- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- I visit Fukushima City's finest ramen shops! Homemade noodles, carefully crafted soup...these local ramen bowls tick all the boxes.
But do they measure up against high-level ramen in Tokyo?
From dumpling ramen with a deeply flavored chicken soup to soy sauce ramen with butter, let's find out!
This is the ELEVENTH video of a NORTHERN JAPAN RAMEN Series....covering ramen bowls #26-28 on the trip!

Which ramen bowl you got?
Yes!
I’d devour all 4, given the chance.
I’d get all of them easily
Smash and continue forward
All three looked delicious. Now I have to add three more things to my ramen bucket list. It really says something when I have to split my bucket list and create one just for ramen.
Haha, that's the way to do it! Maybe that ramen bucket list will even evolve into more lists, whether city based or style based 😃
These Ramen bowls look amazing!! You know I gotta go for the ramen with butter! I love trying new styles! I can't wait to see Ramen for breakfast!!
Can't go wrong with butter 😋. Thanks for watching! Breakfast Ramen up next 🍜
Came here from Critical Eats Japan, nice video you've got a new sub.
Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching and subbing.
I have had some cool experiences with remote train station ramen. You're totally right, when the ramen hits the spot, it kicks.
Absolutely - that much more comforting in that environment!
Best two bowls so far! The butter and chicken oil looked so good.
Fukushima City doesn't mess around 😊
Ramen Jedi ..love that! may the broth be with you
...Always 😅
Thank you for another excellent video, weather definitely wrecked havoc here! Love to try enota, dateya. Always have a soft spot for wantan!
Those two spots have some of the best wantan in the country! Always more rewarding to get settled after some intense weather. Thanks for watching!
oh man, urota sounds like something i would love, i love the "chicken forward" trend, and pairing it with something traditional like nama shoyu, so cool,
Yes! The great thing about ramen is that it manages to be both modern and traditional...deliciously balanced.
Aw! You left us with a cliffhanger! All that Ramen looked great.. especially in cold weather. We have a Kitakata Ramen here in NYC…mmm…its ok. I’m sure better there at the origin point! Thanks for all the traveling to get us the inside Ramen scoop! You are the Ramen Jedi. 👺
Ramen cliffhanger! Haha. The cold weather def makes the bowls more memorable. That's neat how there's Kitakata Ramen in NYC. Is that at Banai? We'll actually be visiting Banai's flagship shop (which is not directly affiliated with the ones overseas). Stay tuned! May the ramen force be with you.
@@5AMRamen Yes! That is the Banai one! I went sometime last year.. lots of Chashu in that ramen.
Urota looked very very good!
Great bowl! Easily could be served in Tokyo (where it's insanely competitive among shops).
Thanks for a new journey. Now Fukushima is in my top must visit list.
Aizu Wakamatsu castle is great to visit there, along with plenty of onsen (hot springs). A lot to see in Fukushima!
Both bowls in Fukushima looked delicious. I'm always partial to wantanmen and a magical experience can never be replicated. 😍
Both great bowls 🍜. Indeed, nothing like great wantans!
Your ramen 🍜 videos rock!:) 🤘it’s cool to see different types of Ramen, keep it up!:)
Thanks for watching and saying that! Will keep the content rolling 😊
bowl number 26 looks sooooooo delicious
Great choice 👍👍
The ramen looks amazing.
All great bowls!
Frank, have you ever consider opening your own ramen restaurant? Love your vids, man!
I'm a better ramen eater than creator 😅...but maybe one day (once my skills are better)!
Thanks for saying that and watching!
@@5AMRamen You don't have to do the cooking. It should specialize in unheard of regional styles that rotate seasonally and be open at all the wrong times of day/night.
Wow, I'm so glad the algorithm sent me here, you're very well spoken and knowledgeable! The way you talk about ramen so passionately brings a smile to my face and a grumble in my tummy. More people need to see this you and this channel. Loving every bit of it.
