I think introvert means you still enjoy hanging out with people but you need alone time to recharge This counts as social anxiety where you scared / don't want to interact with people, not introvert
Justin Saephan really?that sounds a lil bit expensive for me.i think for 15$ to give you “that” experience its understable,but probably not for a routine meals. cause in my place its just 1$ and you will get a big portion of ramen
I actually wish there were more restaurants like this. Not because it lessens interaction, but because it allows a person to just enjoy the food without distractions. Sometimes when I eat out, I can't fully appreciate the flavor of a dish because of necessary social distractions.
Bruh extroverts have more problems to interoverted people like me Like they go rambling against us not being part of them (yes im an introvert) since I'm not very talkative enough to people.
@@mathewng1988 Bruh he is holding the spoon and chopsticks on either side. I am sure he is using couple of cameras, one one the table and other on his shirt somethung like a go pro...
Clue it’s organized cause if there was a place like this in my hood, the 9 rolls of toilet paper wouldn’t last a day. The people over there just has better manners and respect others.
Eh, it's not because they care about introverts but because it's more convenient and wastes less time for the consumer. Pre-ordering a ramen instead of going to the cashier saves much more time and requires less men for the restaurant. Vending machines are also common there because of the Work Culture of Japan, not because of introverts. It is much more convenient to buy everything you need in the street whenever you go to work instead of going to a store.
No matter what people say,Japan will always be one of the few best destinations for holidays and eat.Those who never been ..it's never too late,but wait for the pandemic to cease down.

Socializing still sucks the living out of me though. 1 hour and I’ll pass out 😅 I feel like this is the perfect place for me since when I eat I get this feeling of embarrassment when people are around me.
The experience looks so peaceful and relaxin. I wish there were restaurants like that in my country. Here, waiters would come right up to you in the middle of eating and ask if you were enjoying your meal. Sure, they have their own reasons and most people might not be bothered by it, but it’s super annoying when your mouth is full with food and you just want to be left alone with your food
We've inherited this in the UK and it's really annoying. What's worst is when you're mid conversation and they interrupt you to ask how your food is. How not to get a tip.
When my mother and I visited Japan, visiting one Ichiran was like very high on my list. Unlike me, my mother can read traditional Chinese/Kanji so she was very confused as to why we were going there. As soon as we entered and she took a look at the vending machine and all these little cubicles, her eyes lightenend up. It was pretty good, there are certainly better Ramen spots in Tokyo or even around Shinjuku where we went, but the experience made it all worthwhile.
I love ramen. When my husband was not feeling well when we were in Las Vegas last January, I found a really great Ramen restaurant. It helped him feel better. I enjoy your videos and I am a new subscriber. I hope that this finds you doing well.
Damn, I'm Muslim and an introvert so you know damn well I'm coming here every day if I travel to Japan one day. Edit: thanks for the 1.2k likes but why is there a whole war in my replies-
This was one of the recommended food places to visit when my family and I went to Japan. They have, by far, one of the best ramen I've ever tasted and the service is also fast so accommodating. I'd go back there once I visit again :)
@@oooBASTIooo When I visited family in Japan it was probably one of my favorite places to go. The taste was alright, but me not speaking to anyone else (poor Japanese speaking) was the main experience I liked haha
I Will Always Travel for Food actually - for months now the jubako style box (rectangle) has been used in all the locations in nyc (they serve pork) :( so maybe just overseas? I really prefer the round bowl as well.
@@IWillAlwaysTravelforFood I didint know that.. I ate the one with the bowl with pork of course. So if u eat from this means its non pork type? That's how it differentiate itself? I just thought its a new style.
For those who didnt understand "slurping is good manners in Japan" it actually means that when you slurp it, the chef feels good about his food so slurping is basically a compliment
Please keep posting these kind of videos, exploring unique restaurants, hotels, shops, and attractions in Japan. It has helped stave off my feelings of helplessness of not being able to return to Japan this year due to the current global situation.
Bro I went to Japan with my family and relatives in 3 years ago and we always go to Ichiran like almost everyday because it was very nice and this is the best ramen I've tasted in my entire life.
