That “fancy” ramen example haha

[@chrisff1989]

It's actually seaweed salt, not sea salt. It's made by burning seaweed apparently. And about the Hokkaido saury/mackerel pike, it says it's cooked slowly over low heat to draw out the umami flavour.

[@kulled]

there are 4 different types of chicken? i can only think of two

Bro I love green onions with every fiber of my body🤤 I swear if restaurants had a green onion grater like they do cheese graters… I’m. Not. Stopping. Them.

[@SeanQuinn4]

I picture this as an endless gif where a server is carrying a large bowl of sliced gronions and is refilling a small bowl that you repeatedly dump onto your food.

[@liesalllies]

I'm with you 100 percent on this. Whenever I make ramen at home I pile on so many green onions.

The Goldilocks Zone of ramen: not too fancy, and not too cheap, but just right!

[@Adrienne_Quelle]

The best kind of any food is a dish that gets the basics right. Last Wave is always such a vibe. Stay safe!

[@aquamarinerose5405]

Idunno if I'd say that works as a hard and fast rule (though ANY absolutes fall apart under scrutiny) but I get your point. You can throw a thousand excess flourishes to something but if your base is crap then it won't work. While if you go with something simple and perfect its execution you get something wonderful.

[@Adrienne_Quelle]

@@aquamarinerose5405Exactly. Getting the fundamentals right lays a foundation to build on, but even just the fundamental stuff can make something special done just right. Sometimes a good meal doesn’t need much more than good ingredients and good preparation.

hope you are safe and warm with the recent tragedy

[@PastorSKAR]

As an adult who now loves to travel the world and eat good food, who was once a kid that binged rs before it was even called OSRS I felt this video on a deep level. Thank you for combining all my loves into one. This certainly hit me in the feels. Subbed & will re-watch this when I head to Japan later this year. Bravo sir. 👏

[@CheeseToastOfDeath]

I actually played Runescape back in the day, obsessively enough that I actually have lingering opinions about it, and his references still occasionally fly over my head. Lovely-looking bowl of ramen, though.

[@trajectoryunown]

It was common in the mid 2000s for higher level players convince noobs to follow them into the Wilderness. They usually said they can show you where to level up or gain gold or something. Obviously, such a cool thing would require a degree of risk so when they told you to ignore the warning when entering the Wilderness it didn't seem _too_ sketchy. During the trip they'd advise you on how to outmaneuver the non-player enemies, which made them seem more trustworthy. Then, once they got you in far enough that they could attack you, they'd kill you before you even knew what was going on and make you feel stupid while you died. The new players would lose everything they had from tutorial island, and being unfamiliar with the world, would have no idea how to get back to it even if they wanted to. The experienced players gained little to nothing from doing this. It was just fun for them to be malicious. It taught a lot of kids how utterly cruel the world is, to never trust anyone who you think might be kind or generous. If someone appears that way, they're actively trying to harm you and you need to get away quick.

[@l4ur158]

Thanks a lot for your videos, i moved to Japan recently for a year study abroad at Kobe university. And your videos have shown me a lot of really nice places to eat around here . I try to go to Ice de night everytime i get an opportunity to go to sannomiya and i have a lot more new places to go to and know that the food will be good there.
