Kuse ga Tsuyoi Menya Reiwa Ramen — Restaurant in Osaka

You might consider yourself a fan of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. You are not. The owner of this shop is the only true Jojo fan on planet Earth, and you will leave in awe of his passion and commitment to one of the all time greatest anime series around.

But if you are interested in becoming more like a true Jojo fan, you must go through the ritual, which involves queuing up outside the shop at least one hour before it opens—maybe more—and then being prepared to wait for at least one other hour—maybe 4 or 5–just to prove your dedication. The owner will come out and tell you how many hours that you have left to wait, and even that is no guarantee of a meal, because he may run out of food before it is your turn. It truly is not a task for the faint of heart.

He may not even have everything on the menu. He may not even open up when he’s supposed to, and he may have an unobvious cardboard sign wish sharpie written on it held down by a shovel informing an unfortunate public that lunch or dinner is not being served that day. But you must persist. You must wait in line, however long it takes, however hopeless things may seem, until the owner lets you inside and your world is transformed. You will leave a changed man or woman. You will never forget your experience. You will feel as if you are part of the extended Jojo universe. You will laugh and you will cry. You will make many friends along the way, and perhaps some enemies, but most of all, you will grow as a person if you commit yourself to this worthy cause of dining at truly one of the most unique restaurants I’ve ever been to.

My daughters and I are huge Jojo fans, one of my daughter geeks out with Jojo so this had to happen. We got here around 6:30pm on a Friday night and there were about 14 people ahead of me in line. The ramen shop only seats 8 and allows for a hour eating time.

The owner literally does everything by himself from setting up and breaking down the table, cooking, putting on a show and checking in and checking out each customer. It’s about as personal of a service as it gets.

Back to the wait time, we waited about 2.5 hours from the times we got there before we got seated. We are part of the third round of seating. Luckily by 6:30pm, the weather has cooled down significantly and the waiting wasn’t that bad. The owner does come out periodically and does a head count and he will verbally let you know if you won’t get in so you don’t waste your time waiting.

The food is good but nothing special, but remember as you are there for the total experience (show and dining). Do not judge this place based on food only. However I do think the excessive wait time does make the food taste so much better. The ramen is pretty expensive giving its portion at 2000 yen for each bowl.

If you are a huge Jojo fanatic or is familiar with the anime, this place is awesome and is filling with various Jojo collectibles. A non Jojo fan may not fully appreciate the nerdiness...

An Unforgettable Experience for Any JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Fan! My JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure dream has officially come true. The owner of this place is not only incredibly passionate about the anime but truly lives and breathes it. He knows countless lines from the series and delivers them flawlessly, creating an atmosphere that feels like you’re stepping into the world of JoJo.

While the anime plays in the background, he prepares some of the most delicious ramen I’ve ever tasted. It’s not just a meal—it’s an experience. As he cooks, he essentially performs a live reenactment synced with the anime, reciting lines perfectly even before the characters say them. His energy is infectious, and he doesn’t stop there—he even entertains guests waiting in line or those who, unfortunately, can’t get in when it’s sold out.

This truly is the best one-man show I’ve ever seen. His dedication doesn’t stop at his performance; the place is packed with JoJo merchandise, possibly every single piece you could imagine. It feels more like a JoJo museum than a restaurant.

If you’re a fan of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, this is an absolute must-visit. The combination of incredible food, unparalleled passion, and one-of-a-kind entertainment makes this a...
