Japanese insight

A legendary ramen shop that has earned a cult following among locals and international celebrities alike. It is famously known as a favorite spot for actor Keanu Reeves, who is often spotted here during his visits to Japan.

• Keanu’s Choice: The "Kobonshan" If you want to eat like a movie star, order the Kobonshan with "all the toppings" (Zenbu-iri). This Kumamoto-style ramen is defined by its deep, rich pork broth and a signature dark roasted garlic oil (Mayu). The Mayu adds a smoky, fragrant complexity to the creamy soup, making it an incredibly bold and satisfying bowl.

• A Diverse Menu for Every Preference While Jangara is a master of heavy, traditional Tonkotsu, they are also pioneers in catering to modern dietary needs.

  • Variety of Styles: From the mild and clean original Jangara broth to the spicy "Karabon," there is a pork base for every palate.

  • Vegan Options: They offer a high-quality Vegan Ramen that doesn't compromise on flavor, using a clever blend of vegetable umami to create a rich experience without animal products.

• A Welcoming, Lively Vibe The interior is colorful, warm, and filled with a nostalgic "Old Japan" charm. Despite its celebrity fans, the shop remains humble, friendly, and accessible, making it a perfect casual lunch or dinner stop after shopping in Ginza.
