-in' bowl and tsukemen. A half-noodle request is possible, but one bowl per person is recommended.
