At Shinbashi's "Jinza," a large serving of cold meat udon! Shinbashi Jinza is a place that recreates the authentic Sanuki udon from Kagawa at a reasonable price in the sacred land of salarymen, Shinbashi. The menu offers prices like 390 yen for plain udon, 450 yen for bukkake udon, 640 yen for curry udon, 700 yen for meat udon, and 620 yen for chiku-tama tempura udon. You can choose the size of your udon: medium for 1.5 servings for an extra 50 yen, large for 2 servings for an extra 100 yen, or special for 3 servings for an extra 200 yen. I purchased a ticket for the special cold meat udon (pork and chicken tempura) for 940 yen. The restaurant has around 40 seats at the counter and tables, with a bright and clean atmosphere. The large serving of cold meat udon arrived in a bowl the size of a washbasin, with three servings of noodles topped with pork and three pieces of chicken tempura, making for an impressive presentation. The noodles were thick, chewy, and smooth, with a satisfying texture. The clear broth had a light and elegant flavor with a hint of bonito dashi. The pork was made from SPF pork belly, offering a delicious combination of meaty flavor and sweet fat. The chicken tempura was moist and flavorful, absorbing the broth well. After mixing in some green onions and tempura crumbs, I enjoyed the change in flavor. I finished the special large serving of udon in no time, feeling completely satisfied. The cost performance was excellent at 940 yen for a special meat udon, making it a great deal. The restaurant is open on weekdays at the Shinbashi location, while the Daimon location is open on weekends and holidays.

This is an udon restaurant near Uchisaiwaicho Station. It's within walking distance from Toranomon and Shimbashi, but a bit far. Around 2 PM, the restaurant was about 80% full. There was a line outside when I left, showing its popularity. I took a day off to visit this place, as it's only open on weekdays for lunch. I ordered the Special (cold) with extra noodles and the limited-time Tai Chikuwa Tempura. The Special comes with extra pork and three pieces of chicken tempura. It would be nice if the chicken tempura was served on a separate plate. The Tai Chikuwa Tempura that I added as a topping was served on a separate plate, which was appreciated. The taste was delicious. The chicken tempura still had its rich flavor, and the Tai Chikuwa Tempura had a delicate sweetness and umami. The udon was slightly firm, and those who prefer warm udon might enjoy the stretchiness of the noodles. Despite knowing this, I couldn't resist ordering cold udon. Regardless, Jinsan's udon is delicious. The way they enhance the broth without making it too strong is impressive. The restaurant aims to create udon that people would want to eat every day, and I can see why.

Special (pork, chicken tempura) served hot. 740 yen. It gets crowded during lunchtime, so I aimed for around 14:30 towards the end to avoid waiting in line. I chose the Special with pork and chicken tempura on top of Kagawa's udon noodles. The chicken tempura was juicy and delicious. Truly deserving of the name "Special."

I had been seeing a long line at lunchtime at this restaurant for a while, so I decided to finally try it and arrived at 11:30 am. Even at this time, there were about 5 people in line. However, by the time I left, there were about 20 people waiting, so I recommend going early if you plan to visit. As for the taste, the noodles had a nice firmness and smooth texture, and were very delicious! Even my colleague who said he couldn't really tell the taste of udon, said it was delicious. The curry also had a good level of spiciness and flavor, making it tasty. The price of 700 yen for a medium serving of kake udon and curry is quite reasonable in this area, and I now understand why there is always a long line.

Taste: ★★★★☆ Portion: ★★★☆☆ Cost performance: ★★★☆☆ I visited this restaurant for the first time in a few years since they changed to only serving lunch. When they first opened, I had a feeling it would become a popular spot because the food was so good from the first bite. The prices are reasonable, with a basic bowl costing 390 yen and you can add extra toppings for 50 yen. The noodles have a nice firmness to them. This place might not be well known in the Kanto region. They have a wide variety of toppings and the restaurant is spacious. They open early, so even when it's busy, you can usually get a seat without much trouble.

Special pork and chicken tempura cold noodles for 740 yen with extra noodles for 100 yen. I like the thick and firm noodles. The soup is light with a hint of seafood broth. The portion size is just right. Arrived around 12:40 on a weekday, had to wait for about 4 people ahead of us, took about 5 minutes to get seated, and 3 minutes to be served.

