ラーメン / Ramen / Ramen Zenzen - Musashi-Shinjō, Kanagawa

Jiro inspired ramen consisting of tonkotsu shoyu soup with pork chashu, back fat, beans sprouts, cabbage and garlic. Thick, ropey noodles are house-made and cooked al dente, 350g (before boiling) for the regular size. Spicy garlic chives added on extra.

Some rules of the shop are as follows:
1. Wait in line first before buying your ticket from the vending machine.
2. Even if there are open seats, customers must wait to be told by the staff where to sit.
3. If you want to order noodles extra firm, the code word to tell the staff is "Haribo" (like the German gummy candy).
4. No photos are allowed inside the shop other than the ramen.
5. When you finish eating, put the bowl on the upper counter and wipe the lower counter clean with the provided wet cloth.

Ramen Zenzen offers limited specials and sometimes closes suddenly, so checking the Twitter page is advised (@ramen_zenzen). The master trained at the Jiro style shop Hasumi. 12 seats total. Open since October 2018.
