Jiro-style
二郎系
Thick noodles, generous vegetables and pork make portion planning part of this experience. Inspired shops and the original Jiro branches are not interchangeable.
What to notice
A small bowl may still be large. Ask about less noodles before cooking, and wait for the shop’s topping question.
Try it with your next bowl
Choose a portion you can enjoy. The adventure is learning the order, rather than proving how much you can eat.
