NAKANO: ButaYama that super heavy ramen similar to Jiro Style aka Jiro-Kei! Its sooo filling and sooo tasty! (iPhone 12 Mini)

It was my birthday weekend and I made an exception to eat a wonderful bowl of hella fatty lardy tasty ramen with chunky noodles! At the entrance there is a pre-payment vending machine.

Chef will ask your preference to customize the ramen toppings.
1. Garlic 2. Veggie Volume 3. Fatty Lard volume 4. Extra flavoring.

Large L shaped counter seating...

Video of all the goodness of this heavy calorie ramen!

Here it is! Customized as... Little bit of Garlic, Little Bit Veggies 150 grams, Large portion of flavorful fatty lard! I didnt ask for the soup to be super flavorful as they just put a scoop of seasoning inside. Its super flavorful as is. 

2 Huge Chunks of CharSiu Pork! Soooo meaty!

Super thick chewy noodles... LIKE!

OMG! Sooo good yet soo bad for anyone on a diet.

So as for the new pricing system.  The basic ButaYama ramen is 900 yen for 125 grams of noodles or 950 yen for 250 grams.  125g is just too little for me and 250g too much! I usually max out at 180-200grams. This night I paid the extra 50 yen but did have left overs.  Since its always rather busy it may take about 10-15 minutes until the chef asks you about the way you want to customize.  They didn't speak Japanese to me so you can just say FUTSUU to the chef when he calls on you... which means standard topping.  Standard is 300 grams of boiled veggie topping, normal volume of fatty lard topping and normal flavoring.  Id probably skip the garlic topping as it can be quite overwhelming. 

Check out my February 2020 entry just before Covid and Ukraine.  Prices were much cheaper.