@@IWillAlwaysTravelforFood 08:10 Can you please tell what is the purpose of the container he put on top of the call me button on 08:10. Is it for placing cash payment or something else.
Ramen is always a comforting dish for me. It's nice that you can be relaxed and eat in privacy even in a crowded shop. Convenient, quick, no-fuss, and delicious! 👍
Haha ikr, another illegal move is me mowing down on a group of pedestrians in my 1989 acura legend coupe on the night of January the 13th, 2009. Seriously injuring 19 and tragically killing 3, after my vehicular homicide I was then given 3 life sentences in which before I was given them I left the country and have been on the run. I am now currently residing in a cave in the Himalayan mountains and am wanted by 53 country’s.
Perfect. It eliminates the feeling of people watching you when you eat. I hate that feeling, you look up for moment and spot someone staring in your direction, then they suddenly look away. I know they’re watching dammit, I’m not paranoid!
Oh man, you have me salivating while watching this video! Ichiran ramen is too delicious! I love this no non-sense serving/eating style. Too many western restaurants focus more on ambient effects than the food itself.
Ichiran offers a unique experience. Other ramen shops, not particularly catering to foreigners, are also very good too. Japanese people enjoy the differences. Because of the competition, most are good. It comes down to what kind of soup base you like. I personally don't prefer chicken base. When I am very tired after a long hike, I go for pork. On a regular day, I prefer fish (niboshi) base.
Japanese is a very beautiful country and culture, it's really peace and quiet, everything is so neat They're so polite and kind, and the food is really delicious heheh😋
I’m a new subscriber and plan to do a solo trip to Japan. I’m very intimidated and nervous but your videos help so much. Looking forward to binge watching your older ones. I’ve got a lot of time on my hands suddenly. 🙂
I did a solo trip 2 yrs ago and it was excellent. You're doing your research like you should. You'll have a great time. I highly recommend making a personal Google map to mark all the places you plan to see. That way you don't waste time figuring out trains, addresses, and such. It will tell you how to walk to the station, which train to take, and how much yen it is.
I adore this. Quietandquiet is right, heaven. I also love how she turns off the button by first covering the button with her hand so it's not like, "what do you want?!". Excellent manners all around.

I ate at Ichiran in Fukuoka when last I was in Japan 12 years ago. Gotta respect how no-nonsense they are... not to mention how friendly the whole system is for someone with social anxiety.
That was amazing … I absolutely love the atmosphere of the restaurant, the whole process of ordering and dining, and the ramen looked so good. Wonderful video!
That looks great! On top of it, it is perfect for those "I do not want to speak with anyone" days but I can still go out and enjoy a nice meal. I can just say "Thank you." at the end and I am done!
I have never seen a restaurant like this. What a fascinating experience! Now, I am craving some ramen! Thanks for this eye opening vlog. Take care and stay safe. ♥️🙏🏽🌎
I've been there on november, before covid-19 global pandemic. Really like it. Recommended..!!! one of the best ramen in Tokyo..🤤 greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Thank you, a very informative video. I'd wondered how to order more without having to go back to the ticket machine. Also, showing the toilet (and how clean it was): a very thorough tour of Ichiran!
This restaurant is perfect for loners. I frequently eat out myself but often times it looks strange to others when you're sitting alone at a restaurant full of people who are all dining with friends and family.
lol That's more bathroom tissue than I've seen for a week! 😉 Thanks for the upload, and for all you and Satoshi are doing to make the new normal a bit more bearable 💗
some people are talking about introverts in the comments. But I just wanna say that I saw other videos where places like this would be packed with people. And I enjoy watching this video more because its empty and quiet. So you can just focus on listening to the ambient "diner sounds". That's why I watch these videos, because they are just pleasant to watch and listen to.
For a person who gets extremely nervous when ordering food in public areas, this is legit heaven 😂😂❤️❤️
I remember little me when to japan and i felt so comfortable eating my ramen alone so that was heaven
Sadly i wanna eat ramen again and be alone :(
True, bruhhh
I wish there were somewhere like that in America

As soon as we entered and she took a look at the vending machine and all these little cubicles, her eyes lightenend up.
