特製辛つけ麺 / Tokusei Kara Tsukemen / Buta Nova — Kokubunji, Tokyo

Jiro style tonkotsu-shoyu soup is served with spicy chili oil. The pork bone soup is cooked from early morning to late at night, changing from non-emulsified to fully emulsified depending on the time of day. Extra thick homemade noodles are cut straight and flat, containing 100% Oshon brand flour. Topped with thick slabs of pork chashu as well as pulled pork meat, pork back fat, bean sprouts, cabbage, minced garlic, negi and boiled quail eggs. Chopped onions (extra add-on) served on the side.

Master Gou Hodota-san first ate at various Jiro style shops with his friends, becoming fascinated with the genre. He then trained for four years at the Saitama-based Jiro-inspired shops D-men and Fujimaru (Higashi-Urawa branch) before going independent. His aim was to create a shop that would satisfy both first-time Jiro-style eaters, as well as harcore Jiro fans. Open 11am-12am. 12 seats. Since October 1st, 2023 @buta_nova
