Ramen Būsan

At Ramen Būsan, enjoying Jiro-style ramen is as much about choosing the toppings as it is about the noodles and broth. Diners have mentioned options including seasoned fat, wood ear mushrooms, vegetables, spring onion and bonito flakes. One visitor enjoyed dipping noodles into the seasoned fat as well as mixing it into the bowl. Others noted the satisfying texture of wood ear mushrooms alongside the noodles and seasoned fat. You can also vary each bite by dipping the vegetables into the fat or adding bonito flakes partway through the meal.

Several visitors singled out the thick noodles and their firm texture. They may suit diners who like a substantial bite, while one visitor who preferred softer noodles said they asked for them that way when ordering. Reviews also mention thick slices of pork and vegetables centred on bean sprouts. You can tailor the bowl to your taste, whether by adding extra vegetables or changing things up with seasoned fat or wood ear mushrooms.

For a smaller serving, there is a small ramen. Other reported menu options include tantanmen, rich tsukemen and special abura soba, offering alternatives to the Jiro-style bowl. Visitors have also written about seasonal miso and salt ramen, giving you another flavour to look out for depending on the time of year.

The restaurant is an option for lunch or dinner, with both dine-in and takeaway available. Payment is cash only, so come prepared.
