Hi Frank! I have a question for you - I’m visiting Japan in a month and I’ve never tried ramen before because I get migraines from msg. I’ve noticed that I really only get them from things like fast food chicken and Chinese takeout. I eat things like sushi and soy sauce without much of an issue. Does much of the ramen made in Japan use artificial msg, or is it mostly naturally occurring? I feel like I only get headaches from the powder stuff. Thanks!!
I know some advertise that they don't use MSG or unnatural ingredients. I went to Menya Yoshi today in Taito City and it's run by hearing impaired. They advertise that they don't use MSG and they were very delicious! Even more delicious was Homemade Ramen Muginae in Shinagawa, Tokyo and I believe they also advertise no MSG or unnatural ingredients. Was there last week and they were awesome! I think most of your really good shops don't add MSG, tbh. I highly suggest Iruca as well. Has been my favorite this week of the 21 shops I went to.
Hello hello! Unfortunately in Japan ramen shops often use MSG, even the powdered variety. But some places (like Muginae, Gottsu, Shibasakitei, and Kissui Hananoren in Tokyo) will make it a point to only use chemical free seasoning. Hope this helps!
Found out your channel in my RU-vid recs after watching too much Susuru TV. Love your style, editing is fun but also like how you describe the bowls and don't hesitate to critique it! I went to Sugari like 8 years ago and it kinda blew my mind at the time, I used to hate chewy gutsy parts like motsu as a kid so wasn't sure what I was going into, but the flavor was really great, and it felt like it belong well to the bowl (had a tsukemen tho). Happy to know they're still kicking, but also you helped with my FOMO of not getting back there by reminding me it's not that different from what I can get in Tokyo 🤣 cheers
i had ramen in kyoto pon tocho alley in a tiny spot called original kyoto ramen, i got the vegetarian like shinto monk ramen and it blew my mind, all of the different beans and vegetables, so good
