Restaurant Overview
Features and Specialties
- Noodle and Rice Entertainment Satisfying Toyama’s Hunger in All Directions : A “Menpany” (Noodle and Rice Shop) in Nakagawara, Toyama City, featuring an extensive selection of not just ramen but also rice dishes. It’s a lively shop catering to wide-ranging needs, from the hard-working generations wanting a hearty meal to families.
- The Stimulating Signature Item: “Piping Hot Mapo Ramen” : Befitting the shop name “Jan” (Jiang/Sauce), the Mapo Ramen—topped with plenty of Mapo Tofu concentrating authentic umami—is extremely popular. The numbing spice and rich sauce clinging to the noodles create an addiction you won’t forget once you’ve tried it.
- A Wealth of “Creative Bowls” : Beyond Mapo Ramen, the menu is packed with items combining playfulness and volume, such as Jiro-inspired and stamina-style dishes. It’s a lineup that always suggests a challenge toward new flavors.

Improvements/Negative Review Trends
