    I watched this video shortly before my visit to japan. My hotel happened to be right next to an Ichiran location and I decided to try it for an early dinner.
    I went back the next day for breakfast, lunch, AND dinner. That's how good this place is.

      I think in Ichiran’s case it has more to do with focusing on the flavour of the ramen. Because you aren’t getting a lot of visual input other than the bowl in front of you, your other senses are enhanced.

    • @devandevan1403
      @devandevan1403 5 лет назад +129

      I went to ichiran on my last day. It was very good but i dont think it was the best Ive had in Japan and I'll explain why.
      When i checked off the boxes to customize I pretty much went medium on richness and garlic etc... So while it wasn't bland it certainly wasnt as rich as i liked it. So the fact that you can customize your ramen is what ruined the experience because I dont usually have the option to choose how my ramen is actually prepared besides the kind. Usually you order and thats it.
      So for me the customization was a pro and a con because I played it safe with the flavors but when I go back to Japan I'll give it another try and try something different with my order.

      Cloudy Skies I wouldn't spend a plane ticket to Japan just for this ramen. We went to Japan last spring and tried ichiran just to see what the hype was about. The broth was *extremely porky*. We all thought it might as well have been pig jacuzzi water. We couldn't finish half of it. If you're a big fan of porky flavor you might love it I suppose. I'm actually a big fan of Japanese food even any other tonkotsu ramen but basically this is the only thing I haven't liked. Go to Japan for other amazing ramen places though. All of the places recommended by TabiEats on RUclips we're mind blowing and we would go every 2-3 days to those! Cheers :)

    Absolutely one of the best ramen experiences in Japan! You didn't show the sign on each booth instructing you to "Focus on Taste!" We fell in love with this place and haven't had ramen this good since.

    If only my country had such private one person booth I wouldn't have need to spend so much money to get my friends to come with me and end up paying for them too, coz sitting alone on a table with 3 empty chairs is just awkward
