Noguchi Jiro (野口次郎)

Tucked behind a ramen counter in the Dojima district of Osaka, Noguchi Jiro is one of the city’s most deliberately hard-to-find izakaya, a small, members-and-introductions-only room from the team behind the Michelin-starred Noguchi Taro. Chicken wing tips are the house specialty, served in an intimate, strictly reservation-only setting that trades visibility for exclusivity. Given its closed-door, introduction-only format, public details such as phone number and opening hours are not published.
