hey guys a little bit of a special treat
today so this restaurant here with this
called mata tora
actually sells
a5 wagyu
that's right
wagyu beef namin is a thing and today
we're gonna go take a peek check it out
so there's a sheet that allows me to
customize my ramen i'm going to go for
strong flavor green onions i definitely
want some noti or seaweed
foreign
i'm the only person
in the restaurant right now and to have
the upper floor entirely to myself feels
like a treat all of its own
since i've ordered the special ramen
today i get kind of my own private
little room
and they're bringing the the ramen and
the meat separately so that we can
actually get a good shot before before
it all melts
it melts
nice little room i've been looking
forward to coming to this place for a
while and before i jump into the good
stuff i'm going to start with their
cheapest ramen which is 500 yeah it's
actually it's already it's already
coming
up
all right so
this is their you know what let me grab
the camera and show this is their
cheapest menu item and their most basic
but still a little bit unique because
the soup base that they use for this
is a special dashi soup base that they
make on their own
[Music]
this is actually a pretty big bowl of
ramen i
i might be in for more than i was
expecting today
um
honestly even for 500 i've made seven
eight nine hundred yen for ramen that's
better than this the soup base
is really flavorful this is
i've never been the strongest with
describing flavors this has a deep and
well-rounded so it's it's a little bit
sweet while being still kind of savory
it's not the super salty type of ramen
and it's not an overpowering flavor
either that's that's the best i'm gonna
do when it comes to describing foods i i
hope that works
i skipped every single meal today in the
anticipation of eating multiple bowls of
ramen so despite this being a rather
large bowl oh i am ready for a second
i'm very
very ready for my next bowl more than
anything though i'm just really excited
about this wagyu i didn't even know this
existed until a month or two ago when i
accidentally
put both words in at the same time okay
it looks like it's here
here we go
right
[Music]
the king
[Music]
it's so beautiful that i don't even want
to dig into it
and ruin it but
i guess here we go
oh wow that just
that just comes right apart
here we go
night and day
night and wow the meat flavor takes over
absolutely everything this
wow this is incredible
this what
the ramen itself
actually tastes like
meat it's just oh okay you know what
we're gonna it's probably because i'm
eating it with meat i'm gonna go for
just some noodles without any meat
whatsoever
this this is an experience
all of its own i don't
i don't even know where to start with
this this is
this is a treat this is like the
absolute
year-end treat and
the gold itself has no flavor
japan has this thing with putting gold
flakes on stuff so you can get gold
flake ice cream and gold flake takoyaki
and all of that
also you may have noticed you probably
have noticed
that they just put it on there
basically raw as soon as it gets put on
there not only does it start to melt but
the heat of the the noodles actually
kind of cooks the meat just a little bit
so i want to start with a little bit of
this truffle salt
i feel very fancy today
oh wow
i don't know how to
i don't know what to say about that
try a bit of this this truffle oil
so now
i'm going to give one of these
a shot
okay this is shirowebi so it's
it's white shrimp
[Music]
that is a totally different dining
experience it just takes the ramen and
turns it into something else
entirely also you could sit here with a
single bowl of ramen and just have five
or six different flavor this is
incredible this is by far the most fun
ramen i think i've ever had
i'm gonna try the red snapper one as
well
because it's telling me it is by far the
most
popular one out of the bunch so no
dropping your chopsticks just feels so
much worse when you're at a really
classy place doesn't feel great all
right
not great norm here we go
red snapper
okay okay that makes it i don't know if
you've ever had like red snapper sushi
it's got a very strong fish taste to it
and this actually really so this ends up
tasting like a very strong fish based
ramen wow these are fun
while all those flavorings are
absolutely fantastic i'm not gonna lie i
have completely
fallen in love
with this truffle oil and salt it is
such
such a treat i hope you've had some good
meals yourself this year once again
thank you so much for joining in you
know
i will see you again
real soon
also i do understand that for some
people the concept of raw meat may be
far beyond your comfort zone or
expectations and that's okay i'm i'm
sure i'll see you in the comment section
[Laughter]
you know what i should have done and i
didn't even think about it until right
now do you remember okazaki sam from the
last tiny apartment video
the girl who was studying architecture
in university and had so much passion
she flipped that video around i walked
into those apartments and was like what
is this and she looked at it through
such a different i should have called
her up and been like hey
do you want to let me treat you to a
bowl of ramen to thank you maybe we can
do another project with her in the
future i should get in touch
all right coming clean i've been sitting
here for the better part of
an hour trying to finish this while
those slices are thin that is a
substantial meal the fact that it was my
second bowl might have also had
something to do with it honestly by the
time i got through the first slice i was
good i was i was i was full
the second slice
was pure luxury
[Music]
you
