Ippudo is ramen for tourists though, there's even a branch in London. It's not bad ramen by any means, but foreign tourists to Japan tend to seriously overhype a single chain store, while Tokyo is full of great independent ramen restaurants that make much better ramen than Ippudo.

[@SirCorrino]

Ichiran is the same, though. Though I agree that when in Japan you should try the local, non-chain restaurants.

[@kiyoaki1985]

In Osaka it's even more ridiculous, on dotonbori there's a chain ramen store which always has a giant queue of white tourists outside, while the same chain has another store just 2 blocks away or something, I forgot which one it is. Don't eat at chains, find one that uses good ingredients and no MSG (since it imparts a bland, samey flavor to everything).

[@RoseTheWolf36]

Yeah theres one in Cupertino, heart of Silicon Valley. While theres a few independent ramen restaurants in the area, I can believe Ippudo is for tourists

[@go_away510]

kiyoaki1985 NO MSG? HAIYAH

[@mizocutie]

Ippudo is ramen you want to eat outside of Japan. It's a restaurant you'd go to when you miss Japan. When you're in Japan, any ramen shop can serve delicious ramen. When I went to Fukuoka which is the birth place of Ippudo and Ichiran... I didn't go to either. I went to random ramen shops, because I know they make delicious tonkotsu ramen there.

I always love to see that you’re enjoying Japanese foods!! There are more different kinds of Ramen in Japan, Mike☺️ so just let me introduce some. ⚫︎Tsukemen (Dipping Ramen) - Cyuka Soba Tomita is the most famous one ⚫︎Abura Soba (Oil Ramen) ⚫︎Iekei Ramen (from Yokohama) ⚫︎Jiro-style Ramen 二郎系ラーメン ⚫︎Sapporo Ramen (from Hokkaido) etc... Most of prefectures have local ramen. My favorite one is Onomichi ramen from Hiroshima! Onomichi is a beautiful place, and there are many good foods (Oysters, Okonomiyaki, Anago Meshi, soupless tan tan noodles, lemon, and so on...) in Hiroshima, so hope you can go to there one day (Sorry if you’ve already been there)!!!

I live in a city that has quite a few Asian grocery stores that always include a gigantic wall of ramen and instant noodles. Even if it's not restaurant quality, there is still always something new and interesting to find. My latest thing are the self heating instant hot pot. Only problem is the sodium is so unbelievably high that one must be careful. I'm lucky that my city even has a handful of ramen shops. I've only tried two, and one of them got dinged with a health code violation. But I mean, ramen is like pizza, right? Even when it's bad, it's still good.

There are different menu for different place for Ippudo, in my area, there is a menu called tokusei akamaru (special akamaru) which is different from the one in your video. It costs 1250 yen for a bowl, but the experience you're getting is totally different from any bowl of ramen in Japan. The meat are thicker and they use different part of the pork for that bowl, also you're going to get wontons in your bowl alongside all the other condiments, and I'll tell you, the wontons are out of this world. If you have the time, you should try Ippudo's one more time, and find the restaurant with that menu. It's gonna worth your time and money, I guarantee.

[@lunayen]

Why are you constantly stopped from getting the extra spicy version? It feels like a pattern now.

lunayen I think it’s because they believe that foreigners cannot handle the spice. Like he said if he got the highest it most likely would’ve been too hot for him

Instead of paying 30 for ramen in ny id rather give 30 to japan ramen even if it was $5. Also why isnt the ad playing, i want you to get ad revenue.

Hi love your channel. I was wondering is Japan wheelchair friendly. And what city would u recommend. If anyone has answered tell me pls. Happy holidays every one

[@o0Erzebeth0o]

Not everywhere is wheel chair friendly. Stick to Tokyo modern museums and more popular shrines. Older museums won't have elevators or sidewalks

sean zhang The Cheese Cake factory chain in America proves that having too many items on your menu makes it terrible. I’ve ate there three different times and everything tasted like shit even though people love to talk about how big their menu is.

I've watched this video an unhealthy amount of times

Came back here after having my first ramen, and I don't not instant plastic. I swear this is a gift to humanity. Instantly hooked, now I want to try all different kinds of them

Both ramen are best ramen for tourist. Japan has a lot of great stan alone ramen shop. By the way they are good ramen shop both.

[@channelaphro]

It is fun to hear you talk about the condiments as being special as it is mostly Ichiran who doesn't have, but almost all other Ramen places have these extra condiments. But even though it doesn't stop me from having Ichiran when I go to Japan, it is just a good standard place that you can return too..
