Tasting BLUE RAMEN and 3 Other Unusual Ramen Flavors in Tokyo

[@nico5179]

I ate the blue ramen last year in Tokyo, its the ramen shop close to Shibuya station I believe. It was really good, I enjoyed it a lot, at the beginning the color may put you off, but after the first bite, I started eating it non stop. I believe it is chicken based broth. I recommend it for sure.

[@calnative4904]

I just really enjoy these food tours, Shizuka is the hostess with the mostess 🙂

[@bonuspal]

Yea bro she really isnt just a pretty face she has depth to I first saw her on best ever food review and had to say i brushed her off 4 months later coming across this channel i can see shes a great host first class.

[@LittleStar678]

Shizuka appears, I click. It's a natural response.

[@brucef310]

Haha. I bet you can't get a date in real life. Huh?

[@ghostaniag5705]

[@zunaidchowdhowry8554]

Amen

[@JenCole2107]

Shizuka! You got a great thing going on here. Such a pretty person with a good personality. Blue ramen? Where's Sonny when ya need his 2 cents? Subscribed.

[@scotttan6377]

@shizuka - your presence and presentation are always on point. Very interesting episode -those fringe ramen creations are a little too adventurous for me. Thank you for sharing these obscure, niche dishes. I wonder if the chicken in the blue ramen was sous vide, thus giving its unique texture ( I know, I know - that's a secret too )

[@ninjatortles28]

i followed because you and Sonny were the best combo on his show ever! Hopefully someday I can meet you in a Japanese tour!

[@jomangeee]

dream on lol

[@dillony797]

why isnt this channel gaining well deserved traction??

[@zitools]

i came here from sonny on best food review or something like that.

[@alphamike87]

The ramen and all the food looks delicious, great seeing Shizzy as usual.

[@KoiAquaponics]

Shizuka goes from Western to Anime when she starts talking in Japanese.

[@zitools]

something about her makes me think she can speak decent to fluent french. and also she can do a wicked boston accent.

[@colinsmith5879]

Hate to break it to you m8 but the Japanese language widely spoken outside of the dorky cartoons you watch

[@themtbguy9496]

She sounds super adorable speaking in Japanese 😁

[@its_EZ]

ビッグクリんジュ

[@nikbuckingham1132]

Yeah, it's ironic that Japanese culture can be so formal, yet the ladies are suuuper emotive and expressive with their voice and facial expression...

[@Kwijiboi]

Love the show and Shizuka's energy. I find thr blue off-putting though, and find the lemon ramen more interesting. I'd worry about getting blue soup on my clothes, or thr blue staining my teeth or something. I guess they are going for the gram. Maybe replace the lemon slices by zesting the lemon in sheets, peeling thr lemon, and then slicing the peeled lemon. That way you get the lemon and the essential oils from the zest without having to wonder when you need to fish the existing bitter slices out of the soup. Or, lemon supremes! Thanks for the episode!

[@Zvroth]

Yes.... It's very off putting. The fact the owner basically confirmed it's not even natural food colouring is a completely deal breaker for me. Also how the egg was coloured in blue was also a warning sign. I dunno, I just don't even find the colour appealing especially for hot savoury meal.

[@thricexalliance]

Secret to the color is spirulina, so it adds a bunch of antioxidants and a slight floral note to the broth, as well as a smidge of bitterness...and the chicken is sous vide chashu ;)

[@nikbuckingham1132]

Really great stuff, keep it up! a teeny bit heavy on the makeup.. still look awesome as always.

[@dl6170]

I want to try the blue ramen so bad!! It's on my list next time I'll be in Tokyo! 😍

[@nathanielmills4678]

I was a little concerned with not knowing what makes it blue. Either way it's a once in a lifetime experience which is well worth it.

[@joshevans3452]

Go to the spice isle in your grocery store. Right next to the vanilla extract and Dried herbs you will find a box with 4 bottles of food coloring (yellow, red, green, blue). Buy that and put a nice glug of the blue in whatever chicken based soup noodles you like. Also, don't be too shocked when you have a "bonus visit" of that blue food coloring in 12-24 hours.

[@mjs28s]

that blue soup has to be a mind tease to the max. All my life my brain associates a blue like that with blue raspberry Kool-Aid or icy-pops. To get chicken soup from that color would probably make my brain scramble. I'd have to close my eyes each bite.

