Maguro Soba Juyoya / Suizenji Yojiro
Restaurant Overview
Key Features
- A hybrid popular shop with two distinct faces: “Maguro” (Tuna) during the day and “Jiro-style” at night.
- The lunch session features refined “Maguro Ramen” made with a generous amount of dried tuna flakes. The clear, low-temperature simmered soup offers an elegant seafood aroma.
- At night, it transforms into “Yojiro,” serving hearty Jiro-style ramen with uniquely long (approximately 1 meter!) homemade extra-thin noodles.

Positive Review Trends
- The maguro-flake soup is surprisingly light and elegant—so good you could drink it all.
- The extra-thin noodles have a great texture, and their 1-meter length is a fun talking point.
- The evening Jiro-style is filling but clearly crafted with a high-quality, thoughtful soup.
- Located just steps away from the famous Suizenji Park, making it very tourism-friendly.
Areas for Improvement
- Since the lunch and dinner concepts are completely different, double-check the time to ensure you get the menu you want.
- The Jiro-style can be quite heavy with extra toppings, so order carefully based on your appetite.
