This is famous as one of Kawasaki's best inspirations.
You can eat the nostalgic The Tokyo Ramen that you would think is Jiro!
·Line up
As of 10:39, there were 0 people in line...I couldn't believe it was PP (lol), but right after that there were about 8 people, so it must have been timing. The line runs from the store toward Kawasaki Station (to the west).
・Purchase meal tickets, call
I entered the store as soon as it opened at 11:02 and purchased a meal ticket. Originally, people lined up to buy food tickets in advance. 300g of large ramen, add 1 piece of pork, add some flavored eggs... Be careful as the portions here are small at 200g and large at 300g! As soon as I was seated, I applied for "Yasai, Abura!". There is a call system here when you present your meal ticket. You can also find less information here. Additional charges apply. You can add as much garlic as you want on your table! Quiet? The shop owner skillfully performs one operation. There's no particular response when I call, but it's working fine so don't worry about it.

It's so packed that the juices are spilling out! First of all, we cut through the thick yam to get the noodles. The noodles are not homemade, but from Kanno Seimenjo. The dangling, slightly shaped, curly noodles lift the back fat and soup well! This fragrant feeling of the back oil is like the nostalgic Nogata Hope or the old Foods! Ummma! The soup is light and full of Jiro style pork soup! It's not a gala soup. This balance of refreshing and chewy is the perfect nostalgic Tokyo ramen.
Next, I copied the better pork. Gyuchitoro. Kaeshi is moderate. Very good pork with succulent fat. This is a Jiro type thing.
The flavored eggs are perfectly half-boiled!
At this point, add table garlic and maple powder for a boost. After all, the salty horse is better.
The fact that the Yasai is crunchy is just like The Tokyo Ramen.
I would also like a raw egg if possible...
That's how I finished eating.
・Overview
I think people who like Nogata Hope or the old Foods will be hooked on this ramen because it's a Tokyo-style ramen that pretends to be Jiro. The current trend for Jiro style is to make pork stock thick or emulsified even if it is not emulsified, so if you come with that style, you'll be surprised. It might be.
It's a famous restaurant loved by locals...

I visited on January 5th.
Select 1000 yen large bowl of ramen from the ticket machine and place it on the counter.
(If there is a line outside, buy a meal ticket first and then line up outside)
After you are seated, call first at that timing. (Pepper is added from the beginning, so if you don't like pepper, please tell us to leave it without pepper at this point.)
Vegetables and oil are free until mashi, but mashimashi costs 100 yen each.
The garlic and maple leaves are on the table, so you can add as much as you like.
This time, it's better to eat vegetables and oilseed.
The owner always makes the dishes carefully in one operation.
When I make a call, I often get asked whether I'm getting the message across without getting a response, but this happens all the time, so I get used to it.
I think it would be a good idea to say it a little louder because it's clearly getting the message across.
The noodles are hard and slightly curly, and the noodles are smooth, and the soup is a delicious soup that shows the owner's passion, which is a little different from Jiro's, which has a slightly emulsified texture.
The pork is rolled pork belly, and is soft and flavorful, but not salty and delicious.
The abra from aphids is flavored and not plain abra, so it's even more delicious when eaten with vegetables.
The vegetables are mainly bean sprouts with a little bit of cabbage, and they have a crunchy texture.
I put a generous amount of garlic on the pork, sprinkle it with pepper, and stuff it into my mouth all at once.
The melty pork that goes perfectly with rice is the best.
There is a line, but the noodles start being boiled for each vacant seat, so you don't have to worry about time, and there are many women.
Thank you for the meal, I ate all the soup.

It was my first visit. I received a large serving of ramen with vegetable aburamashi. The noodles were thick and the chashu was thick and soft and very delicious. The soup was also rich and delicious. There seems to be a little less noodles compared to other Jiro types. A large serving weighs 300g. For your reference
I would like to repeat it.
