A ramen shop called Jiro-kei. It is addictive, characterized by its pork bone-based soup, thick noodles, mountains of vegetables, thick chashu pork, and large amounts of garlic. The pork chashu is tender and tasty. The soup is as punchy as these thick noodles, and you can enjoy the unhealthy fun with a sense of immorality.

delicious.

Kokubunji Jiro-inspired☆豚ノヴァ 【Small ramen (1,150 yen)】 This time I had lunch at 豚ノヴァ, a Jiro-inspired shop in Kokubunji It's about a 10-minute walk from Kokubunji Station There used to be a bowling alley called Park Lane on the grounds of the OK Store next door, a place full of memories since I used to hang out there a lot as a student So nostalgic (lol) Visited just before 12, with 1 customer ahead of me and 2 after You order your meal ticket on a touch panel This time I ordered the small ramen, 200g In about 10 minutes, the ramen arrived As for the taste I take a sip of the soup A slightly emulsified soup with plenty of pork broth Pork flavor・・good Shoyu flavor・・good Fat・・slightly under-aged The soup is well put together and tasty☆ The noodles are thick with a square cross-section Cooked firm Personally, I don't think they quite match The pork is one large slice, satisfying The vegetables are the crunchy type Looking it up, the owner apparently has experience at 富士丸 and elsewhere, but though they use firm thick noodles, they're totally different from 富士丸's "boki" noodles Noodles with a lower water content that absorb the soup well might match better☆ Thank you for the meal☆ ■Saving spots in line or having a representative wait for others counts as "cutting in" or "line-jumping" and is against etiquette Families and groups, "please line up once everyone has arrived" Let's follow the rules and enjoy our food happily and deliciously. ※The visit date and posting date of reviews may differ

This makes me want to become a regular. Topped it with ginger. • The soup is a tonkotsu shoyu base, not too greasy, with a sharp shoyu edge that makes it easy to eat. • The noodles are on the thick side with a chewy, hearty texture. • The chashu (pork) has a great reputation; much of it is thick-cut and fall-apart tender, at the level people call "god-tier pork." You can order on a touch-panel ticket machine, so many people say it's easy to walk into even for Jiro-style beginners or women. The staff are kind too.

Even though I'm a guy, I ordered the Ladies' Ramen. Jiro-style usually means big portions, which makes me a bit wary, but this has fewer noodles, and the boiled quail eggs and heart-shaped nori are a nice touch. The soup is full of pork umami, with a sharp shoyu edge and a punchy flavor. The soup clings well to the chewy, thick "washiwashi" noodles. The chashu is thick and tender too, and it was really satisfying. The atmosphere with the handsome young guy and the cute staff member is bright, making it an easy shop to walk into even if it's your first time trying Jiro-style Recommended for those who want to enjoy hearty ramen in a lighter way. I'd like to go again next time I'm in Kokubunji.
