Prologue
Among the many Jiro series and Jiro style inspires, ``Butayama” I personally quite like it.
I think the texture of the noodles and the soup are similar to Jiro's.
Of course, I like direct stores, but there are often long lines and long wait times at all stores.
Butayama doesn't have as many queues and waiting times as the direct line, and you can enjoy a taste similar to that of the direct line.Jiro is light in many ways.”I think it is.
This time, we will be talking about ``Butayama Tokyo Ramen Yokocho branch”.
Liquor and whiskey lovers often visit Yaesu near Tokyo Station as there are liquor stores with a good selection called Liquors Hasegawa Honten and Kitaguchi Branch.
There is Tokyo Ramen Yokocho just near the north exit store, so I decided to try this restaurant while visiting the liquor stores.Butayama” I often visit.
About Tokyo Ramen Street and Tokyo Ramen Yokocho
It has been appearing frequently since a while ago.Tokyo Ramen Alley”, but “Tokyo Station x Ramen” If you say “Tokyo Ramen Street'I think you'll remember it.
I think the representative store on Tokyo Ramen Street is Rokurinsha of Tsukemen (Dipping Noodles), which has a line every time I go there.
In addition to Rokurinsha, there are other attractive stores with various flavors.
- Ramen balls (dried sardines)
- Sora no Iro NIPPON (soy sauce, veggie soba, etc.)
- Rokurinsha (Tsukemen (Dipping Noodles))
- Hirugao (salt)
- Oreshiki Jun (pork bone)
- Hanadoan (miso)
- Innovator TOKYO (family)
- Tokyo Station Ikaruga (seafood pork bone)
As a rival to Tokyo Ramen Street, ```` opened at the end of June 2022 at Tokyo Station Yaesu.Tokyo Ramen Alley”.
- Chinese noodles Nagaoka Shokudo (Nagaoka ginger soy sauce)
- Miso Ramen Itoi (Miso)
- Fuunji (Tsukemen (Dipping Noodles))
- Yokohama Family Machida Shoten (family)
- Butayama (Jiro type)
- Abura Soba Ganso Aburado (Abura Soba)
- Kyushu pot-cooked tonkotsu Gatton (pork bone)
There are 7 stores in total.
Not found on Tokyo Ramen Streetfamily lineage(*Innovator TOKYO will also open on Ramen Street in October 2023)” and “Jiro type』、『Abura soba”, and the lineup is very trendy, so I think it's quite attractive.
However, there are some points that some people find disappointing. .
This means that the six stores, excluding Fuunji, are brands operated by a company called Gift Holdings Co., Ltd.
As for the fact that they are capital-affiliated or chain-owned, some parts of Tokyo Ramen Street are also chain-owned, so I think they are the same in this respect.
Some of the Tokyo Ramen Street locations are the same, but each one is managed by a different company, so I think it's a little too obvious to say that all of them are managed by the same company. . It depends on how you feel.
Butayama Ramen Yokocho store
Regardless of whether it's a chain, privately run, or operated by the same company, in the end people will visit if it's delicious.
Then, such ``Butayama Tokyo Ramen Yokocho branch” How was it?
I visited around 13:30 on the last day of a three-day weekend in November.
I intended to shift the peak lunch time a little, but it turned out to be a three-day weekend. . There was a line of about 10 people.
I had plans to go to a liquor store after this, so I wasn't sure if I should line up, but since my mouth was craving pork, I decided to line up.
Purchase your meal ticket first and then wait in line.
Even if you forget to buy a meal ticket and end up lining up, is there a signboard? guidance? It also says that you should buy a meal ticket before lining up, so I'm sure you'll notice this while you're lining up.
By the way, the food ticket machine accepts various types of electronic money, including transportation ICs such as Suica, and QR code payments.
I expected to wait about 30 minutes, but I was seated in about 10 minutes, and my bowl was served in about 5 minutes.
Dai Ramen (Large Ramen) All masiare
Cole is ``All Masiale』。
Today'sThat's it” was red ginger.
『That's it” contents change every time, so please check on the official app or at the store.
I'll take it then.
Yasai has a bit of a Kuta flavor that I like.
It's not overcooked, so I think it depends on your personal preference and the store's policy as to whether you prefer Kuta-style or Shaki-style.
Today's soup was lukewarm and slightly salty.
As I continued to eat, the saltiness became less as the yasai soaked into the soup, so I added some kaeshi from the table for the first time and adjusted it to just the right amount of salt.
I was told to adjust the saltiness and the strength of the flavor as there was a kettle on the table, but the temperature of the soup was a little off. .
The surface of the noodles was very soft, but the inside was still a bit powdery, and to be honest, it wasn't very tasty.
On the other hand, I wonder how I can boil it like this.
The pork will be a little cold, so warm it up in the soup.
Then, the Guinea Holo God Pig will appear.
Pork is stable no matter when you eat it.
At chain restaurants, the taste is less likely to change, soThe taste I ate this time = the same taste next timeI think you will decide whether or not to visit next time by imagining that.
To be honest, if I had visited Butayama for the first time,It was at a level where I thought there would be no next time.
I've been to this store and other stores several times, and the food has been delicious so I'll be back next time, but if it's at this level next time, I don't think I'll at least try this store next time. .
Personally run shops and direct Jiro may be unstable, butEven the chain shakes” It was a very educational cup.
You don't have to imitate it that much. .
So, thank you for the meal.
