I ordered a small ramen with garlic and extra oil. The restaurant is located right in front of Ebisu Station East Exit. The staff is lively and friendly, making the atmosphere great. This place is known for its Jiro-style ramen, so it might be helpful to do some research beforehand. Even though it was a small portion, the ramen was quite filling and rich, satisfying my stomach. They offer free refills of water in large cups, allowing me to enjoy the meal while giving my stomach a break!

I visited here twice in the past week. The standout feature of Butayama is definitely the rich flavor of the pork. I always order 5 pieces of pork with a small ramen, and the pork has a taste that never gets old, while the noodles have a thick and satisfying chew that is unique to Jiro-style ramen. Personally, I recommend adding mayonnaise and rice as toppings when eating.

I couldn't give up on summer and wondered if they were still serving hiyashi chuka... so I decided to visit. It was my first time trying the hiyashi chuka at Butsuyama! I purchased a small ramen for 900 yen and changed it to hiyashi chuka for an additional 150 yen. I sat down after buying the meal ticket. The staff informed me that the hiyashi chuka would take some time. Compared to the hiyashi chuka at Senrigan, which requires waiting in line nowadays, I didn't mind the wait. Would you like some pickled ginger mayonnaise? Of course! The first bite was like, "Yes, this is it!" But as I continued eating, it started to feel watery or thin. Maybe it's because the vegetables are bean sprouts, or the water is coming out... I adjusted the taste with the chili oil and vinegar on the table and finished the meal. Butsuyama seems more like a ramen place to me.

At Ebisu, I tried the forbidden Jiro ramen. The portion size is quite large, even the small size requires some preparation. I ordered mine with extra vegetables and extra garlic. The vegetables filled me up. The soup was emulsified and didn't have a strong punch, so I still think the original Jiro ramen is better. But it's convenient not having to wait in line.

・Price: Large Ramen 1000 yen ・Details: This was my first time having Jiro-style ramen at Butayama right outside the east exit of Ebisu Station. It was dinner time, and I ordered the sinful and indulgent large ramen weighing 375g, with a normal serving of vegetables at 300g. The noodles were piled high, almost overflowing, but I managed to finish it all. It was a satisfying experience enjoying Jiro-style ramen after a long time. Thank you for the meal.

I feel refreshed. I go here when I'm exhausted from work. My favorite is "No garlic, vegetables, oil". If I don't have work the next day, I want to add garlic, but it's just not possible... I wonder why I always go on weekdays instead of weekends, maybe because it helps me recover from exhaustion, haha.

I want to go again! But be careful with the portion size! Even the mini ramen is a normal size! I asked for a little garlic, but maybe the amount in the soup is already a lot, because afterwards my breath was really smelly haha. But it's delicious, so next time I'll order with less garlic!

I have never eaten here before so I don't want to criticize, but the first visit was nice. The restaurant was clean and the fact that you don't have to get up for water is great. I ordered the soupless vegetable garlic extra oily caramel. It was my first time trying it so I was excited. The dish arrived quickly but there was a lot of soup, even though I ordered soupless. It was extremely salty, probably because of the caramel order. The portion size was small and I couldn't eat much because it was too salty. I ordered soupless this time, but I probably won't go back next time.

After watching a feature on Jiro-style ramen on YouTube, I really wanted to try it, so I searched and found this restaurant. I was honestly nervous going in alone as a woman, but I arrived just before 7 pm and was able to get in without waiting in line. The soup was rich and bold, with thick noodles and plenty of bean sprouts. This is what Jiro-style ramen is all about!! I was impressed. The man sitting next to me was slurping his ramen with a look of satisfaction on his face. Then a cute woman came in and ordered the vegetable-packed ramen with extra garlic, making me realize that it's okay for women to enjoy this type of ramen too.

I love Jiro ramen with rich flavor that never gets boring! This is my favorite Jiro ramen shop that I visit regularly. The atmosphere inside the shop is nice, and the staff are very friendly, so you can enjoy your Jiro without feeling nervous. The portion size is easy to finish even for women, and the taste never gets old no matter how many times you come. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I visited Butsuyama in Ebisu for lunch around 3:00 PM. Despite it being past peak hours, the restaurant was almost full. The location is convenient, right by the station stairs. I ordered a small ramen and large rice, with the option to customize the garlic, vegetables, pork fat, and flavor intensity. I chose no garlic, fewer vegetables, extra pork fat, and standard flavor. I also added nori as a topping. The staff took my order politely. The ramen was quite rich with the extra pork fat, but the hot soup was delicious. Towards the end, it became a bit too heavy for me, even though I like rich flavors. This was my choice, so it's on me (laughs). The portion size was just right, but I felt the large rice portion was a bit small. If you're looking for a rich ramen around Ebisu station, give it a try!

