Finally visited Butayama in Gotanda after work. Already 15 people in line. Ordered “Ramen” without hesitation, adding white chopped scallions. After 5 minutes of waiting at my seat, Butayama’s masterpiece appeared – a golden triangle of mountain-high vegetables, thick chashu pork, and rich broth.
Sweating from the first bite. The pork-concentrated soup embodies the essence of Jiro-style ramen. The thick noodles have a strong presence, with vegetables providing a pleasant textural accent.
Finished in 20 minutes. Might be overwhelming for Jiro-style beginners, but Butayama is a must-visit for authentic Jiro-style ramen experience.
Rating: ★★★★☆ Wait time: 30min Price: 1000+ yen Recommendation: Must-try for Jiro-style ramen fans