After walking for about 10 minutes in the hot weather, I was planning to have sushi nearby, but to my surprise, the curtain was closed right in front of me... It was around 13:50. Once again, I found myself struggling to find lunch. Walking around under the scorching sun was tough, so I decided to jump into a nearby udon restaurant. There was a ticket machine next to the entrance, so I bought a ticket and then the staff assigned me a seat number once inside. They also brought me a basket for my belongings, which was very helpful. Water and other things were self-service. Since it was my first time there, I didn't know what to order, so I asked for the Taimaki Chikuwa Ontama Bukkake cold udon. It was served in a stylish bowl, and it looked beautiful. However, I didn't really like the udon itself as it was quite firm. I prefer smoother udon, even in the case of Sanuki udon. The broth and the Taimaki Chikuwa tempura were delicious, especially the Chikuwa tempura which I loved so much that I wanted to take some home. The overall flavor was good. They have a variety of options, so if you find something you like, it might be fun to become a regular. It was a refreshing meal in the hot weather. Thank you for the meal!

Today, I ordered the cold tempura udon for 620 yen. It came with one chikuwa tempura and two kashiwa tempura, both of which were delicious. Jinsan is a popular restaurant, but the turnover is quick, which is convenient. Next time, I would like to try the curry udon. Thank you for the meal.

Jinzan-san after two months. I arrived at the shop a little after 2 pm on a weekday. It was a bit late, so there was no wait. I ordered the classic Special (cold) with pork and chicken tempura. The noodles had a good texture and the broth was delicious. Hm? Is the dried fish too strong today? I asked for extra black pepper halfway through. Maybe it was my own condition, but the broth seemed different this time. I gave it a score of 3.5 this time (laughs). Thank you for the meal.

First visit, arrived around 13:30 with about 80% occupancy. Purchased a ticket for the tempura and cold udon noodles for 620 yen at the ticket machine at the entrance, handed the ticket to the staff guiding at the entrance, and sat at the designated counter seat. There were many seats, and it seemed self-service, but all seats were available and the food was served to the table. They used paper cups for water. The food was served quickly, in about 1 minute after ordering. The noodles were thick and slightly firm in texture, and the broth had a sweet impression, but it was quite a standard taste. The tempura was small but delicious with 3 pieces in the bowl, served hot and juicy. Overall, it was well-balanced and good value for money. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for the meal! 🍜

#Jinzo Niku Oroshi Bukkake 740 yen A highly popular udon spot in Nishi-Shinbashi with long lines. Despite the wait, the turnover rate is quite good and once you sit down, your order arrives quickly, making it perfect for a quick meal. Due to the heat, I ordered the meat and grated radish bukkake udon. The udon noodles were firm with a good chewy texture. Not being a big udon eater, I was impressed by the quality of the noodles. The pork was sweet and delicious. I added some condiments and tempura flakes from the table, enhancing the flavor even more. I was surprised by how well pepper complemented the dish. The prices are reasonable and I would recommend this spot to office workers in the area.

"I lined up for the first time on a day when I absolutely wanted to have udon! During lunchtime, I always wait in line outside, but this time I bought a meal ticket first, lined up, and when a seat became available, the staff quickly guided me to my seat. I ordered the "kake udon" with toppings of "agedama" and a "soft-boiled egg". Before long, what is commonly known as "kitsune udon" and a side dish of "onsen tamago" arrived. There were plenty of tempura flakes and sesame seeds on the table. When I slurped up the thick udon noodles, I was greeted with a strong chewiness and the rich aroma of wheat flour spreading in my mouth! The exquisite combination with the clear bonito broth was perfect, and I was filled with joy at encountering delicious Sanuki udon after a long time. This is definitely a Sanuki udon that I would wait in line for in this area. There is a popular Hakata udon shop nearby, so I should try comparing the two next time. Thank you for the meal."

I have eaten at this store before, but this is my first time at another branch. As expected, this store's specialty is meat udon. The udon noodles have a firm texture, and the meat is delicious without any unpleasant taste. When I want to have a hearty bowl of udon, I will visit this place. I will definitely come back!

I had some business in Nishi-Shimbashi and decided to have a delicious lunch while I was there. I heard good things about this place, with someone saying it was the best Sanuki udon they had ever eaten. I couldn't resist checking it out after hearing that! I was originally planning on getting the recommended meat udon served cold, but when I saw the special option on the ticket machine that included both pork and chicken tempura, I had to go for it! I was seated and served the udon almost immediately, which was a pleasant surprise. The Sanuki udon had a great texture and flavor, with a smooth and firm chewiness. The broth was also delicious. The thinly sliced pork was tasty, but the real standout was the chicken tempura! It was the best chicken tempura I've ever had! I had ordered a large portion, but it was so good that I finished it quickly. I arrived just as they opened at 11 am, but by the time I left, the place was packed with customers and there was a line forming outside. It's no wonder it's so popular - the food is delicious!

