The other day, I really wanted to eat Jiro ramen, so I visited the Jiro-inspired restaurant "Pig Gang Hachioji Store" that opened last year in Hachioji for the first time. Access is from JR Hachioji Station, take Hachioji Station U-Road Nishi-Radiation Street toward Takao (west), turn left at the diagonal intersection where the radiation is interrupted and there is a daizushi, and head towards the direction where the movie theater called New Hachioji Cinema used to be. So, when you hit the Yokamachi Minami intersection of National Route 16, you can see the hormone yakiniku Tenryu in front of you, so if you go straight through that intersection for about 50 meters, you will see a store with a yellow exterior. Address is here: 6-11 Minamimachi, Hachioji City, Tokyo Since it was my first time, I chose the basic pig gang ramen. I bought a ticket for raw egg and garlic quail with toppings. The amount of noodles is 200g, and the noodles are usually hard, so the hardness of the noodles is left as it is. At the ticket vending machine, I saw an attractive killer word such as "TKG", so I bought it without hesitation. This was the right answer. I asked for all the calls to be normal. In about 5 minutes, the "back fat TKG" arrives first. It's the first time I've had a collaboration between back fat and egg rice, but I love TKG and back fat, so I was able to predict the taste. The egg yolk neutralizes the sweetness of the back fat and the dark soy sauce flavor, and as expected, it is the best match! Squid even if there is a specialty store for this! After a while, the pork gang ramen also arrived. The soup is a Jiro ramen from Fukuoka in Kyushu, so it looks more like a pork bone soy sauce type of Fukuoka tonkotsu ramen than a typical Jiro-inspired soy sauce-based soup. The noodles are also very satisfying. As you can see, the soup was like a creamy pork bone soy sauce, and I didn't get tired of it in the middle and it was delicious until the end. Next time, I'll have to call out, "With back fat!" https://hachi-navi.com/gourmet/ramen/128442...

Ramen lovers are Chinabi staff. The other day, I went to "Kagoshima Tonkotsu Ramen Nanshu", which I hadn't visited yet! According to the Information of Tabelog, it seems that it just opened last year in December 2024. The location was There is a along the Koshu-kaido near the Hachioji City Central Library, about a 5-minute walk from Nishi Hachioji Station toward Takao Station. It is about a 1-minute walk from the intersection where Bookoff and Glasses Store are located, along the Megane Store side toward Takao. It may be the first time for the Kagoshima ramen genre. It looks like tonkotsu ramen topped with bean sprouts. When I sipped the soup, I felt that it was light at first, but as I ate it with straight thin noodles, I could feel the pork bone feeling! The flavor of char siu and noodles was firmly attached, and the bean sprouts refreshed my mouth, so I enjoyed it until the end! I would like to revisit it again.
