Here is an article about the ramen shop 'Menya Daikin'. It uses captivating headlines and adheres to the specified tone and style.

The Jiro Legacy of Utsunomiya

Nestled in a back alley of Miyuki Honcho, Utsunomiya, this small house-like shop stands quietly. But once you open its door, you step into the aromatic world of Jiro ramen. As its name suggests, 'Menya Daikin' is a prestigious shop that inherits the essence of Jiro Shinjuku.

A Stage of Smoky Oil Aroma

Entering the shop, the smoky oil aroma from the counter greets you warmly. While the interior is simply Jiro-style, the counter seats are neatly arranged, and the space at the back creates a relaxed atmosphere.

The Core of Jiro That Captivates Eaters

The menu is as simple as it gets. There's only one type of ramen, but you can choose the firmness of the noodles and the amount of seasoning. What's served is a traditional Jiro-style bowl, with soup and ingredients piled high. However, the non-emulsified, refreshing taste is easy to eat, and the presence of vegetables and chashu (pork) stands out.

Worth the Queue

It's understandable that people start queuing before it opens. Lunchtime is very crowded, so it's advisable to go early. It's recommended not only for Jiro fans who love rich oil but also for beginners.

It's great that you can choose the hardness of the noodles. Normal and slightly soft. The thickness of the pigs was thin for a while, but recently it has returned to its original thickness. The quality is among the top three Jiro families in Utsunomiya City. *The remaining two are from Jiro Shinjuku store (managers) It is also highly rated that if you go with multiple people or children, they will guide you to a tatami room.

So-called Jiro style ramen The main family seems to have rules and strict rules, so I was scared and didn't have the courage to go there, but this time I happened to be invited by a friend and I was able to go to Ogane-san. We arrived around 11:30 p.m. Luckily, there was just one space available in the parking lot in front of the store. The waiting list inside the restaurant is also full, so buy a ticket and wait outside. The rotation was fast and after about 10 minutes I was waiting inside the store. Afterwards, the staff will come and ask you how you like your ramen. This is a great service for me as an amateur. Eventually, a seat became available, we were shown to our seats, and within a few minutes we were served our bowls. I expected Jiro-style ramen to be more mushy, but this one seems to be a non-emulsified restaurant, so the soup was refreshing and very easy for me to eat. The char siu is well-cooked and has a strong flavor. It's meaty and very tasty. Low-temperature-cooked char siu that's been trending lately? As someone who is not good at it, I was very happy. The soy sauce-based soup had quite a strong flavor, but since there were a lot of vegetables, it felt like it was worth 0. The garlic and pork fat were a perfect match, and even though I thought it was dangerous, I ended up eating the fat. I had no idea what the Jiro flavor tasted like, but I feel like I've finally gotten rid of the blockage in my chest. Also, it has become a store I want to visit after a while.

I found this shop on Instagram and finally came here during Golden Week. When we arrived 5 minutes before opening, there were 7-8 people in line. This is the true value of G noodles! I had a blissful time with garlic aphids! I would like to go there again if I have the chance.

Visited after 12:00 on Thursday in early April 2024. There are 3 people in line, which is unusual for Jiro-type customers, and the inside of the store is large and spacious, so you can wait in the waiting chairs inside the store, which is great on rainy days. It wasn't full, but it seemed like the surgery wasn't in time, so there was a wait. While waiting, the staff encouraged me to buy a meal ticket, and I bought a small ramen for 900 yen. Those planning to eat at the counter will only be asked about the hardness of the noodles, and the vegetables, garlic, and fat of the cole will be asked just before they are served. On the other hand, those planning to sit in the tatami room will be asked to call while waiting, as the tatami room and the kitchen are separated and cannot be heard directly. It took quite a while to be provided. I ordered the cole with more vegetables, garlic, and a little fat. Please look at the photo to see how much vegetables I have added.The one on the right is mine, which is quite a large amount, and the one on the left is my companion's average amount of vegetables. Among the Jiro types, there are a lot of vegetables, so please be careful as there are a lot of additions. The vegetables were crunchy and the chashu was hidden under the vegetables. The char siew is not roses but rather blocks and is quite thick, giving it a chewy texture. The noodles are quite chewy and you can feel Jiro. However, I was disappointed that the bowl was small and it was difficult to mix it with the soup, and that it was warmed up overall, which didn't seem to bring out the full flavor. It's a new store, so I'm looking forward to seeing how things start going.
