Ramen Jiro Kabukicho Shop @ Shinjuku Ramen [¥850] Ajitama [¥100] - Visit Date: May 15, 2023, Monday, 19:49~ - Nearest Station: Seibu-Shinjuku Station - Business Hours: 11:30~2:30 - Closed on Wednesdays This time, I visited Ramen Jiro after a long time! ✨ I arrived just before 8:00 pm, and there was a line of about 15 people extending from inside the store. Initially, we had to wait outside, but eventually, we were able to enter the store and purchase meal tickets. As soon as you enter the store, there is a ticket vending machine on the left and a water dispenser next to it. While waiting in line, everyone was filling their cups with water and placing a ladle inside, which was quite surprising in a way. Around the first half of the line, they ask you to show your meal ticket up high! Here, they ask for your preferences on noodle quantity and firmness, and give instructions on how to fold the ticket! Then, you just have to wait for a seat to become available and be guided to it. When it comes to Ramen Jiro, there's the call system! You can customize your order with free toppings like extra vegetables, garlic, fat, and spiciness, so when they ask for your preferences, you can request what you want. This time, I just ordered garlic with the call system, and the Wasyi Wasyi noodles were delicious as always!! There's usually a long line, so I often end up giving up, but it's something I want to eat occasionally. There was a notice at the ticket vending machine about the opening of the Ikuta Shop ✨ ※ This is just my personal impression #RamenJiro #KabukichoShinjuku #KabukichoGourmet #ShinjukuGourmet #SeibuShinjuku #CallSystem #Ramen #ramen #ramenlover #noodlestagram #RamenTour #WantToConnectWithRamenLovers

I came after a long time. It seems like we no longer need to wear masks. Around 10 people were waiting at 1:00 PM on a weekday. I ordered the Yasai Abura. The taste of the noodles is really unmatched compared to other shops. It seemed a bit light, so I added some Kaeshi from the tabletop. It was my first time adding it, so I didn't know there was also chili oil. It's in the same container as the Kaeshi, so I almost put the chili oil by mistake. Be careful ⚠️

I hadn't been to Jiro Kabukicho shop since 20 years ago. I mainly went to Jimbocho and Sakuradai branches. However, I heard that it had become more delicious based on word of mouth, so I felt like eating Jiro ramen again after a long time and visited the shop. There was someone waiting in front of me, and after a short wait, I was shown to my seat. Before me, the table had food spills and water drops from soup or water clearly on the chair. I remembered that this was typical of Jiro, thinking back to my student days. I looked for a tissue box in the store but couldn't find one, so I reluctantly asked the manager and a young employee if they had any tissues. They replied, "We don't have tissues in the store." I searched my bag but had used up all the tissues, so I stood there awkwardly for a while, not knowing what to do. Ignoring me completely while I stood there unnaturally, I finally asked, "Excuse me, the chair is dirty, do you have something to wipe it with?" They pointed at a dirty cloth and said, "Use this." I wiped the chair reluctantly and returned to the table. The presence or absence of tissues seems to depend on the restaurant... After a while, the Jiro ramen, which could also be called "Jiro," arrived. I had almost forgotten, but it seemed to have become more delicious than before. I read comments saying it was beginner-friendly, and my impression was that it was a "straightforward Jiro" - the meat was not too fatty and easy to eat. I almost finished eating all of it, but due to the mental damage from the rare encounter with the service before that, I left a little intentionally. Perhaps after turning 40, it's time to refrain from Jiro. The taste was easy to understand and good. I hardly had heartburn. However, overall... this was my impression of the new Kabukicho Jiro. It might be a one-time experience. This is a personal opinion.

I always crave this taste when I come to Tokyo to play, and have a meal at Jiro after drinking. I'm not young anymore, so I ordered a normal size with less vegetables, less oil, less garlic, and lighter flavor. Somehow, I managed to finish it. The satisfying noodles and flavorful chashu are truly addictive.

After finishing overtime on Sunday at 10 PM, I impulsively decided to visit a ramen shop since I had the next day off. The shop was located further back at Tohoku Plaza. I purchased a meal ticket and waited in line inside the shop. While waiting, I raised my meal ticket to indicate my order of regular noodles. I secured some water and lotus roots while waiting in line. After about 15 minutes, I was seated and waited for the staff to call my order. When my noodles arrived, I requested less vegetables, extra garlic, and extra oil. As soon as the ramen was served, I hesitated for a moment as it resembled the first Jiro ramen I had ever tried. However, after taking a sip of the broth, I was hooked. I finished the bowl in just 10 minutes. Although I'm not a Jiro expert, I couldn't stop eating due to the deliciousness. The noodles might have been a bit less, but next time, I will order with extra vegetables, garlic, and oil.

I visited this place on a hot day at the end of August. First of all, the original ordering rules at this shop, such as toppings, amount of noodles, and noodle firmness, which can be a bit overwhelming at Jiro's, were handled very well by the staff, which I really appreciated! I really enjoyed the taste as well, it was a Jiro style that I liked. Even though it's Jiro, the taste varies slightly. Especially, I felt that the rich red meat Chashu was a nice accent. Towards the end, I came across noodles that looked like fettuccine, which was a bit funny, but it was still delicious.

