All that wait for 45 minutes was worth it! I have been to 3 Jiro style ramen places. In Boston, los Angeles and here in Yokohama. All locations almost have same wait time. But here in L. A they have chairs, canopy and heaters! Boston and here in Japan you have to stand in line… I was here late April and I can use that heater because it is still cold out! Hahaha but that did not stop me from trying this once in a lifetime oppurtunity! It was totally different style of placing your order here, you do it on the vending machine and ticket comes out… But my problem was it was only in japanese! Hahahaha… So i have to ask help from my fellow ramen lovers and with some basic japanese language I know and some sign language I was able to get the buta ramen i want. Different veggies they use here, i am use to sprout in the mix but here it’s cabbage. It have a little difference in taste but no big deal. The soup was awesome! It’s worth the wait!!! I put in the garlic and soup is a lot better in states. They have less oil and not so thick soup. The meat is less but taste the same as the other jiro places. This place match head to head with yume wo Katare of Boston! You must try this!!!
