  • I make sure my last day in Kitakata, Japan’s ramen capital, is a special one. Kitakata Ramen is one of Japan’s BIG 3 ramen styles.
    In this video, I visit the ramen shop where Kitakata Ramen originated...in the 1920s! This is a big deal. They even still use bamboo sticks to prepare their super thick noodles.
    I’m going to miss Kitakata City a lot...but I’m making this day count!
    This is video no. 14 in a NORTHERN JAPAN RAMEN Series....covering ramen bowls #32, #33 and #34 on the trip.

    Which bowl was your favorite in Kitakata?

    We have a local chain of Kitakata Ramen here in Southern Cali and it’s straight fire, they make their own noods.

    Thanks for another excellent video. Can definitely see the resemblance from "Ume" to bannai. The meat chasiu looks like a replica. Probably wanna try the backfat one , it reminds me of Seabura bowl i had in Kyoto! The sinful but yet smooth bowl is perfect for a rainy cold day!

    • @5AMRamen
      @5AMRamen  2 года назад

      Right on - Umehachi and Bannai def have that same ramen DNA. Sounds like that bowl in Kyoto was a memorable one! Seabura ramen there is quite famous - one of various Kyoto ramen styles.

      It's addictive! Looks heavy and it is to a point...but it's also smooth at the same time and not as heavy as you might expect.

      In the town I probably felt the most laid vibe back during the whole trip - despite running around. I'm sure you'd get the same vibe if you went and would love the ramen there. Thanks for watching - slurps up!

    I'm local, so I go to eat as soon as I want to. I would like all foreigners to experience this taste. If you come to Japan, please visit Kitakata and try ramen. I think it's a taste that you probably can't taste in other countries.
    And while foreigners don't seem to sip noodles, Japanese people sip ramen and eat it. I think it's dirty for foreigners, but ramen is delicious because it's sushi. Please try sipping ramen and eating it.

    • @5AMRamen

      I actually grew up in Tokyo but love Kitakata for all the reasons you mentioned. I slurp ("sip") my noodles too 😃

    Did you stay at Azuma Ryokan? I may be wrong, but a lot of the pictures you showed early on in the video was on my exact route to that ryokan. Anyway, love the vids! I can't eat more than one bowl a day but I've been working my way through them all! I went to 3 over the past 3 days but when I went to ippei they were on holiday (understandable because golden week was last week, very smart of them to take the week after golden week is off!) but I think they are open tomorrow so I'm going to try it!

    How much time does it get you to a bowl to the second you know to process and continue?

    • @5AMRamen
      @5AMRamen  2 года назад +1

      Processing what I'm eating so I can report back? Is that what you meant?
      It's all pretty rushed when I'm in the ramen shops but a multiple sips of soup and a bit of noodles is usually enough - so long as I don't wait too long to report or at least write down my notes 👍
