Jiro-kei Ramen

Short description: This ramen style is known for oversized portions, dense noodles, and a mountain of vegetables and pork.
Ingredients: Thick ramen noodles with pork broth, soy sauce tare, pork slices, bean sprouts, cabbage, garlic, and back fat.
Cultural note: It grew from a single shop style into a recognizable ramen subculture with dedicated fans and imitators.
Common misconception: It is not a delicate noodle soup; the oversized portion and heavy toppings are part of the identity.
