Aaah, i'm hungry. Misa, let's eat something on way home.
Yes, that sounds great. What should we eat?
Ramen~
We won't lining up that long just for eat right?
No! No! No! Absolutely no!
What?
That is Koizumi-san? Koizumi-san?
Yes, Koizumi-san, the mysterious transfer student.
Misa didn't like her.
She hasn't speak with anyone since transferring.
She emitting a bad aura.
Don't say it like that.
Here it comes, the beauty girls lover.
My favorite beauty~
Wait!
Oi, Yuu. I'm going back first then, sigh.
Koizumi-san.
Do you know me? I'm your classmate, Osawa Yu.
Koizumi-san going to eat ramen alone, that's surprising.
Surprising.
Because i'm not going for hang out.
Thanks for waiting.
Uwaaa~ Seems delicious.
Itadakimasu~
Wh... What is it?
Wh... What a beautiful smile!
But it's seems like a normal ramen,
Is it that delicious?
She came back.
It is unwise to judge the ramen just by the looks.
This golden Fujoki-san's soba is...
The pig and pork was shimmered in seafood soup,
And then the ramen combined with a plenty of clams, it is exceptional.
The sweetness of pig bones joined with the seafood flavor,
And finally, the taste of the clams is melting in the mouth.
Truly Superb Triple Harmony.
To say that this is normal ramen, there must be something wrong with you.
So.. Sorry.
A.. Awesome.

This drama is a fiction, but the ramen shop in it is a real ramen shop.
Episode 1 : Jiro
Eh? I lost her~
Yuu~, let's go home together.
Ah, sorry, you can go home first.
Is it about that transfer student again?
She is too mysterious, curious. Curious?
Curious~ Curious~
Ah! Koizumi-san!
Koizumi-saaan~
Wait! Why are you in hurry?
It's you again.
Um, Koizumi-san. Yes.
Can i help with your bag? Why?
Of course, because i want to get along better.
I don't really understand though.
It's ok, It's ok. Come on.
Enough. Don't be shy, come on.
Ah, sorry.
Eh? What's with this heartmark.
Who is Jiro?
Anyway what is it?
Koizumi-san, you have a boyfriend?
Eee~ It can't be.
Are you going to meet Jiro-kun?
It is a misunderstanding.
What kind of person Jiro-kun is? Can i come too, i won't interfereing.
It's okay just looking from distance.
Please stop.
Anyway, it's not a boyfriend.
Eh? You write it there right?
On today's date, "Jiro".
Who is Jiro? Jiro...
It can't be, in Hachioji.
Even riding train for 1 hour.
Not yet? I'm tired.
You can go home. It can't be.
Here it is.
Ah! Jiro is...
Not a boyfriend but a ramen shop?
I never said anything about boyfriend.
Eh? But, that's mean...
Just to eat at this ramen shop,
You took 1 hour train to Hachioji?
What's wrong with that? No, it's just...
I'm looking forward for it.
For me, Ramen Jiro is special.
Special?
Ramen Jiro founded in 1968.
At 70s, it moved to Mita, Minato-ku,
Known as Soul Food, it is loved by Keio Students,
And that one and only taste, fascinating one after another.
The branch also increased.
Until now there are 39 branches in Tokyo.
Despite the media coverage is almost not allowed,
Just through mouth-to-mouth promotion,
With a proud overwhelming uniqueness and popularity, it's a charisma ramen shop.
Since it's almost the mealtimes,
There is no queue, Lucky, i'm going in.
Wait, Wait Koizumi-san.
Delicious~
Welcome~
It's true~
It's almost full even though it's not a mealtime yet. Awesome~
But...
It's all men.
What's with this amateur?
What! A "Dai-buta"?
Awesome, Koizumi-san!
"Dai-buta" is large-portion pork right?
I'm really hungry, so i'll take "Dai-buta" too.
I think it's not a good idea.
It's ok. Even though i'm look like this, i'm pretty big eater.
There is nothing but ramen in this shop?
Gyoza? Fried rice? B Set meal?
There is no. Then, i'll take extra "Dai-buta".
Young ladies, just an advice,
Just pick a smaller portion.
"Dai-buta" is absolutely impossible. Impossible.
It's ok. I'm quite a big eater.
