What Owning a Ramen Restaurant in Japan is Like
I saw this interesting documentary about all the effort that goes into operating a Japanese ramen shop. It is tough work!
Shoyu Ramen / Shio Ramen / Tori Paitan Ramen / Black Sesame Ramen / Hiyashi Chuka at Kodawari Ramen in Paris
Jidori shoyu soba, with additional ajitama egg. The noodles are made in the shop.
Decent ramen for Paris but quite overrated.
Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen at Ramen Jiro in Kabukicho
Chashu ramen with all free toppings (vegetables, abura, karame and garlic).
I finally ate at Ramen Jiro! It is a very influential chain of ramen shops, with restaurants all over Tokyo.
Mazemen at Menya Akatsuki in Komagome
Aesoba (あえそば), with all the free Jiro-style toppings (garlic, vegetables, karame, abura) and additional cheese. There is also a raw egg beneath the fat.
