Jiro, the Ramen

Japanese people love ramen. They eat it like they are obsessed. Everyday, how much ramen are consumed in this nation? Well, that is a kind of a question that God can possibly answer. Their love for ramen invented instant ramen. Now, that thingy are loved even by Solid Snake, the famous character on MGS video game series. Moreover, it can be found all over the world nowadays. Okay, this story ain’t about instant ramen invention or its world wide spread. Let’s get back to the topic.

Jiro is the general term declaring Jiro-related or Jiro-inspired ramen shops. Headquater of Jiro is located at Mita near fucking phat university, Keio University. This time, I went to Jiro at Shinagawa with a assistance of @takeshik, a Jiro enthusiast.

We arrived at the shop around 12pm, and found many people were waiting in the line. We waited for about 20 mins. We purchased ticket for ramen. If I remember correctly, there are small Ramen, large Ramen, small fucking Pork Ramen and large fucking Pork Ramen. Even if you purchased the ticket, unless there is not available seat, you can’t go inside of the shop. If you do so, almost Yakuza-looking owner will yell at you. So be careful.

Since I didn’t know about toppings, I just said what my buddy said! There are 4 toppings you can optionally put on your ramen: Vegitable(consisting of cooked bean sprouts and cabbage), Minced Garlic, Pork back fat, Extra sauce.

I said, Vegitable and Garlic.

The day before this, I had attended the ceremony at TOKYO. It was actually 6 minutes ceremony. Anyway, after that, I stayed at the HOTEL. It was kind of scary hotel. All aisles were dark enough to scare me, and my room was dark too even if I turned on all the lights. I was not able to sleep well.

More worse, hard toothbrush was served.

That hard toothbrush made a scratch on my mouth tissue; consequently it made me difficult to enjoy highly garlic-effective ramen. Too much pain. Incapable to overcome. I gave up rest of 20%.

Taste was good. But, I prefer to have no vegitables on top of my ramen.

Minced Garlic is fine. But, you need breath care.

Next time I face you, no scratches in my mouth.

Love,
