      Tonkotsu is amazing. I would love to try Toyama Black Ramen though. Heard great things about that region's ramen soup.

    • @badreprint
      @badreprint 4 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      I love Tonkotsu, but I've actually mostly had vegan ramen because my past two girlfriends were vegan. There's a place in Grand Central Mkt here in LA that even makes their own vegan softboiled eggs! Personally I prefer Tonkotsu, but that's definitely worth checking out!
      Also Reina Scully as host is my favorite ramen style.

      The restaurant business is hard in general. The one year survival rate isn't great.

    • @hopelesslydull7588
      @hopelesslydull7588 4 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      Generally, the survival rate is so low because so many people who want to start a business start a restaurant. And just jump into it. Regardless of if their community wants their kind of food or atmosphere, whether or not they have good managerial skills, good finance skills or (and here's the big one) the capital or credit to eat being in the red for 4-6 months until they earn back all the money they spent on equipment/leasing/advertising.
      Most well managed restaurants last several years before going under even if there's not a strong demand for their style.

    Cool summary but forgot to mention Fukuoka chains Ippudo and Ichiran who made the pork-bone broth + straight noodles and arguably popularization of ramen around the world. Check out the ramen festivals in Fukuoka for the different regional styles. For an in-depth summary of ramen and some of its HOF level dishes from 9 regions of Japan each with different variations, check out the ramen museum at Shin-Yokohama. Last time I was there, I ate about 6 bowls before tapping out. Tip: the basement shops offer half-bowls so you can try as many as you can handle.

      ​@@AG.Floats Chill out, lmao. If there's one place slurping is okay to do would be Japanese people eating Japanese food in a Japanese restaurant.
      Also there is arguably science to it, slurping incorporates air, which introduces oxygen and the process of aeration enhances the flavour. People who taste wine, etc do the same thing.
      Who are you to decide whether ethnically Japanese people (or anyone really) can choose to partake in a socio-cultural norm/action? Slurping in Japan is a sign of thanks/appreciation to the chef.
      Is policing the actions of others really the hill you wanna die on?

    That's too bad. Because after I watched the video. I'm amazed by how passionate and dedicated Chef Shimamoto served his ramen. It looks and taste delicious. And the way he served it with delicate, clean and tidy manners, I could say how much he loves so much his passion for Ramen. Especially when he fluently explained the History of Ramen, not just cook it only. Wow! 👏
    I hope you still keep living your passion serve everyone every bits of your love for Ramen. 🍜