[@maddys3955]

Such a cool place!!! I love ramen beacoup! I got to go there one day! 😊

[@JapanbyFood]

You should!

[@abbydawnjamelarin9950]

its nice to see you again Shizuka😊

[@Arkinsire]

This channel needs more views. period.

[@animeaftermidnight2765]

I'm 99% sure that the "blue secret" is butterfly pea flower tea/extract. Its a cheap and easy to obtain herbal tea of dried butterfly pea flowers. It doesn't taste good by itself at all but it gives a very vibrant blue color to liquid that can turn quickly into a vibrant magenta/pink color upon the application of a lemon or citric acid of some sort. Anytime you see a "natural blue lemonade" or something, its butterfly pea flower tea mixed with lemonade, and don't expect it to taste good, it just looks fun.

[@joni29927]

Wau saya suka banget ramen. Terimakasih rekomendasi makanan. Tetap sehat dan jalan 2 terus. Salam Indonesia people.

[@robertojoveldoratt3092]

I ll definitely stick around with original , Ramen recipes.

[@JapanbyFood]

Wait for our new ramen series

[@kimicupcake9612]

😱you just gave me a new reason to live ... thank you for sharing and making great content! I need to add blue ramen to my bucket list.

[@notagain2856]

I am sure this has been said many times, but I still want to repeat it: This channel is too underrrated!

[@khounchailinlavong6089]

So satisfying 🤪😁😆

[@CookingwithYarda]

Excellent video !! I love ramen soup. New subscriber here ;-)

[@bgnkrnt]

for blue natural food coloring can use butterfly pea flower

[@lilyryoko3638]

Wow.... I can't wait to try this unusual ramen 😍.. Hopefully can travel soon

[@k1nj3]

Her outfit is on point! Who else agrees? 🤚

[@golgoth7600]

150%

[@j.cj.c.5601]

I don't often eat ramen, but I sure would love eating it with Shizi. LOL

[@UserU]

4:15 - So Matsumoto from Downtown also visited this place 😀

[@mingjieng1426]

Anyway Shizzy, I can't remember where it is in Tokyo but when I visited to Japan last year, I encountered a stall selling purple ramen and there was a line of people queuing up for it. So maybe if you happen to encounter it also, maybe you could make a video about it? Tasting unusual ramen part 2?

[@mingjieng1426]

Many considered ramen a working men's staple food, it is more than that! It is the holy trinity of broth, ramen and toppings combined! The topping can be veg, meat and even fruits(lemon and peach)! And so it is the perfect meal since you have carbs, protein, veg, soup and maybe even dairy(cheese) all in a bowl of happiness! My absolute favourite food, ramen! Love it more than pizza, love it more than rice with toppings! 😍

[@fumeokid]

I see Shizuka-I watch. She’s the best. Give her a raise please.

[@alessio54321]

What camera is this? The video quality is extra crispy

[@SuspendaS]

Love the show:)

[@chuck6290]

I was so excited to try Kipposhi but they are closed in Shibuya and moving to Hamamatsucho :( No blue soup for me.

[@j.k.6148]

That cheesy ramen 🍜 looks interesting indeed....

[@sanjapananime]

I've eaten there. Even with the mountain of parm it doesn't become overwhelming. I'd give it a 7.5 / 10. Go for the novelty but that's about it.

[@yeineralarcon8530]

Shizuka you are the best ! 🙏

[@zeichen95]

Got me hungry watching this. I'll cook that instant Ramen I bought earlier.

[@Shichman]

[@OP-er3fg]

You went to Japan in covid times to film a food video!!! well played, have a sub.

[@ginkarasu]

wut? they live in Japan...

[@Towkeeyoh]

The blue colouring actually has a very natural source and can be found on a lot of Southeast Asian food. From cakes to rice to tea. Not gonna spoil the secret here, but it's actually not that big a secret.

[@yachikaki07]

@3:38 Didn't expect to see Sakamoto-san in this vid

[@nicklindsey1840]

those look tasty

[@phillipsymonds3492]

The peach ramen looked the best

Shizuka and Sydnee Goodman is the instant click recipe

[@arnabusmccain1823]

Butterfly pea flower is a common ingredients in South East Asia. Secret 😃?

