    My wife is Brazilian but is also half-Japanese. The Japanese side of her family (her grandparents) hails from Wakayama. We visited Wakayama back in October of last year (2021) with her father and it's a very beautiful area with rolling green hills, especially by the beach (lots of surf spots and retired Japanese who live to surf all day). The ramen and food are indeed delicious, and we want to visit Wakayama again.

      Shogo could make a killing as a tour guide.
      He and his family and friends could run a business similar to the "hire a friend" industry, only the people getting hired act as tour guides and translators for individual tourists (rather than the giant tourist groups being shepherded around pre-determined sights and destinations).
      Imagine having a local to show you around town and follow you around wherever you may want to go, and helping you with translations as well as etiquette in different places you go to.
      It would probably cost more than signing up for a regular guided tour of course, but man it would be so worth it for the many tourists who are interested in going to Japan, but feel a little intimidated by the language barrier and the cultural differences.

    I had the Hokkaido ramen when my wife and friends and I visited Sapporo. It was wonderful and, along with the city's namesake beer, warmed us wonderfully after visiting the Snow festival. As for the Wakayama ramen, I think that's what a local food truck called the Ramen Rickshaw sold, only they called it Peddler's Noodles. It was so delicious that the front desk ladies in my old office knew that if the Rickshaw was around, they were to buy a large order of the Peddler's Noodles for me, tip the Rickshaw, and get a tip themselves when I was able to eat. Unfortunately for me, years ago the Rickshaw posted on Facebook that they were retiring because they achieved their goal of putting their daughter through college.

    Interesting. The history of ramen in Japan seems to almost parallel the history of pizza in the United States. Both were brought into their respective countries by immigrants, then spread out across the nation, and now many areas have their own variations. I had incorrectly assumed that ramen was a Japanese creation.

    I can only eat halal food as a muslim, but I love the thick kind of soup broth too 🤤 In some of the Malaysian's beef soup and Indonesian's bakso broth, the beef bone and fatty meat are boiled until the richness of the fat and bone marrow blended into the soup. If the broth is made with chicken, they'll boil the chicken carcass with chicken wings or chicken feet until the rich thick broth is achieved. Yes it takes one whole day to make that, or we can use pressure cooker and boil them for a few hours. I once ate at a mamak stall that sells that kind of beef soup and they will ask if we want to add a raw egg into the thick, hot soup. The taste is, heaven... 🤤❤
    And oh, thank you for the historical facts of ramen 💖 If these are included in our school history books, I'm sure more of the students (including me, when I was still in school) will love learning history more! 🤭

      There's another common type of ramen not mentioned in the video, tantan ramen, which adds sesame paste to the broth so it's really thick and rich. It's traditionally made with spicy ground pork, but would be great with goat or beef (beef heart would be amazing in that).

    When making ordinary packet ramen (like maruchan), I usually prefer the original or mushroom flavour and only use a tiny bit of the seasoning packet; adding in garlic, ginger, chili sesame oil (gotta have that sesame oil, that makes or breaks my ramen) and furikake instead. And sometimes a poached egg and thin sliced mushrooms. It lowers the sodium content and just has a richer flavour to me.

    • @Kelnx
      @Kelnx 2 года назад +4

      Next time you make some packet ramen, mix up a cracked egg and pour it slowly into the ramen broth as you stir. Basically "egg drop soup" in your ramen since the egg will cook on contact with the hot broth. I've found this can add a lot of richness and silky texture to an otherwise thin and watery soup.

    I enjoyed your tour of ramen history. I have enjoyed ramen in a few Japanese restaurants. I have no clue what type they served, only that I enjoyed it. In the future, I will look for the nuances that you described. One of the great blessings in this time is enjoying the foods of so many cultures. It isn't surprising that education would add to that enjoyment.

      Hehe I also wonder what he thinks of the maki acevichado of Peru. It’s a on the bitter side as it’s topped with an vinaigrette sauce (made with vinegar, mayonnaise and spicy flakes), but it surprisingly works. It makes sense where it comes from considering here in Peru we also eat a lot of raw fish but marinated with lime juice instead of soy sauce (it’s very refreshing), and have a notorious Japanese community.

    In 1488, there is a record in the Muromachi period monk's diary, Inryokennichiroku, that the monks ate noodles made from brine, which was introduced from the Ming dynasty.This is considered to be the same as ramen noodles. Tokugawa Mitsukuni (1628-1701) of the Shogunate ate soup noodles made by Confucian scholar Zhu Zhiyu (1600-1682) from the Qing Dynasty. It was around 1910 that ramen became popular among the common people.

    I love love love ramen. When I feel lazy, I would go to ramen shop near me but the ones near me tend to use egg noodle, which isn’t authentic. But when I feel like cooking, I would cook my own ramen including the noodle, the broth and the char siu meat. Though to be honest, I wouldn’t know how to make authentic ramen if it wasn’t for my friend’s grandmother who would often introduce me to different Japanese dishes as well as teaching me how to make them properly
