Chicago Ramen Annex specializes in Jiro-style ramen, an absurdly meaty and intense style, writes Tribune food critic Nick Kindelsperger. Jiro-style ramen is neither complex nor subtle.
The Jiro style ramen dish includes a thick broth with slices of port, noodles, a hard boiled egg, cabbage, and spinach at his new restaurant, Chicago Ramen Annex, on Friday, February 3, 2023, in Schaumburg.Granted, it’s a bit more nuanced than that, because I do love a good bowl of ultra-thick tonkotsu ramen.
I’ll be perfectly clear: Jiro-style ramen is not for everyone. I’m not sure I’ll even be able to look at it in July. But right now, when the weather dips below freezing and the wind howls, there is no better elixir to battle the winter. Instead of toppings, personalize your bowl with the condiments available for free. In fact, a sign on the table declares customers “must use garlic and onikasu.” Though no one will reprimand you for ignoring this warning, it is fascinating to tinker with each to personalize your bowl. The former is really nothing more than a whole container of chopped raw garlic, which adds a fierce funkiness.
