Menya Jiro is a small ramen shop close to Himeji Station serving a clear shoyu-based broth that punches above its modest price. The kitchen leans toward the lighter Kansai style — less pork fat, more depth from dried sardine and konbu — and the menma topping is house-made.
Order at the ticket machine before sitting down. Open mostly through lunch and early evening; closes when the broth runs out.
