Buta-arashi

At Buta-arashi, diners have praised the udon-like thickness of the noodles; one reviewer found they kept their bite right to the end when ordered firm. For anyone after the generous portions associated with Jiro-style ramen, the bowls here offer plenty to savour in both the noodles and pork.

Some diners describe the pork as tender enough to pull apart with chopsticks, while others enjoyed small, softly crumbling pieces for their flavour. You can also add extra pork. Orders with adjusted amounts of vegetables, garlic and backfat have been reported, so it is possible to tailor the meal to your appetite—for example, by choosing fewer noodles and selecting your preferred toppings.

Several diners have found the soy sauce flavour in the soup pronounced, with a clear saltiness. One reviewer said the flavour mellowed as they worked through the vegetables, so pairing the soup with vegetables may be worth considering if you are mindful of its intensity.

Alongside ramen, diners have also shared impressions of tsukemen (dipping noodles) and mazesoba (mixed noodles), offering other ways to enjoy the noodles. First-time diners have reported receiving clear guidance on how to order, including when asking about noodle portions and toppings.

Dine-in meals are available, and the restaurant also suits solo diners. Payment is cash only, and reservations are not accepted.
