Restaurant Overview
Features and Specialties
- The Passion of “Jiro-inspired” Resonating in Toyama : A popular shop in Minami-shinmachi, Toyama City, gaining massive support mainly from young people for its overwhelming portions and energy. Derived from the Kyoto-born “Yume wo Katare” (Speak Your Dreams) group, it offers a positive space where diners can share their dreams alongside the satisfaction of finishing a bowl.
- Brain-shaking “Ultra-rich Tonkotsu Shoyu Soup” : A broth where a massive amount of pork bones are simmered to the limit, seasoned with a punchy soy-sauce tare and MSG. The plentiful back-fat covering the soup and the powerful hit of garlic create a unique addiction; one bite and you’ll be captivated by its magic.
- “Extra-thick Chewy Noodles and Meat” Requiring a Tenchi-Gaeshi : Homemade extra-thick curly noodles that intensely soak up the soup. Defined by a powerful, chewy texture, the pleasure of eating through a mountain of “yasai” (bean sprouts and cabbage) is exceptional. The thickly cut “buta” (chashu) is also very tender and extremely satisfying.

Positive Review Trends
- Happy to be able to eat such authentic Jiro-style in Toyama. The “junky” level is the best!
- Staff are always cheerful, with shouts like “Good Job!” giving you energy.
- The chewy noodles and tender pork are perfect.
Improvements/Negative Review Trends
- Because the volume is immense, finishing can be difficult if a beginner thoughtlessly orders “Large.”
- Due to the unique ordering rules (calls), first-timers might be a bit nervous.
Summary & Recommendations
Recommended For:
- Big eaters wanting to indulge in “Jiro-style that fills you to bursting” in Toyama.
- Those seeking a “junky bowl” packed with punchy garlic, back-fat, and soy sauce.
- Diners wanting to receive positive energy in a lively shop atmosphere.
Tips for Your Visit:
- For first-timers, we strongly recommend starting with “Less Noodles” or “Regular (300g).” The call (the garlic question) is asked just before serving. The feeling of achievement after finishing is like no other. As opening hours may change, check official Twitter for the latest information before heading out.