[@wonphi]

smurf ramen...just normal ramen, add blue food colouring. that's the secret XD

[@thricexalliance]

Nah, they steep smurf into the broth.

[@basumo_]

[@21Zymon]

First time to see a shiny ramen

[@sethsoderman2731]

Love show awesome food

[@Anonymouzxz]

Hey Shizuka! Great video but just a tip, I think it would be better if you would not cut the clip when you are eating. Anyways, love your videos and keep it up!

[@leftright4778]

Hear hear

[@wongjefx980]

I like ramen... grew up on the dried ramen squares...but do find ramen soup salty... I place Chinese wonton noodle\beef brisket over Vietnamese Pho over ramen..personally... but watching Shizuka slurp noodles...uh..wow...

[@jnakam]

I made the mistake of watching this video before going to bed. I want ramen now.

[@hkwong6101]

Gouda Cheese ...Welcome 2 Holland my Friend with Luv^^

[@Bullldog111]

i cant believe the last time i was on Japan, i only ate Yoshinoya and the bare minimum of noodles that i ate was only cold soba ahahha, but i found it very good even thought it was like on an uncharted location ramen shop

[@kevinlee8035]

Hokkaido buutter ramen!

[@elsalvadorplaya]

Japan by food bring back Sonny. Sonny and Susuka is the best

[@urichlau1975]

gatorade ramen! 😆

[@uaena182]

the blue ramen seems confusing to taste while it's hot when it looks cold.. lol.. maybe the secret recipe is gatorade.. hehe but would still try if given the chance

[@astroboy3507]

New subb here!!! Nice vid looks cool the blue!! But I'm not into that chemical secret!!! Taste! 😁

[@marvinchw]

Shizuka, every your videos are very good. But, you should mention restaurant's name and address, so the viewer can easily search the restaurant location.

[@TheHoth1]

Love Ramen but I changed my diet. Not eating carbs anymore:(

[@boahkeinbockmehr]

Wait what? They make Gouda cheese in Japan now? Is it actual Gouda or had the name just become a general term for "slice cheese" (i don't know the english word)? as if i recall correctly the Dutch had a huge influence on Japan and i'd guess also probably introduced them to the concept of cheese

[@Nakameguro97]

Cheese ramen ROCKS!

[@MrRobotoDomo]

Shizuka going full anime mode!

[@thomasbjor2332]

Miku ramen FTW😽

[@ancientk100]

[@brianpitts922]

There was ramen in this video?

[@stphnolar]

I like Spicy Ramen!

[@Der_Kleine_Mann]

I definitely know, that if I would ever visit Japan, I would gain a lot of weight from eating all the amazing food there.

[@JapanbyFood]

That happened to all of us here TT :D

[@hrdgms27]

there's peaches during summer in JP but there's heatwaves in other countries 😂 jkjk

[@runwader]

Blue food coloring. I would be full after eating the first bowl of ramen and chicken. Interesting I heard you say shoyu. That is what local people in Hawaii call soy sauce.

[@KeithMakank3]

04:07 yo ask mama evangelion if shes got someone to keep her warm at night mang

[@Trasher94]

she genuinely concerned about the blue colour, but the just doesn't want to explain it

[@glss3s]

I dont care the foods. I enjoyed watching her.

[@running88gamer63]

Secret??? Easy answer 🙂 googling this "Clitoria ternatea" flowers

[@felixchu7656]

Secret... ..... .... sounds like food coloring. Lol

[@user-ou6qj8vx1o]

Kind of fallen in love with Shizuka

[@michaelphelps7153]

Fruit ramun....why!?....I will not know until i try j guess

[@J__L_a_i]

the secret is most likely butterfly pea flower

[@khezu3045]

Hiiii shizu

[@anthonymarquez7461]

U need to invite me to eat with you

[@mingjieng1426]

There seems to be hints around the restaurant about where all the "blue" comes from! 😏

[@Towkeeyoh]

Haha I just noticed it too! Not exactly the source but you're right, it's a huge hint!

[@Oniontrololol]

That blue ramen looks like ramen cooked in mouthwash xD

[@Scott65J]

spirulina....blue/green algae....should be mostly natural
