Menya Appare Domannaka Nishiki Mujuku

A 10-seater Jiro-style mazesoba (soupless ramen) specialty shop in the Nishiki-3 area of Nagoya. "Menya Appare Domannaka Nishiki", which has been operating since July 2010, was renovated in February 2026, transforming into a soupless specialty store with "Mujuku" (Soupless x Aged Sauce) added to its name. Its biggest feature is the use of special extra-thick wavy noodles sourced from Asakusa Kaikaro. Each strand is thick, and its wavy surface firmly holds the aged sauce, offering a satisfying "washi-washi" and "gowa-gowa" texture where the aroma of wheat and the outline of soy sauce emerge with every bite. The signature soy sauce has a depth like "layered soy sauce", where aged sauces overlap in multiple layers, making it taste richer with the third and fifth bites than with the first. Toppings include shredded pork chashu (not in block), thoroughly seasoned bean sprouts, coarsely ground pepper, and characteristic "pork soft bones" (豚軟骨) scattered throughout, providing a crunchy textural accent. When ordering, free customization is available with the standard Jiro-style "calls" forニンニク (ninniku, garlic), ヤサイ (yasai, vegetables), アブラ (abura, back fat), and カラメ (karame, more sauce), and Nagoya's unique size designation "dera-mori" (dera-mori, Nagoya dialect for "extra large") is also used. Derivative menus are wide-ranging, including "Do-Maze" with cheese and Baby Star ramen snacks, Spicy Jiro, shrimp mayonnaise topping, 6-Baka (600g) super large size, Spicy Tsukemen, and Pork Spicy series, etc. On the 26th of every month, "Jiro Day" offers free noodle upsize (with an upper limit). Many reviews also mention that the staff, though appearing reserved, provide polite service, making this a place that doesn't feel like the typical stern Jiro-style atmosphere.
