What I love about Japan is a restaurant does not need a Michelin star to be amazing. There are hundreds on hundreds of amazing mom and pop ramen shops that blow these Michelin star spots off the map. I challenge anyone who travels to Japan to leave these Michelin star places alone and go to the little hole in the wall spots . You won't be disappointed.

Michelin stars are not just for the food but the service and ambiance. Many of those mom and pop stores could probably compete on food but don’t get the stars because of the ambiance or service.

As someone who visits Japan for fun, there’s also nothing as ‘hidden gem’ in places like Tokyo as the best restaurants will always have long queues waiting outside (esp locals) or you need advanced reservations these days as the best ones usually have limited seats and are picky with their quality of foods so portions available each day is limited

You are right about a very rich ramen broth not being for everyone. We have a great ramen place near my house and their signature tonkatsu broth is gorgeous but so rich I can only handle a few bites. I get the shoyu which is a lot lighter.

@sonny9054 Жыл бұрын

Hi. Shoyu has always been the most popular type of ramen in Japan and Tokyo is no exception. Tonkotsu (not tonkatsu, which is pork cutlet) is originally from Fukuoka but has gained so much attention during the past twenty years and we’ve started to see many restaurants that specialize in this dish popping up everywhere. Having said that, as a local, I can honestly vouch that shoyu is still king in Tokyo.

@VanillaCoke1956 Жыл бұрын

@@sonny9054 The difference between tonkotsu in Tokyo and actual hakata ramen in Fukuoka is insane. I never understood why all the KZfaqrs liked tonkotsu so much because ever since I started living in Japan, it just felt too rich and if not prepared right, the smell is disgusting. But when I went to Fukuoka and had hakata ramen there...my god is it good.

@sonny9054 Жыл бұрын

@@VanillaCoke1956 san Thanks for pointing this fact out. To be more precise, I believe you can describe that there is a wide variety of tonkotsu ramen in Fukuoka. Depending on the restaurant, the richness of the broth can be different (I’m sure you would have heard the term kotteri=rich/thick and assari=mild/light) as well as the strength of the pork bone aroma. And yes, at restaurants where they serve rich broth tonkotsu, the aroma tends to be stronger (probably traditional Fukuoka style). But I came to realize that this is not always the case and that there are restaurants that have rich but less smelly broth such as Ramen Mamushi and Ramen Benge. On the other hand, there are a handful of ramen joints that serve light but strong aroma broth like Nanking Senryo. I guess this wide variety is the beauty of Japanese ramen and therefore everyone can try to seek out what suits them best.
