Birthplace of TONKOTSU RAMEN - Kurume, Japan

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ก.ย. 2024
- We're eating the ORIGINAL pork bone (tonkotsu) ramen! Let's just say it's not exactly what I expected. In addition to this historical bowl, we're visiting 3 other top-notch ramen shops in Kurume City, Fukuoka. Kurume isn't know for a whole lot...but it is for ramen - a heavier, more pungent tonkotsu ramen too.
This is the second episode in a KYUSHU RAMEN SERIES.

I am always impressed with your knowledge and enthusiasm when it comes to everything RAMEN. Also your ambition to walk miles and miles in the heat of the day or in freezing weather to showcase these restaurants. You even took the time to share details of the Ramen if it was not very good. Frank, you are a Ramen legend 🙏. Your editing is also very impressive. I purchased your Fukuoka Ramen Guide , although I hope to someday put it to good use.
Will climb mountains for ramen 😃
Haha, I'm just your humble ramen eater at the end of the day but thanks for the kind words! AND thanks so much for supporting the channel - much appreciated buying the Fukuoka ramen guide. I may add some other ramen shops if after I visit again...so perhaps before your trip, there will be extra places to choose from. Thanks so much again!
I would book a Ramen tour with you more than anything before using those guide books. But , happy to add more tour books to my collections. You can climb mountains Frank. I am sure there are some Ramen up in some of those mountain tops😁 . 🗻@@5AMRamen
7am Ramen !
Haha, indeed!
Love the video Frank, there are barely any videos on Kyshu out here on youtube, ramen even less. I love Kyushu history since I played Samurai Warriors, the Shimazu were the coolest, lol.
(Also, I hate you for the Discord sounds, I thought something I was going on with my PC, just kidding 😂)
Kyushu needs to be shown more love, for sure! Love the Shimazu reference and that you played Samurai Warriors 😊
Also - sorry about the computer scare, haha. I've been playing around more with sound effects in the last few vids.
Thank you for the video! Pretty surprising for historical ramen shop!
Thank you for watching! Yes, it was like walking into a ramen museum.
I appreciate your posts, please keep doing what you do. the views on your channel somehow doesn't reflect how valuable your content is for the rest of us that value this information and context that you do.
Will do and thanks for supporting the channel and for the kind words 😃
Hey Frank, it's finally getting cold enough to try the new ramen shop near me in LA, will report back!
Hope it's tasty! Look forward to your recap 😊
@@5AMRamen will definitely report back
I really enjoyed this episode. I am looking forward to visiting Kurume and Fukuoka soon.
Woohoo! Thanks for watching and please stay tuned for the next one ~
The Nankin in Nankin Senryo is 南京 meaning southern capital. These are also the characters used for the Chinese city of Nanjing/Nanking. I do not know if there is any connection to Mainland Asia but we all know that there are links with a common name for ramen being Chuka Soba 中華そば China Soba.
Yes indeed - given the Chinese roots of ramen, you sometimes see Chinese cities used in the names of these older ramen shops. The owner is from Nagasaki and Nagasaki's Chinatown is called 南京町.
13:07 - 13:27 with it's discord notification sfx Kills me 😂😂💕
Also I'm looking forward to the next episode, I wanna see what kind of non porkbone ramen in porkbone ramen country looks like 😂, cheers Frank
omg I freaked out and thought I was on disc lol.
@@jimbo121 lmao same 😂😂
Frank, I gain a kilogram just watching you eat all that ramen! Thanks for the insights!
Haha, a vicarious kilogram. Thanks for watching!
Praise the youtube lords for recommending this to me, I really like these kind of travel videos focused on food. 3-4 bowls though, you have quite the appetite!🍜
Glad they brought you here! I'm just a glutton, haha (eating the multiple bowls).
It’s always a joy to join you on your ramen exploration
Thanks for joining the exploration! You're always welcome aboard.
Sounds like my mecca! I'll have to make a stop there for sure.
You should! A tonkotsu pilgrimage 😁
Another fantastic tour and reviewing of ramen, thank you Frank.
Thank you for watching!
I was just about to comment, that you should have a guide with all that valuable information you're gathering along your ramen adventures... And I was happy to find out you already have one!
Now I wonder, when you will get an anime/manga character, based on you? This would truly be a cornerstone, marking your integration into the Japanese culture - where "if you're not an anime character, you don't exist!" ^_-
Haha, an anime or manga character would be a honor. I wouldn't consider myself having made it without one 😃
Thanks for watching!
JUST in time im flyign out tonight! i was wondering how the oden worked at maruboshi thanks for the detailed video 😃
Oh sweet - enjoy! Yes, there are buttons on the ticket machine for also having oden 👍
Great video! I love tonkotsu style. If I remember from a previous review, you said you were more a shio guy. Was the heaviness of tonkotsu hard to eat repeatedly? I'm curious how you find out about these places. Do you use mainly tabelog? Is there a secret ramen connoisseur discord out there? (if not, you should definitely make a 5amramen server. I'd love to be in a ramen group!)
Kurume is your ramen spirit city 😊. I am indeed more of a lighter ramen guy and shio is probably my favorite style. But when in Fukuoka, I wouldn't have it any other way - tonkotsu every day, all day.
I use Tabelog, Ramen Database (like a Tabelog but just for ramen), and Google (although more for directions). No such discord that I'm aware of, haha. Please join if I ever do set one up!
🍜👍
😃😃
Is there a reason why every area have their own style of ramen? Is it because they want to stick out or is it because of local ingredients? It's really interesting
It can often be both! Furthermore, surroundings can influence the ramen too - heavier or saltier ramen styles often pop up where there are more laborers, or where the temperature is colder, for example.
💋💋💋The second one is my choice though all looked good.
You would love it! Was my favorite from the 3.
Do you know of any ramen places in Tokyo that also use that everlasting soup method?
It's harder to find in Tokyo but here are some (both Kurume style tonkotsu):

maps.app.goo.gl/9XbeDUQua69L2hht7
- not sure how good they are though as I've never been.
Bario is a chain that does Jiro style ramen but they also do Yobimodoshi!

@@5AMRamen thanks so much for finding these for me! I'm definitely trying this. I'm going to try as many different styles as I can in the time I have.
❤️⛩️👌
Hey, Frank!
I am from Kurume, Japan.
Your video definitely is not presenting the city of Kurume "CITY".
😂😂😂
Well, looks like I'll have to go back 😊
Are any of these places safe for people with high blood pressure
Kurume ramen (featured in the video) is on the heavier side. I'd recommend lighter ramen, like shio (salt seasoned) or shoyu (soy sauce seasoned).
Nice one
Thanks for the watching - hope you're well!
@@5AMRamenI will be ok when I return "home" after new years :)