Exploring lunch in the Shinbashi area. Today, on this hot and humid day, I decided to enjoy a refreshing and delicious meal here with the meat grated udon for 740 yen, with an additional medium portion for 50 yen. From Shinbashi Station, head towards Nishi-Shinbashi intersection, cross the intersection, and turn into the third one-way street where you will immediately see the restaurant. There is always a long line in front of the store, but today I decided to wait. I purchased my meal ticket from the machine, joined the line of about 15 people, and surprisingly, I was able to enter and sit down in about 15 minutes. The serving was quick, within 5 minutes of sitting down. The restaurant has a capacity for about 30-40 people, which explains the fast turnover. The presentation of the meat udon may not be visually appealing, but the dish consists of beautifully colored meat, grated daikon radish, grated ginger, and Sanuki udon underneath. I added some tempura flakes from the counter and sprinkled some chili pepper to customize my dish. The udon had a nice chewy texture, bursting with the flavor of wheat. The pork from SPF Hayashi was tender, sweet, and delicious. The daikon radish added a slight bitterness, complementing the sweetness of the pork, the crispy tempura flakes, the spicy ginger, and the chewy udon, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. It was gone in no time. The Shinbashi area is like a battlefield for Sanuki udon. Thank you for the meal.

After completing the hospital admission procedures, I had some time to spare so I went for a walk and found a udon noodle shop that caught my eye. I knew I had already had lunch at the hospital, but I decided to go in anyway since I wouldn't be able to eat anything other than hospital food afterwards. I ordered a kake udon, which had quite thick noodles that were enjoyable to slurp. They also had a soy sauce for dipping, which added to the experience. It was a bit salty, but delicious overall.

At around noon on weekdays, there were no waiting customers at the store, and I had the special set (pork belly, duck tempura) for 720 yen. The noodles had a good chewiness, wheat flavor, and freshness. The soup was delicious with a very rich broth. It rivals the level of udon in Kagawa, which is known for its udon. Next time, I want to try the tempura and egg set without the pork belly.

As a udon purist, I usually stick to the traditional options, but after being inspired by a colleague who ordered RED, I decided to give it a try. The RED udon has a sweet white broth base with a hint of spiciness from the chili oil. Mixing in the egg, it had a mild and fluffy flavor, like a Japanese-style tantan udon. The udon itself was flavorful and delicious. Even though the chili oil added some kick, it was not overpowering, making it a good choice for those looking for a milder option with a bit of spice. Just a heads up, there was a long line with at least 50 people waiting when I visited after noon, but it was worth it as the udon was still enjoyable when taken to go.

I am a strict judge when it comes to udon, being from Kagawa prefecture. I heard that this place was started by someone from Marukawa. The broth was from Marukawa, and it was delicious. It leans towards the salty side. The noodles have a good firmness and a nice bite to them, but I think they could be a bit chewier. The recommended black pepper and red pepper for flavor change might overshadow the goodness of the broth.

Recently, I have been eating Jinsan's udon at least once a week. This time, during lunchtime on a weekday, I got off at Toranomon and stopped by Jinsan's. I arrived at the restaurant around 13:30, after the lunch rush in the Toranomon area had passed, so I was able to enter without waiting. The restaurant was almost full, with customers still coming in one after another. I ordered the classic Special udon with pork and chicken tempura (cold). The noodles had a good texture and the broth was delicious. They also offered to grate black pepper for me halfway through. This time, I went with a colleague, and they were so impressed by how delicious it was. Thank you for the meal!

I visited the restaurant "Jinzo San" for a journey exploring world heritage sites and gourmet food. I was able to enter without waiting in line. I tried the following dishes: - Niku Tamago Bukkake RED (cold) for 720 yen This is a branch of the famous Sanuki udon and meat restaurant "Jinzo San" that is known for its udon noodles made with ingredients from Kagawa. The noodles were chewy and the meat used was high-quality SPF pork. However, compared to the main store in Daimon, some parts of the meat were overcooked, losing some of its flavor and sweetness. Overall, it was delicious, but I think it would be more enjoyable to try it at the main store in Daimon.
