I visited after 6pm on a weekday night. The seats were almost full and I was able to get in without lining up.
I heard that the ticket machine was not working properly, so I chose the menu and pressed the ticket button without putting money in.
Take your meal ticket, take your seat and pay.

This was my first visit, but I was really interested in miso, so I ordered a half-limited miso for 980 yen.

While I was waiting to get my meal ticket, I took the basket under the water dispenser and placed my belongings at my feet. I also took some water and astragalus and waited at my seat.
(Paper aprons cost 20 yen)

Shortly afterwards, I was asked, ``Would you like to add garlic to half the miso?'', so I asked for garlic oil.

When you eat the ramen soup that comes out, it's piping hot and has a mild miso flavor, and it's delicious.
The noodles are chewy and have a high water content.
Flavored oil is even more delicious when eaten with vegetables.
The pork was tender and very tasty.

And ginger is on the opposite side from garlic.
Garlic and ginger go well with miso soup. very delicious.

Also, the quail on one is very nice. Next time I would like to add quail as a paid topping.
Overall, it was very tasty and satisfying.

The staff at the store were also very polite and hospitable, and the customer service was very pleasant. Also, even when a couple who seemed to be visiting Jiro for the first time misjudged the timing of the free toppings, the explanation was very thorough and I was impressed.

Please note that you may be asked to leave after eating for about 15 minutes. I can't eat a lot, so I was a little worried about whether I would be able to finish the noodles in time since the half portion was 200g of noodles (although I was relieved that I was able to finish it in less than 10 minutes).

Recommended for beginners and those who like Jiro and Jiro-style ramen. I would like to try normal ramen and abura soba, so I will visit again.

The owner is from Ramen Jiro Sakuradai Ekimae store.
The atmosphere inside the store is nice and it feels friendly even to first-timers!
However, since the amount is sufficient, it is important to adjust the amount of noodles by reducing or halving them.
I've been here many times, and the ramen, tsukemen, and limited edition items were all delicious, so I highly recommend them ✨

Open here on New Year's Eve.
Visited in search of the limited edition "Toshikoshi Chinese Soba."
Mr. Mitani (owner of Kojima) goes out of his way to make it, so there's no way it's not delicious!

·Line up
Connected to 11 people as of 10:31. Okay, okay, it's not that bad...

・Meal tickets, collection
The ticket vending machine seems to be out of order.
① Issue tickets and line up (Tickets will be issued even if you do not pay)
②Payment when seated
It turned out to be... limited edition noodles, green onions, and raw eggs. When I was about 4th in line, the assistant came to collect it. Oh! There is no loosened pork...

·call
“Toshikoshi Chinese Soba” is not available. Instead, it seems like they put garlic behind the seats...
The rice bowl arrived at 11:09. It takes 40 minutes for 3 lots, so take your time.

·taste
Topped with green onions, charred green onions, seaweed, and quail, the soup looks non-emulsified. The noodles are the usual noodles.
First, slurp the noodles. The chewy, soft noodles enhance the mildly chewy, seafood-flavored soup. Sigh, it stains! If it weren't for these soft noodles, I wouldn't have been able to get so much soup...The soup stock was so effective!
Next is the pig. 2 big blocks. A high-quality rose that you can tell just by looking at it. The meat juice oozes when you bite into it! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Yummy!
Then, dip it in raw egg soaked in white soup stock...
Shockingly delicious! It's seafood-based so it goes well with it! Add the green onions added here and enjoy the green onions! Negi Banzai!
I finished it in no time, so I drank the rest of the soup and left while I watched. It was delicious even after the meal...

After all, the soft noodles at this restaurant are even better with soup!
Mitani-san also greeted us and said, "We look forward to seeing you next year," and we're definitely planning on visiting again in the new year to try some more miso! Thank you for such a wonderful drink on New Year's Eve!

Visited in search of "Abura Soba".

・Line up, buy food tickets, check amount of noodles
1 person waiting outside as of 10:43! Are vacant,,,
Why is it open at 10:00?
According to the old information, you should buy while waiting in line, but now they have a system of buying food tickets in advance, so you can buy abura soba, green onions, and raw eggs. Please note that the ticket vending machine here only accepts 1,000 yen bills and only small change. You need two thousand yen bills!
The assistant soon collected the meal tickets. Click here for less information.
Please note that Katame etc. are not allowed.

``One person, please take the seat number ◯~'' I asked for water and sat down at my designated seat. At the same time, I took out 20 yen in cash and applied for ``I'd like some loosened pork!''. Shrimp oil is also 20 yen, so be sure to specify. Please note that it costs 50 yen if you don't buy other toppings. Today we have three people: Mr. Mitani (lol) and two assistants. Mr. Mitani confirmed that ``Abura soba is the one~'' and applied for ``all!''. “Garlic, fried garlic, and chili oil.” Huh? Is it better to say everything? (lol) The bowl in the 11:04 image is a bowl of rice. 21 minutes from the line. Slightly loose eyes.

·taste
First of all, noodles. Slightly soft eyes of a derro. So it doesn't have much of a wheat taste. If you mix it from the bottom, a purring pig will appear! It's refreshing and delicious! When mixed with FG, it's fragrant... chili oil isn't too spicy and is just right. Is Kaeshi a little restrained? Raw eggs there! Speaking of Noodle Shop HERO, this is it! As recommended, I poured a lap of the white soup stock behind my seat and enjoyed it! ! Honestly, the flavor of the thick yolk intertwines with the flavor of the soup stock, and to be honest, it's delicious no matter what you dip it in! Next, the green onions... they were so crunchy! The spiciness is well removed and it is refreshing. This is required. The loosened pork is delicious with the noodles! Pour the vinegar from behind the seat twice over the remaining green onions and loosened pork, mix everything together, and, oh, this is it! This is abura soba! I should have done it sooner. That's how I finished eating.

・Overview
The taste and toppings are perfect. However, I don't think Dero noodles go well with abura soba. It's a matter of taste, but I'm a big fan of Japanese food, so I want to eat a lot of food. Let me apply for Katame! It's not that big of a deal, so if you're someone who likes to eat a little Jiro, you can afford it.
The following is for reference of quantity

Amount of noodles: 350g (slightly more)
Kaeshi: Subdued
Abra: It's a liquid and you can't really feel it.
Yasai: There is no oil soba. Green onions are a must!
Pork: Cut into cubes, about 2 pieces, and be sure to loosen up the pork!
Chili oil: not that spicy

There is customer service, but when I went there was nothing. Rather good. Parents and children also came, and Guilty was able to serve customers properly for a long time. Mr. Mitani also happily replied, “Thank you very much!” to “Thank you for the meal!” If you normally go to Jiro directly, there will be no problem.
