Is this Japan's Most Mouthwatering Ramen?

[@AbroadinJapan]

Of the numerous trips and videos I've made with Ryotaro, I think this is probably my favourite. We were lucky to travel across a very beautiful region and see and do so much, and in terms of filming and editing it, I tried to take us one step closer to being a poorly quality TV channel, as opposed to an edited vlog. (Although unfortunately no drones this time and I know you love your drones). One of the best things about filming and travelling is you get to learn so much every time you pull out the camera, given the practical nature of it all - there's something exciting about constantly looking for new angles and perspectives on things that people cover all the time. BUT anyway enough of me pretending to sound profound, as if I'm more than just a KZbin vlogger person! Enjoy the video guys.