It was pretty good, there are certainly better Ramen spots in Tokyo or even around Shinjuku where we went, but the experience made it all worthwhile.
Me reads: ICHIRAKU
Second time reading: Ichiran
Me: Oh.
Can't relate it 🤣

I felt that😭
Omg same😂😂😂
Lol me too I watch naruto
I love ramen. When my husband was not feeling well when we were in Las Vegas last January, I found a really great Ramen restaurant. It helped him feel better. I enjoy your videos and I am a new subscriber. I hope that this finds you doing well.
Every time I see someone go to Ichiran, I get so jealous and hungry for Ramen...
Damn, I'm Muslim and an introvert so you know damn well I'm coming here every day if I travel to Japan one day.
Edit: thanks for the 1.2k likes but why is there a whole war in my replies-
Me too
Same
Is it halal ?
@@FnG_Anonymous yes:v
@@FnG_Anonymous it was no pork, so its halal i think
This was one of the recommended food places to visit when my family and I went to Japan. They have, by far, one of the best ramen I've ever tasted and the service is also fast so accommodating. I'd go back there once I visit again :)
Ichiran is average at best...
@@oooBASTIooo let the man enjoy his ramen
oooBASTIooo bet you haven't even gone to Japan to taste it
@@randynguyen997 How do you derive this brilliant conclusion?
@@oooBASTIooo When I visited family in Japan it was probably one of my favorite places to go. The taste was alright, but me not speaking to anyone else (poor Japanese speaking) was the main experience I liked haha
I actually prefer the old circular bowl instead of this rectangular one
The circular bowl is still used at the original ichiran reataurants, where they serve the pork versions
I Will Always Travel for Food actually - for months now the jubako style box (rectangle) has been used in all the locations in nyc (they serve pork) :( so maybe just overseas? I really prefer the round bowl as well.
@@mmm_inxy Well yea, why would locations in NYC be considered as any of the "original Ichiran restaurants"?
@@IWillAlwaysTravelforFood I didint know that.. I ate the one with the bowl with pork of course. So if u eat from this means its non pork type? That's how it differentiate itself? I just thought its a new style.
somewhere on this floating rock, probably Seattle, Mickey Chen just moaned.
StarrPhototype its not that same place sadly
hah, once the world starts being less On Fire he should check the place out and compare it to the ones he’s already tried
Even Ichiran in America can't be compare to japanese one.
StarrPhototype he is probb looking for the hot oil somewhere
He used to be interesting, but he's jumped the shark and has outgrown his creativity.
This was the first place we went to when we arrived on our honeymoon to Japan. This is the best place for jet lag!
1:08 I love how he aggressively takes the yen like he’s annoyed by the machine 😂
Anime style.
Plague 19 am pretty sure he put 10000
I love how he aggressively takes the dollor out of the machine see that dosent work just say money u cant use the word yen like that
@@magnuscarlsenbutdumb it literally makes sense though.
@@AngelaMerici12 cringe
Imagine Ichiran Ramen had put out at least 1 branch for each country, that'd be awesome
azix yes
It would be packed as hell
@@mikehamburger4303 I can't imagine how long the lines would be... reservations could take weeks and even months sighh
Thank you so much for showing us a nonpork ramen. I'm a muslim and I would definitely love to go there! 😊❤️
But there's still chicken broth/beef... might be haraam
True
@@nada2151 bruh chicken and beef isnt haram for us
same!! I wanna eat those so bad
@@soobdoob are you kidding? Of course they are if they aren't slaughtered in the correct way
Nice and peaceful. Imagine after a long day at work and you just want to decompress.
Restaurant sounds are enjoyable too.
Customer never get to see staff. Reminds me of love hotels
3:31 Well at least we got a glimpse
It's like a one meal stand love hotel with your favorite ramen.
Tbh not seeing the cute staff is kinda a con here
8:08 is obvious through
"Let's enjoy some water."