After 6 or 7 years, I visited this place for the first time since it moved. There were about 10 people lined up before the opening on a weekday. I ordered a small ramen with firm noodles and light toppings. I didn't know the rule about folding the meal ticket and ended up causing trouble for the staff. I got my ramen within about 15 minutes of entering the shop. The soup was quite cloudy, but had a mild and creamy taste that I liked. The pork was a bit too salty for my taste. The ratio of fat to meat was around 6:4 or 5:5, and the noodles had a good chewy texture. The two male staff members were very polite and friendly, leaving a good impression. Despite being located in the city center, the restaurant doesn't seem intimidating for beginners.

I visited on a Sunday and arrived at 11:27 am, before the store opened, to find a line of 8 people. I received my bowl at 11:50 am. The turnover rate was impressive. I ordered the regular ramen with half the noodles and topped it with vegetable abura-karami. The taste leaned towards the milky style of Jiro ramen, with a strong pork bone and sweet flavor that I like. It was quite similar to the taste of the old Ikebukuro store before it changed this year. I wish the chashu was a bit bigger, but other than that, I really enjoyed it.

I had saved this place as a go-to for when I want to eat Jiro late at night. Lately, I had been going to the Meguro and Ichinoe shops, so I had been having light Jiro a lot. I thought Jiro would be easy to eat, so I went there after a yakiniku restaurant. However, I ended up regretting it. The taste was good, but I regretted it. If the chashu was a bit tastier, I might consider going back!

I came to Shinjuku station for a transfer, so I decided to try the Jiro ramen in Kabukicho! It was around 1:30 PM on a weekday and there was no line. I ordered my ramen ticket and took a seat. When asked, I requested the noodles to be cooked normally. The place seemed to have a lot of first-time customers and foreigners. After a while, my ramen arrived. This time, I only got garlic as a topping. The soup wasn't very creamy and the pork slices were quite thin. It felt like the pork was unusually light here at Jiro. Thank you for the meal.

"Ramen priced at 850 yen, Menkatanin Niku Abura Kara. Visit number 237 in 2023. First visit. Arrived at 14:52 on a weekday with no wait. Topics: 26 out of 44 Jiro ramen shops conquered, still a long way to go. Operated by NS Planning, like the one in Ikebukuro. Open until 2:30 AM, convenient for late-night visits. No photography allowed inside. Today's order: asked about garlic preference. Thick, chewy noodles are delicious. Portion size is small. Soup is lightly emulsified with a strong seasoning base, few vegetables. Contrary to rumors, the pork was actually quite tasty. Condiments on the table: seasoning, black powder, shichimi, chili oil. Thank you for the meal!"

It's the deliciousness of stability (*^^*) Ramen Jiro that everyone loves, a safe choice. Lately, it feels like the pork quality has improved. The quality and the boldness of the cuts are both amazing! In addition to ramen, they also have tsukemen. Toppings include fish powder, fried tofu, seaweed (for tsukemen only), and green onions (depending on timing). The chef has changed a few times in the past few months. I'm not sure if it's a transfer from Ikebukuro or a promotion for the assistant, but the quality is not bad at all. There's no need to worry about the intimidating reputation of Ramen Jiro. There's no need to buy tickets in advance, and you can write your toppings on the table. Ramen Jiro for beginners!

I thought the atmosphere of the shop was strict like Jiro's rules, but there were quite a few foreign employees and the atmosphere was not as bad as I imagined. It might have been because it was before 11pm. The taste was good, with the vegetables being crunchy and not too strong. I will give it a 4.0 because the ladle was not that clean.

I went to the restaurant the day before starting my diet. I ate an insane amount of ramen so I have no regrets. Even though I was extremely full, I still ate a lot. I forced myself to eat but it was delicious. The next day, I wanted to eat it again.

I visited this restaurant after being invited by someone. It is known for being heavy, having greasy floors, and not having good service, but I won't criticize that. I ordered without any toppings this time, and I remember it being quite heavy with a large amount of bean sprouts. The bean sprouts were normal and the meat was big and satisfying. The heaviness comes from the thick and rich noodles, not the soup, and the amount of noodles is also generous.

I was interested in visiting Ichiran again after my last visit, so I went to the Kabukicho branch. However, I didn't feel as impressed as last time. The flavor lacked punch, but the chashu was delicious. Maybe the soup was too watery? The broth didn't cling to the noodles. A bit disappointing. There was a sign saying no photography inside the restaurant, so I'll just show the wall. (I wonder what happened).

【Date】There was a line near the ticket vending machine around 3:00 PM on Saturday.【Order】I wonder if I should go for a small ramen with extra garlic and oil? The door is wide open, so it's hot, and the ramen itself is nothing special. I'll come back when I want to stuff myself. I think it's a good place to go when you feel like eating Jiro-style ramen.

I had been avoiding Kabukicho because it seemed scary, but I finally mustered up the courage to go. I arrived around 2 PM on a Sunday and surprisingly didn't have to wait long to get in. The taste was better than I had imagined. Both the soup and the pork were authentic Jiro style. The noodles were quite thick. I would definitely like to go again.

Visited late at night. Ordered ramen with half portion of noodles, less garlic, not too salty without adding extra seasoning. Asked for extra bean sprouts to make it crunchy. Note that the amount of vegetables is quite small if you don't request extra. Despite ordering only half portion of noodles, they were so delicious that I wished I had ordered the full portion. The noodles were chewy and satisfying. Unfortunately, the tsukemen (dipping noodles) was sold out, so I'll have to try it next time. Thank you for the meal.
