Ramen Miyarou

A highly perfected Jiro-inspired (Jiro-kei) ramen shop located a 5-minute walk from JR Kamata Station West Exit (along the Tamagawa Line, 1F of Pub Seven). It's a sister shop to "Miyamoto," a popular niboshi (dried sardine) tsukemen (dipping noodles) shop in the same Kamata area. It has gathered long-standing support since its operations in Shin-Koiwa, and even after relocating to Kamata, it has established itself as a shop that maintains stable quality among Jiro-style (Jiro-kei) ramen. The signature Ramen Nami (regular size) for 1000 yen features a rich and powerful soy-sauce based soup that is well-emulsified (or sometimes a sharp, non-emulsified style on certain days). It's a bowl where the saltiness of the kaeshi (tare sauce) and the depth of the pork broth are balanced at a high level. The soup's tuning varies widely depending on the day and limited menus, ranging from an ankake (thickened sauce) soup resembling a stir-fry from a local Chinese diner to a rich, authentic Jiro-style soy sauce. The noodles are homemade, flat, extra-thick noodles, characterized by a firm, "washi-washi" texture and a distinct wheat aroma. They are perfectly cooked and easily entangle with even the ankake soup. The greatest feature is the chashu (braised pork belly) called "Buta" (pork), which is thick and substantial yet moist, tender, and juicy, earning it a top-class reputation among Jiro-inspired (Jiro-kei) shops. The lean meat, infused with soy sauce, and the sweetness of the fat form layers of flavor, making it an excellent pairing with a side of rice. Toppings are ordered via the standard Jiro-style (Jiro-kei) verbal call (yasai/garlic/abura/karame) when submitting your meal ticket. If you say "futsu" (normal), all yasai (vegetables), garlic, and abura (pork back fat) will be included. Extra noodles (an additional 100g before boiling) are free, a raw egg is 80 yen, seasoned abura (pork back fat) is 100 yen, and there is a rich variety of other toppings such as quail eggs, cheese, and rice. It features a remarkable number of limited-time menus, often reaching the prominence of regular signature dishes. These include the limited Soupless Curry Mazemen (mixed noodles), Taiwan Mazesoba (mixed noodles), Nishi-Kama Jang-Men (a sweet and spicy offal noodle developed to be a Nishi-Kamata specialty), guerrilla-limited Pork Belly and Bean Sprout Ankake Noodles, Shrimp Ramen (soy sauce/salt/spicy, with shrimp oil), and tsukemen (dipping noodles) available only during evening hours. This diverse selection ensures that regular customers never get bored, offering a different experience with each visit. The tables are equipped with various condiments for flavor customization, such as garimayo (garlic mayonnaise), pepper, and chili flakes, allowing you to adjust the balance of the junk-food-like umami and the aromatic, flat, thick noodles to your liking. Business hours are split into two parts: Monday to Saturday 11:00-15:17 / 17:30-21:00, closed on Sundays.
