Shinjuku City, Tokyo, Japan｜Ramen Jirō Otakibashi-dōri

very large portion. great soup taste. Elon Musk’s go-to-raman store

Huge serving of noodles. Salty tasty soup. Soft thick slices of pork. A few choices to make when ordering: Vegetables more/less. Oil more/less. Galic yes/no. 750¥ ramen.

Great place for superb ramen! Perhaps not so tourist foreigner friendly since there is a system for ordering, but the staff are very friendly so I managed to get by hand gesturing and crappy Japanese. For the uninitiated: 1. Wait outside the stall cos there is likely a long line 2. Go in when someone tells you to and head to the ordering machine where you select your noodles. For simplicity, I just ordered ramen ラ-メン、750 yen. 3. Stand somewhere in the stall behind someone until a seat opens (don't sit down if there are others standing up) 4. Wait for your MASSIVE ramen. Great soup, very springy noodles and very very generous with meat and veg. 5. Finish your food quickly and wipe the table RECOMMENDED IF YOURE UP FOR A LOCAL EXPERIENCE AND ARE NOT AFRAID TO LOOK A LIL SILLY
