This is the most unhealthy type of ramen, but it is said to be the most delicious type of ramen. It's probably a local Japanese food that's completely different from the ramen that everyone eats in general. Have you ever eaten??
It’s easy to find similar in the US. Americans love tonkotsu-broth based ramen, and the portion sizes in the US are generally always quite large by default. There are many US ramen restaurants that either specifically offer Jiro-style ramen, or that will prepare it that way if you ask (or combine the necessary menu options when ordering).

Reminds me more of pho than ramen; lots of pho places in my area and you get a big pile of bean sprouts with it.
Most of the photos I’ve seen of jiro style are just absurd though, like an entire ass meal on top of the bowl before you even get to the ramen.

I really like it as an occasional treat, I could eat it for lunch and then not anything for the rest of the day I’m so full after. As someone who lives garlic flavor, it’s pretty good!

Yes, it is indeed delicious! I like it with extra garlic because I have no self respect.
There is actually a place in Massachusetts that serves it called [Yume Wo Katare](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yume_Wo_Katare). The original owner has since moved back to Japan, but he left the Massachusetts location in good hands!

Once, at the Mita Honten. Got served by the founder himself. I liked the soup, but I wasn’t impressed enough to join the cult. My stomach felt awful for the rest of the day.

Replace the noodles with more cabbage and sprouts and it could be quite healthy (at least from a keto perspective).

A ramen dish aimed at younger generations that prioritizes portion size.
It’s not the most delicious ramen. B-grade gourmet food.

that pile of sprouts and garlic is insane, looks like it could feed two people and still have leftovers sitting in your stomach for days

I’m not a fan of jiro kei ramen. I much prefer a shio or shoyu. Maybe I’m just getting old.
