Kazuo Yamagishi-san is known throughout Japan as the God of Ramen. He was Japan's first true celebrity ramen chef. in the 1960s he invented a style of ramen he called morisoba which eventually became the genre of ramen now called tsukemen.
In this video I attempt a home version of this legendary dish with a recipe written by my ramen buddy Erik Bentz of Cafe Mochiko in Cincinnati Ohio. Erik is a phenomenal chef and its no surprise that his recipe helped me make one of the best things I've ever made, ever.
Ingredients:
Noodles:
600g ap flour
400g cake flour (Swans Down?)
15g salt
14g sodium carbonate
20g whole egg
400g water
Soup/chashu:
6# chicken backs (or whole chicken or chicken quarters)
4 liters of water
5# pork shoulder
Garlic, ginger, negi

750g kikkoman or yamasa soy
10g kombu
15g dried shiitake
12g sea salt
15g brown sugar
50g mirin
20g apple cider vin
Sweet vin (amazu):
130g rice vinegar
17g salt
70g sugar
sall piece of konbu
Bowl assembly:
20cc of chiyu/lard aroma oil
30cc of shoyu tare
About 1/4-1/2tsp sweet vin
A pinch of ichimi
Spoonful of ground katsuobushi

Their dynamic is unreal. Yamagishi is the God of Ramen and Sano is the Demon of Ramen.

@digitalghosts4599 3 ай бұрын

@@WayofRamen It's quite incredible that Yamagishi san was such a humble and compassionate man, while Sano san would even shout at his customers and insult them. I find the type of a teacher who's always humble so much more inspiring and worth following than someone who is so strict that it seems as if he hated not only others, but primarily himself.

It would be interesting to see people's reactions to the actual bowl, since it surely is not what people are expecting. Comparatively soft (some say overboiled) noodles, a quite thin soup with a sweet touch and a strong vinegar punch. Hard boiled egg, firm chashu. Yet, there is something about it and once you start slurping, you can't stop. But I am sure there would be lots of people with question marks on their face. I did the challenge in the Higashi-Ikebukuro store and it was quite the experience, although I would definitely go for a smaller serving of noodles next time.
