There were no personal attacks made, he was literally just roasting him for not being able to finish the noodles as easily as he bragged in previous talks with his friend, as mentioned in the video.

    It's really cool that the original owner still comes in and chills out there even he's retired. He must gain a lot of pleasure from that also. Many retirees can end up feeling lonely or no sense of direction so I think it's great for him in terms of his sense of purpose and mental health

    Awesome noodles. I’ve gotten there late and had to turn around and get there early the next day. I used to call him Soba-sama and he’d laugh and call me Wheeru-kun because of my lightweight sports type wheelchair I used to get around town. He was a kind dude who’s passion was unrivaled. I heard he’d actually have them toss broth that wasn’t right in his later years. A perfectionist till the end of one of my great memories from my almost six years in country.

    • @pokeken
      @pokeken 8 лет назад +8

      Alot of people find this vid annoying is because instead of talking to his friend about the taste, history, and culture of ramen, he just turned the second half of the vid into a playground "bigger dick" contest....in the end it came across as disrespectful to the food.....and this is a food blog right?

    • @enix0053

    • @Jasopaul
      @Jasopaul 8 лет назад +5

      pokeken true, but he was trying to illustrate a part of Japanese food culture and ramen culture that is seldom found in American shops. In the us people eat a bowl in 20-30 minutes, but in japan everyone takes less than 10. It's just a part of the culture and story that he wanted to tell.

    • @enix0053

      Bred Saint because most of the time, people don't know when he is joking around. if you get irritated, then do you think he'd intentionally do that? and if it was intentional, what would happen to his show?
      im just saying people are quick to judge to things they dont understand, and in this case, his sense of humor.

    Omori means extra portion thrown on top, mori is just regular size. Before ordering, I would have warned my foreign friend about the crazy portion of noodles on the side unless I have a reason to give him a hard time. I've been to a ramen shop run by Taisho-ken chef's student. They are also generous with extra noodles and they will pressure you to finish what you got. If you feel intimidated, you should specify how "super-sized" you want your omori to be. Japanese people are math oriented and they'll quickly measure the portion depending on your request.
