Alright guys today we are on a mission.
It is a Sunday here in Tokyo.
We haven't really done a whole lot today but we are feeling hungry so we're going to be
heading over to Tokyo's Ramen Street (東京ラーメンストリート) for dinner.
This is located inside Tokyo station.
It is going to be a bit of maze because that station is massive.
But yeah we've got the gang.
Sam behind the camera, Rob hiding in the background.
Hey Robbie.
Let's go eat dinner.
Let's go have dinner.
Alright guys so we made it to Tokyo Station and the one clue we have is to find Yaesu
Central Exit or Yaesu South Exit and that is going to lead us towards Ramen Street (東京ラーメンストリート).
I read that online and yeah that is a pretty good clue because this station is massive.
Without that piece of information I'm not sure we'd be able to get ramen for dinner
tonight.
But now you know.
And there is Tokyo Ramen Street (東京ラーメンストリート).
So I don't know if I've already mentioned this or not but Tokyo Ramen Street (東京ラーメンストリート)
isn't a real street outside in Tokyo.
This is basically inside a commercial center underneath Tokyo Station.
And we are underground so don't think we're going to be outdoors in Tokyo.
How to enjoy Tokyo Ramen Street (東京ラーメンストリート).
And how to order a ramen (ラーメン) most importantly.
Yes.
Alright so over here you use vending machines to order your meal.
So basically they have a whole bunch of little photos of the different types of ramen (ラーメン)
you can get.
You stick in your money, you get a ticket and then you stand in line outside of the
restaurant and once there is finally a table for you, you are ushered in and you hand over
your ticket and you are all set.
So I will say that ordering here was really confusing because there wasn't any English.
So we just looked at the photos and we each chose a different colored ramen.
Mine is red and they just came and asked me how spicy I want it.
So I think I've gotten some type of really spicy ramen.
You two have no idea what you've gotten yourselves into but I'm sure it'll be tasty once it arrives.
Alright.
First things first.
You are supposed to try the broth before you even dig into the noodles.
So I'm going to do this right.
Woah.
Is that some kind of spicy?
I got the spicy ramen and they came and asked me how hot I want it.
And on the wall there is 4 numbers.
One very hot.
Two too hot.
Three I can't stand it.
And four crazy.
I asked for 1 which is very hot but it is like mild on a scale.
It still burns.
It is nowhere even near the top level of spiciness.
It still burns on the way down.
Yeah.
But yeah let's talk about the other ingredients we see here.
So we've got some noodles, bean sprouts, some cabbage, some greens.
This looks like ginger.
Oh wow.
Gingy.
Freshly grated ginger.
Oh my gosh.
Ginger.
You've gotta love the ginger.
And yeah let's try these noodles right here.
Look at that.
Behemoth.
So is that some of the best ramen you've ever had do you think?
Is that up there?
I mean I've only had a few select ramen (ラーメン) experiences here in Japan but this is pretty
good.
Yeah.
I'm really happy with the dish I got.
Guys we were on a quest for the best ramen here in Tokyo, Japan.
Nice and spicy.
Alright Sam time for yours.
I am ready.
So I'll give you a tour of what I've got first.
So I've got fatty pork here on the side.
I've got lots of bean sprouts, I have ginger, I have lots of I mean beneath all of that
all is all of the noodles.
You have corn as well.
Yeah, I even have a little corn in there.
So I'm going to like you I'm going to start off with the broth here.
Savor the broth.
What is it telling you?
Oh, it is really good.
Savory.
Not spicy at all.
It is just uh it is a really nice soup.
It is so good.
I'm having one more.
Alright now it is time to get after the noodles and the meat.
So grabbing some noodles here.
Slurps up.
Slurps up he says.
Mmmm.
Oh man the noodles are awesome.
You can tell they are handmade.
Just delicious.
It is so cool being able to watch them like prepare everything.
It is just awesome.
They are just like wizards behind the kitchen.
It is an open kitchen.
It is.
Last thing to try is the pork.
Tender but fatty.
Lots of flavor.
And yeah this is just this is a very cool ramen experience here in Tokyo, Japan.
And Rob how are you doing over there with your ramen (ラーメン)?
I'm doing pretty good.
I'm still not exactly sure what I ordered.
Um it has got a lot of vegetables which is nice.
I like them.
I'm a big fan of the fresh ginger.
The broth is great.
Yeah.
It is not spicy at all.
That is why I'm looking forward to trying yours in a minute.
Um but the noodles kind of steals the show if you ask me.
They are just really thick.
The texture is great and it is all flavorful when you mix it up.
So I'm happy with what is going on here but I've got a little bit of envy for what is
going on with Audrey's.
Especially over here.
Audrey ordered the best.
Actually you know what?
What?
I never tried yours.
Okay.
I'm going to get a little bit of the sauce right here.
You need to sample them all.
Woah.
Hahaha.
As I knocked your spoon.
Sorry man.
That is pretty plain Jane.
Yours is plane Jane.
Mine is bland but Miss Audrey ordered a killer.
And Audrey?
Your thoughts.
I didn't even bother trying your ramens because they looked so plain.
I'm just sticking to mine.
So Audrey you ordered.
I'm more than happy.
I ordered the best one.
You have the best ramen.
Well that was a wonderful meal.
Lips are swollen from the spicy ramen.
Oh my gosh.
I can't imagine what level 4 is like.
But anyways I thought we could talk about the rice for the different ramen bowls.
I have a little receipts here.
So we paid 990, 850 and 850 Yen.
For each of these bowls of ramen.
And we finished them all.
We did.
Rob helped out the most.
Not a noodle was left.
So yeah.
And guys I have one question we'd like to ask.
What is the best bowl of ramen you've ever had?
Where was it and what did you order?
Oh, so yeah.
We hope you guys enjoyed that video.
We sure had a wonderful meal and we'll see you in the next episode.
Tata.
