Menya Jotaro (麺屋 承太郎) is a ramen shop located in Takasaki, Gunma, Japan, about 699 meters from Takasaki Station, or roughly a 10-minute walk. The shop is locally known for its large, hearty bowls of ramen, but it’s also famous for something rather bizarre.
The name itself is a reference to Jotaro Kujo from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, and the interior fully embraces it. The restaurant is heavily decorated with JoJo merchandise and references, turning an already popular ramen spot into a fun destination for fans of the series.
