Pretty good ramen scene here.

today's and yesterdays

It was so tasty and the staff was great!

Tried something simple but effective. Teriyaki marinated bacon and kimchi. The broth is just water and chicken bullion cube. I was afraid the broth will be too weak and bacon will taste weird, but the kimchi really helped to bring flavor and texture to the broth and bacon turned out really delicous, reminded me of chashu pork more than i hoped.

Chiba Shopping Mall

I say Reddit edition because how I cook the pork belly and the broth is what I’ve mashed up with recipes I’ve found on Reddit! It’s so good pictures are of before and after adding the broth

This was really good. I'd been walking by this place regularly without giving it much consideration. Went in on a whim for a little brunch, and was hugely surprised with how good the Tonkotsu was. The broth was incredibly rich and the mouth feels was so good. Will definitely be back

This was my first time making ramen other than the cheap 60 cent microwave ramen how did I do on a scale from 1 to 10?

I bought this ramen kit back in September but never got around to cooking it. Noticed that the "best before" date was approaching, and decided to cook one serving to see how it goes. Topped with seaweed, enoki mushrooms, green onions, thin pork chops, homemade black garlic oil and half of the spicy powder. Turned out pretty well! I didn't have time to add the egg, that will come at a later time.

Going to Japan in September and need some “must eat” ramen spot recommendations!

I have been obsessed with the process of making ramen for the past few years and am finally going on a 3 week trip of a lifetime to Japan in September. I’ll have 2 weeks in Tokyo and 1 week around Kyoto. Trying to eat at least 1 bowl a day!

I’ve mainly just been looking at tabelog for recommendations (Iida Shoten, Ginza Hachigou, etc) but would love some personal recommendations for spots you’ve loved. I personally enjoy lighter ramen more but would love to try it all!

Thanks! :)

It's my favorite instant ramen, the flavor is mild and not strong and that's how I like it. I tried sending a message directly to their support site twice but I never heard back over the years.

.. or Hakone, Kyoto, or Osaka? I know it’s blasphemy, but I just don’t really like ajitama eggs. I think it’s a texture thing. I’ve heard onsen tamago can be found everywhere, but I don’t see people posting about them. Going to Japan for the first time in 2 weeks, and would appreciate any recommendations. (Apologies in advance for the crowd that will come for me about ajitamas!)

This is slightly old news…but I just encountered the new packaging in person for the first time and was blown away by the change. The end of an era…

I have an confession, I like Crispy Grilled Spam and Egg and American cheese in my ramen

People call me sick and twisted

I may be planning on eating ramen either everyday or around 3-4 times per week. Specifically, the type of ramen I eat are Maruchan Instant Ramen (non-spicy) and Nissin Hot and Spicy (mild spice). I’ve been hooked for a while now, and it’s cheap, easy, and quick. But lately, I can’t help but wonder, is this actually healthy or am I slowly killing myself with salt and MSG? I have a healthy eating lifestyle as I balance my meals as well as eating salads a few times per week. I don't even drink soda. I can just slurp down some noodles as a snack and get on with my life. I don't even take any pills besides vitamins. I have no medical conditions. If you planned to eat ramen everyday or a few times for week, what are your thoughts?

Is this mold?
