Yooo what's up everyone?
It's your boy Brian, Ramen Adventures, Yummy Japan
and we're here in Paris
What? You heard me, it's Paris!
Paris is, just like any big city it's having a big old Ramen boom
A bunch of people want to eat it.
There's some pretty bad shops here I've been told
But I'm about to check out the newest one on the block
Let's check it out! Come on!
Alright I'm here at the Saint Germain des Prés Yokocho
Look at this! What? This place is wild!
So one very cool aspect about Kodawari Ramen is: the decoration, the "funinki"
Super cool, it's a Yokocho, kind of a Japanese back-alley sort of thing
And when the shop gets real busy the second floor has also a pretty cool design, kinda different.
Very neat like, kinda looks like a traditional Japanese inn
Wow, really cool, I really like what they did in here!
Very fun, very nice!
One part, I'm kinda happy about this, I helped them get these Chochin
These are from an actual traditional Chochin maker!
These..lanterns
Each one has a different kanji
Each one is the name of someone who helped with the opening of the shop.
Can you read Kanji? Boom!
MacDuckston
My last name if you didn't know!
And here we are at Kodawari so..
let's check it out!
Merci!
Wow! Alright! Photo time!!
We're gonna try 3 bowls with my 3 friends here
Itadakimasu!
Alright the home made noodles!
Crazy!
Those noodles are...those are great noodles!
Soup time!
Nice Umami after-taste going on!
I like that!
They're using kind of a deeper Shoyu so not a lot of that saltiness
Oh my gosh!
Digging it!
I can't believe that you are tasting and reviewing my ramen you know, this is like a dream come true
That's amazing.
Chashyu time!
And then, today only, the Iberico!
Yeah a lot of shops in Tokyo are using Iberico as well, as like a special topping
so it's pretty good!
Alright I'm gonna finish crushing this!
Boom!
Crushed it!
No problem!!
Great! I like these bowls!
Beautiful!
Alright, nice stuff!
Gochisousama! Yeah here at Kodawari Ramen
I loved it!
So yeah we're here with the owner Jean-Baptiste
So, gotta ask my question!
Wow! Parlez vous français? That was awesome! Yeah, I love it!
Killing it!
Kodawari Point, his shop named Kodawari Ramen
Man, alright well if you're in Paris
check it out
Paris is a funky city man!
And now they've got some authentic Japanese ramen
I'm out!