I'm glad it pointed you in this direction! Thanks for the kind words and for watching - will most certainly keep the ramen content coming 😃
At 6:27 Urota is advertising 生コンクリートそば.. that's a really peculiar name (fresh concrete?).. I also just noticed coincidentally it is next to an Indonesian mailbox, that's so international considering you also found the Filipino place at the end of the video! The change to the train journey to Kitakata reminded me of what happens in the movie 5cm Per Second, but the apple pie scene was pretty funny.
Sometimes they'll refer to really concentrated niboshi (dried fish) ramen bowls as "concrete" or "cement" style, due to the gray color and thickness of the soup. Was almost tempted to get that one 😊.
Southeast Asians in Fukushima - who would have thought!
I haven't seen that movie - looks great - need to give it a watch, thanks!
Another great video Frank and looking forward to the next one. I’m curious as to how this ramen adventure started. What is your story? 😊🇨🇦
Thanks! Maybe I should make a ramen origins story in the future 😃. I started appreciating ramen more and more as an adult, eventually becoming compelled to dive in head first.
All 4 bowls looked very delicious! Dateya looks king worthy tho. 🤙🏾🇵🇭
Yes and yes! In my humble opinion, Dateya takes the crown 🍜
Enami definitely looks better.
I really liked Enami's presentation and dumplings 👍
As much as I like pork dumplings that veggie heavy tanmen looks really good.
Nice to get more veggies since ramen normally doesn't feature that much of them. And the richer soup was perfect with the weather outside 👍
Frank, all the ramen that you tried looked great, but that vegetable-heavy one looked especially appealing and comforting. Just the thing for a cold day, I guess kind of like an American vegetable soup. But I’ve got to ask! How was the apple pie? I get so jealous when I see what Tabi Eats can get at fast food places and at convenience stores in Japan that’s not available in the US. And I’m looking forward to my instant ramen order! 👍🏻
Given that my diet on these trips is mostly carbs, those vegetables were more than welcome! Totally know what you mean - the temp really dropped that evening...and that bowl was extra comforting. It brought me back to life after all that travel 😊. The apple pie was good! Another battery charger for the road. And thank you for ordering - we're shipping out your pack on Monday!
Nice descriptions of the bowls, Frank! Have you tried the vegan ramen at the Ueno Station 3rd floor? Kyde & Eric showed it on their latest vid yesterday and said it was great, as well as the gyoza,, and while they are meat eaters, they said they didn't miss the meat at all. Would love to hear your take on it.
I think they went to Ts Tantan? I haven't been to their Ueno location but have been to their other locations many times - good bowls! They really showcase what you can do with sesame - need to try their gyoza tho. In the future, I'll do a proper vegan ramen video, once I get through the mountain of backlog 😅
Ive never tried a lighter chicken based ramen before, hopefully one day
And one day you shall!
keep this shit up!!! love it
Haha, will do. Thanks for watching!
I'm hungry now! Do you make your own Ramen or do you prefer restaurants?
The restaurants def do a better job than I do 😅. Hopefully there's some ramen nearby for you!
@@5AMRamen
Whoa! I'm all giddy! I got a reply back! Lol. You made my day! 😊
I prefer Enami because I love chicken > Fish. :-)
Edit: I also don't like very salty things.
Enami would be your bowl, with the seasoning not too salty and chicken being front and center 😃
I have one constructive criticism 4 you...I feel if you showed more footage of you actually eating the noodles more while still talking to us would be better!! Plz don't hate me hahaha
I totally get it 😊. That's unfortunately difficult at ramen shops since they're usually small (counter seating) and ramen etiquette is all about eating quickly and leaving. However, feel free to watch some of my older videos where I do exactly that - I usually contact the ramen shops ahead of time and go during their slower hours for these!
I live in West Virginia. Our ramen isn't.
Maybe that'll change int he future 👍