"Gift Holdings Co., Ltd." expands various ramen restaurants with a focus on family lineage ramen. In the summer of 2022, they opened "Butayama," a Jiro-style ramen shop, right near Ebisu Station. It is truly the closest Jiro-style ramen shop to a station that I know of. The operating hours are convenient from 11:00 to 26:00, open year-round. As it is a new establishment, the interior is very clean. There are around 20 counter seats, making it quite spacious for a ramen shop. Perhaps due to its location, there are female solo customers and female staff, creating an inclusive atmosphere for a Jiro-style ramen shop. To make it accessible to everyone, in addition to "large" and "small," they also offer a "mini" size, with my order of "mini" containing 125 grams of noodles, perfect for those with smaller appetites. However, if you order extra vegetables as I did, you will receive a whopping 600 grams of vegetables. I ordered the "Mini Buta," so the simmered pork is generously topped. The balance of lean and fatty pork is good, and when combined with the extra vegetables, it becomes a well-rounded nutritious meal. However, I may have overdone it with the extra vegetables, as they were mostly bean sprouts, which became a bit monotonous after a while. The quail eggs are a generous addition, with 5 eggs included for an extra 100 yen. Just like at "Ramen Jiro Shonan Fujisawa," Jiro-style ramen shops are generous with quail eggs, which is a nice touch. The noodles are thick with a good chew, reminiscent of Sanuki udon. They have a satisfying texture when slurped up. The broth is rich and flavorful, making it a hearty ramen. All of this comes at a price of 1,100 yen. While it may be a bit pricey for a Jiro-style ramen, it is a delicious and approachable option without the long lines or intimidating atmosphere seen at places like "Ramen Jiro Meguro." It is not only a great entry point for those new to Jiro-style ramen but also a quality choice for regular visitors. With its convenient location, it is highly recommended among Jiro-inspired restaurants.

I rarely eat out, but I need to regularly consume ingredients similar to Jiro-style ramen, so I went with my usual Butayama. I ordered the Daikoku Ramen with extra everything this time, and it was really good...the broth, noodles, and vegetables were the best quality I've had recently, but the vegetable portion was a bit small, so I felt a bit unsatisfied. I like to eat noodles and vegetables in equal proportions, but with the Daikoku Ramen at Ebisu Butayama, I prefer extra vegetables. Unfortunately, this time I couldn't eat with my ideal ratio, as there seemed to be fewer vegetables. It happens, it's all part of the experience.

I suddenly felt like eating Jiro-style ramen, so I visited the Butayama Ebisu shop on a Sunday evening. There were 4 customers ahead of me, so I purchased my meal ticket. Oh, they have tsukemen! I've never had tsukemen at a Jiro-style ramen place before, so I changed my order from a small ramen to tsukemen. I requested it without garlic. First, I tried the soup...hmm, it's lukewarm...I thought it might be because I drank the soup at the bottom, so I stirred it well and tried again, but it was still lukewarm... The noodles were served cold, so the soup felt cold from the start, which was disappointing. I understand that it's served cold because it's tsukemen, but I wish the soup was a bit warmer from the beginning. The noodles were firm and very delicious! Thank you for the meal.

It was a late lunch, but when I entered, the place was full. I had been curious because there was always a line inside the shop during lunchtime. I ordered the small ramen at the top of the menu and while reading the notes in front of me, I was called by number in about 5-6 minutes, but I got flustered and the cold words from the staff like "Huh?" irritated me. The taste was nothing special, just a simple and greasy dish with a strong flavor. I think it would be nice if the staff asked something like "Is this your first time?".

This is the second location of Butsuyama. The customer service at Butsuyama is good! The staff are bright, energetic, and there was no unpleasant feeling. I ordered my ramen with a little garlic, less vegetables, and extra pork fat. I prefer the noodle-to-vegetable ratio in the mini size to be like this! The pork fat here was chunky compared to the finer pork fat at the Ikebukuro location I visited before. Today's special addition was curry powder, so I mixed it in halfway through and enjoyed a curry-flavored variation. From now on, I think I'll default to ordering soup-less ramen.

I want to eat Jiro ramen! But I can't go to Jiro!! So, as usual, I had the Butayama substitution. I got the large ramen with extra everything this time, and it was delicious overall. It had fewer vegetables than usual and more garlic, which was just right. It was really satisfying.

I entered Butayama for the first time and was surprised that the interior was clean, the staff were friendly, and the food was delicious! I used to live near the main store in Mita, so I'm quite picky when it comes to inspired ramen, but this place wasn't bad at all. I saw some negative reviews on Google Maps, but I think it might be tough for people who are not familiar with Jiro-style ramen culture to just walk in. I believe they are trying their best to be beginner-friendly, and I want to support them. The noodles were firm and the vegetables were crunchy. I'm on a diet, so I had the mini ramen. I think only salarymen or locals eat Jiro ramen in Ebisu.

Suddenly I felt like eating Jiro-style ramen, so after finishing my business in Ebisu, I visited this restaurant located right near Ebisu Station. It was a very windy and rainy day, and I got soaked just walking a few meters from the station to the restaurant. The restaurant was empty probably due to the rain, so I was seated right away. Before ordering, they asked me about the amount of vegetables and other toppings, and feeling influenced by the atmosphere, I ordered with lots of vegetables and fat. Well, to put it simply, I was defeated... It was delicious but it was tough on my stomach. The university students around me were eating with ease, which made me quite envious. But once you get hooked on Jiro-style ramen, it's hard to resist. I definitely want to visit again.
