Jikaseimen No.11 ASAKUSA

A Jiro-inspired ramen shop of the Fujimaru lineage, with its main store in Oyama, has opened in Asakusa. The overwhelming volume comes from its emulsified tonkotsu-shoyu soup, 350g (pre-boiled) of firm, chewy, thick, flat homemade noodles, and a gigantic pork chashu almost the size of the bowl's radius. If you order fewer noodles (280g), you receive a complimentary raw egg, which regulars often enjoy "sukiyaki-style" by dipping their noodles in it. It operates on a ticket vending machine system, and you can make "calls" for toppings (extra vegetables, fat, garlic). However, the staff provides exceptionally polite service, so even first-time visitors can order with peace of mind. It's a 5-minute walk from Tsukuba Express Asakusa Station, but about a 12-minute walk from Tobu and Toei Asakusa Stations.

1. **Before Entering (If there's a queue)** If there's a queue, up to 3 people should line up on the bench to the left of the entrance. From the 4th person onwards, please form a line to the right of the entrance. 2. **Purchasing Meal Tickets / Ordering** Please purchase your meal ticket from the vending machine before taking a seat. Please observe other customers to understand the proper timing for purchasing tickets (i.e., whether to buy before or after entering). The ticket machine accepts cash only and does not have English indications or photos. The standard noodle portion is a generous 350g. If you choose "Small portion (少なめ - 280g)," you will receive a complimentary raw egg or ginger sauce. 3. **Seating and Receiving** Once you are seated, a staff member will come to collect your meal ticket. At that time, you will be asked about the toppings for your ramen (「Yasai: amount of vegetables」, 「Abura: amount of back fat」, 「Ninniku: presence/absence of garlic」). Please tell them your preferences. The staff will kindly explain everything to you.
