That ramen store is amazing! If I lived there, I might be eating ramen every day! I love that the labeling is so clear and that there are vegan options! 😍
Tip: leaving the ramen as a whole block cooks the noodles at a different rate than it would if you had played with them and separated the noodles in the broth. When you separated the noodles, it exposes more of the surface area of the noodle strands and thus they cook faster than the described cooking time on the package. That’s why you felt it was a bit overcooked
Great job of the video! You guys were very detailed on how to use the ramen convenience store. So nice meeting you both and hope we can meet up this spring, as we'll be heading to Tokyo!
What a great concept--so convenient and such variety! I loved the post-it note "wallpaper." I hope you guys added to it. 😊 Thank you for the Korean ramen adventure, and a special thank you for including a vegan option. The toppings bar was such a plus. Love to you both. 💜💜
Been loving your videos!!!!! Love that you have the American culture/Japanese culture insights on travel/food and really appreciate the information you give. Thank you!!!!
Satoshi got the sesame ramen mild. Yea, I'm korean, I prefer package ramen over cup ramen. I think package ramen tastes way better and the soup is more flavorful. I'm the same way. I prefer my noodles on the firmer side. Cause while you eat, the noodles gonna get softer and soak up the soup.
Yep, I always noticed that that package ramen is better than cup ramen. I guess it's the noodles, since cup is made to be cooked with just kettle water instead of continuous boiling
Lol, it's possible in Asia not because of the "culture" or whatever but because of how harsh the punishment for stealing is. You are basically guilty until proven innocent, Japan itself has a 99% conviction rate and inmates are treated terribly. It's just not worth it.
One of these opened up in north Taipei. Fun convenient thing but I still like making ramyun at home with the old fashioned Korean copper pots. Wish Korean food was better in Taiwan, it's so localized, the banchan are always lackluster, and it seems restaurants only serve soondubu, kalbi, bibimbap, and ramyun. So much more to Korean food.
Now I'm craving instant ramen with lots of extra toppings but it's 2 a.m. so will need to wait until tomorrow. So sad... Glad you both had a great experience at this shop!
They need to recoup fees for bowls and toppings and machinery and utility bills. It’s an experience. If you can’t get the basics of how economics work it’s very sad. The owners need to make profit so they can be in business.
Here's something I enjoy about Japan , most of the things that you can go and do in there, only works in Japan. case and points, the place that your in right now in the video.
Shinichi mentioning the five vegan ramen as if that’s a lot 😅 I would eat them since I’m a pescatarian, and it’s genuinely disappointing how few there are
Unsupervised food, especially the fresh add-ons, makes me nervous. People can be cruel. I am thinking about the person who spit in food and teacups at a sushi conveyor bar. I have also heard of staff spitting in food for complaining customers, but I would rather take my chances with that, since I very rarely complain. I won't even mention other hazards.
