Ramen Jiro Koiwa

Rating78SCORE
WHY IT'S A MESHI MAP PICK
Locals keep coming back. That is the real proof.
地元の人が、通い続ける。それが何よりの証明。
A genuine direct-lineage Jiro shop tracing back to the original Jimbocho location, this Koiwa branch sits just a three-minute walk from Koiwa Station's north exit.
神保町を源流に持つ直系二郎の一角として、小岩駅北口から徒歩3分の地に構える。
Despite operating only at lunchtime on weekdays, lines of 15 or more people form before the doors open every single day, with the kitchen regularly running out of noodles before service ends.
平日の昼間のみという限られた営業時間にもかかわらず、開店前から毎日15人以上が列を作り、麺切れ終了が常態化している。
The generously portioned bowl at around 1,000 yen showcases deeply savory chashu pork in a clean, non-emulsified broth, and the shop has long been cherished by locals and devoted Jiro fans alike under the affectionate nickname 'Koiwa Jiro'.
1,000円前後で提供されるボリューム満点の一杯は旨みのある豚と非乳化スープの組み合わせが絶妙で、「小岩二郎」の愛称で地元民とジロリアン双方から長年愛されてきた。