Me: okay
lol
For those who didnt understand "slurping is good manners in Japan" it actually means that when you slurp it, the chef feels good about his food so slurping is basically a compliment
Lmao i didn't know that. But in my home town it's ok if you want to slurping orang even burping lmao.
I had no idea
Yeah that's very true. Slurping is indeed very polite
@@telracsazyl1243 are you Indonesian or malaysian?
Yes, because you know lol
Please keep posting these kind of videos, exploring unique restaurants, hotels, shops, and attractions in Japan. It has helped stave off my feelings of helplessness of not being able to return to Japan this year due to the current global situation.
Bro I went to Japan with my family and relatives in 3 years ago and we always go to Ichiran like almost everyday because it was very nice and this is the best ramen I've tasted in my entire life.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
@@IWillAlwaysTravelforFood 08:10 Can you please tell what is the purpose of the container he put on top of the call me button on 08:10. Is it for placing cash payment or something else.
@@samfisher6971 I think it’s just instructions lol
Man Japan gets to have all the fun with private dining smh 😤😤😤
Ikr?! They get all the fun😩
Yeah
"customer and staff never see each other" phew my anxiety thanks you
8:09
@@msi4887 LMAO
Ramen is always a comforting dish for me. It's nice that you can be relaxed and eat in privacy even in a crowded shop. Convenient, quick, no-fuss, and delicious! 👍
Scriptor13 And unhealthy! But delicious lol
Who cares if its healthy or not i'd rather die quickly than eat healthy and tasteless food (compared to unhealthy food) for the rest of my life
The ending was so immersive, thank you
1:17 PAUSE ITS HIS FACE OMG HANDSOME BOII
Oh no
Face reveall
*Bloopers*
Other me : 😏 Obvious blooper... >Joke btw
10:14 another one
They have so much respect for privacy and respect. Love it
The server showed his face, now that's a truly illegal move
Haha ikr, another illegal move is me mowing down on a group of pedestrians in my 1989 acura legend coupe on the night of January the 13th, 2009. Seriously injuring 19 and tragically killing 3, after my vehicular homicide I was then given 3 life sentences in which before I was given them I left the country and have been on the run. I am now currently residing in a cave in the Himalayan mountains and am wanted by 53 country’s.

Perfect. It eliminates the feeling of people watching you when you eat. I hate that feeling, you look up for moment and spot someone staring in your direction, then they suddenly look away. I know they’re watching dammit, I’m not paranoid!
to this restaurant that had a queue and was full and today it is like this without anyone and sad to see
Yeah, last time I went there in September it was quite a lot of people there, but now bcz the current situation it became quite
Oh man, you have me salivating while watching this video! Ichiran ramen is too delicious! I love this no non-sense serving/eating style. Too many western restaurants focus more on ambient effects than the food itself.
Ichiran offers a unique experience. Other ramen shops, not particularly catering to foreigners, are also very good too. Japanese people enjoy the differences. Because of the competition, most are good. It comes down to what kind of soup base you like. I personally don't prefer chicken base. When I am very tired after a long hike, I go for pork. On a regular day, I prefer fish (niboshi) base.
Its unhealthy the amount of time i keep coming back to watch this video everyday
Japanese is a very beautiful country and culture, it's really peace and quiet, everything is so neat
They're so polite and kind, and the food is really delicious heheh😋
Normal people: run to supermarket for toilet paper
Me: fly to Japan and go to Ichiran for toilet paper
There’s no toilet paper here in the US so...🤷🏽♀️😂
In indonesia the panic for us is mask and Hand Sanitizer +instant Food like Instant Noodle , Nugget, Cornet etc
In France too x)
@@Nico6801 even the instant foods? What city are u live?
HIGH IQ MOVE
I’m a new subscriber and plan to do a solo trip to Japan. I’m very intimidated and nervous but your videos help so much. Looking forward to binge watching your older ones. I’ve got a lot of time on my hands suddenly. 🙂
You'll love Japan! I'm heading there for a solo ski trip in January. When are you going and what cities do you plan on visiting?