Here, please Jiro-san. This man is not Jiro-san.
Yes, thanks.
What's with that annoying people?
It's Jirorian. Jirorian?
Yes, that enthusiastic fan of Jiro ramen is called Jirorian.
What is that!
Jirorian doesn't like ramen.
They like Jiro ramen.
For Jirorian, Jiro isn't a ramen, Jiro is a food on it's own.
I don't really understand.
Then, Koizumi-san is also a Jirorian?
Not yet! Not at all.
I'm still a long way.
A thick pork bones mixed with the soy sauce,
With persistently flavourish soup.
Today is particularly delicious.
Isn't it?
The feel of wheat flavor, strong thick noodle is still alive.
Not blurring. Not blurring?
Ramen Jiro's flavor subtly different from day to day.
Sometime darker,
Sometime there are more fat,
The flavor is blurred.
That's mean there is a day when it's not delicious?
There is also a bad day?
It's unbelievable.
The flavor changing by day is... Shut up!
The premise of "always delicious" itself is also a blur,
Those kind of blur taste is also delicious.
That respective day's subtle blur,
The adult playful that enjoy,
It seems impossible for you to appreciate it.
OI! Look at this pig.
Today is one of the best.
Exactly a godly pig.
Eh? Today is one of the best?
That means there is a day where the pig is bad?
As i said!!!
We as a Jirorian do love all of that.
It's because ramen is a living being.
What's with that quotish word. Ah, by the way, Jiro is...
Since the taste and the quality of every shop is different,
We are also enjoy it.
There is one more thing you need to know,
Jiro is included as one of the 50 foods you must eat...
According to England's prestigious newspaper, Guardian.
It may normally amazing.
Anyway, since young ladies won't understand the magnificence of Jiro,
You should cancel now and go home!
Young ladies, young ladies, don't make fun of us.
We are a respectable customer!
Can't i eat ramen without that kind of information?
This sound is awesome afterall.
Sound?
The sound of hot water trimming.
I don't understand at all.
How is the garlic?
Veggie mashimashi, garlic mashimashi, oil karame.
Mashimashi? It's about the topping.
If you want a lot of veggies, mashi.
If you want extra lot, mashimashi
Garlic is also the same, furthermore,
If you want more fat, Abura.
If you want to thicken the flavor, Karame. That is the request.
No, wait a moment.
But the master just asked about the garlic, right?
He isn't even talked about the veggies.
In Ramen Jiro, if you're asked about the garlic,
To answer it with all of it is a custom.
I see.
The customer there, how is the garlic?
Ah, then, all of it mashimashi.
That is...
Stop it, Osawa-san. It's okay.
Because i'm totally hungry.
You really didn't know.
Ok, here you go.
Is it mountain? Mount Fuji? World Heritage?
I can't see the noodles.
Young lady, if you want to sorry it is the time.
This mountain is too much for you.
We've tried to stop it, again and again.
But you didn't hear it.
Then it's a steep mountain.
Please be careful while climbing it.
I... I am...
I am a respectable customer,
You said it, right?
Eh, um,,, yes.
Then, please dig in.
As a respectable customer, you must eat it all.
Koizumi-san, what should i do?
Itadakimasu.
Tenchikaishi!!
You can do it. Tenchikaishi?
Jiro's noodle is thick and easy to absorb the soup,
If you eat normally from the veggies, the noodle will stretch more and more.
Tenchikaeshi is to prevent that.
Pull out the noodles from the bottom first,
And put it on the top of the veggies.
And at the same time, the veggies,
Will firmly absorbing the flavor of the soup.
Among Jirorian, it's a standard technique.
This smile, this smile!
Koizumi-san, you really love ramen, right?
She is coming back.
Young lady, quickly eat it, it's going cold.
Ah, ok. Is it okay to take a picture?
Ok.
Itadakimasu.
Um... Delicious.
Aaah, it's impossible.
Is it okay to left it?
It can't be helped.
Pick the smaller one next time.
For woman is the petit one.
Yes. I'm sorry.
It can't be.
Why are you eating ramen that much?
Because there is ramen.
My stomach is really full.
But i'm happy to eat ramen with Koizumi-san.
Koizumi-san, let's eat ramen together again next time.
I refuse.
This is the story of Ramen lover, Koizumi-san.