I did a solo trip 2 yrs ago and it was excellent. You're doing your research like you should. You'll have a great time. I highly recommend making a personal Google map to mark all the places you plan to see. That way you don't waste time figuring out trains, addresses, and such. It will tell you how to walk to the station, which train to take, and how much yen it is.
I adore this. Quietandquiet is right, heaven. I also love how she turns off the button by first covering the button with her hand so it's not like, "what do you want?!". Excellent manners all around.
everyone is talking about how you don't have to see anyone but I'm just thinking about how there is a wall full of toilet paper?!?
You are simply dealing with another caliber of people
Its heaven for captain yami from black clover
@@keesarasai2829 hey bro is BC still on going ? i was up to date, watching weekly but stopped off where...uh i think where the wizard king became a kid and there was this this other water country they were now kinda getting to know and i think they were rumors of someone else like asta in a far off land :$

Why this japan service so kind even just for ramen, even without face to face, i can feel peace by just watching this video 👍👍👍👍,
That looks so delicious. Now, I'm in the mood for ramen. 🍜
I ate at Ichiran in Fukuoka when last I was in Japan 12 years ago. Gotta respect how no-nonsense they are... not to mention how friendly the whole system is for someone with social anxiety.
That was amazing … I absolutely love the atmosphere of the restaurant, the whole process of ordering and dining, and the ramen looked so good. Wonderful video!
When you love noodles, organization and peace!! This video is a bliss 🤗
Hope you're doing okay during the covid. Hang in there, Japan is strong.
That looks great! On top of it, it is perfect for those "I do not want to speak with anyone" days but I can still go out and enjoy a nice meal. I can just say "Thank you." at the end and I am done!
8:08 imagine being this waiter guy and realising the customer is filming you lmao
why is this so funny to me omg, he ducks down and the first thing he sees is the camera
The guy: OH! Chotto!
I think Japanese people are polite when you filmed them.. they just doesn't care I think?
@@AngelaMerici12
Waiter after he realize hes on camera: naisu!
This made me so laugh so hard
I have never seen a restaurant like this. What a fascinating experience! Now, I am craving some ramen! Thanks for this eye opening vlog. Take care and stay safe. ♥️🙏🏽🌎
John Symons I’ve been there, it’s AWESOME! Both the food and experience !
I'm curious though as to how the staff will know if a certain customer leaves in order to clean up those dishes.
maybe the lights at the beginning that told you which seat was empty? idk tho, they could also just clean after closing
The seats probably have sensors
Sensors. Which tells at first which seat is occupied
Pressure plates with redstone
@@joshuakim4769 lmao that works
no pork ramen, yeah, god bless ichiran ramen ,😍
I've been there on november, before covid-19 global pandemic. Really like it. Recommended..!!! one of the best ramen in Tokyo..🤤 greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Hi
To see that so many others have this anxiety problem, not gonna lie, it doesn't feel too bad.
Why do I torture myself late at night watching this 🤤 😭
That looks so tasty!! I'm suddenly so hungry...
i love that privacy is still valued somewhere! cheers!~i've watched this like three dozen times hahaha and it's still great!
Thank you, a very informative video. I'd wondered how to order more without having to go back to the ticket machine. Also, showing the toilet (and how clean it was): a very thorough tour of Ichiran!
This seems like the perfect thing to eat in the winter on the way home from classes or work.
This restaurant is perfect for loners. I frequently eat out myself but often times it looks strange to others when you're sitting alone at a restaurant full of people who are all dining with friends and family.
It's not strange at all
lol That's more bathroom tissue than I've seen for a week! 😉 Thanks for the upload, and for all you and Satoshi are doing to make the new normal a bit more bearable 💗
I imagine that this is wonderful for celebrities who really just want to have a good meal and don't want to be bothered
some people are talking about introverts in the comments. But I just wanna say that I saw other videos where places like this would be packed with people. And I enjoy watching this video more because its empty and quiet. So you can just focus on listening to the ambient "diner sounds". That's why I watch these videos, because they are just pleasant to watch and listen to.
ahhhh, Ichiran ramen, the place that we can go without speaking a single word, and also a heaven for shut-ins and introverts
