    1:45, a correction. He says balanced taste of saltiness "shoppasa" not sourness "suppasa". He also mentions that "koubashisa" which is toastiness, or roastedness. He does mention sweetness "amasa" as the captions describe. So really he talks about three flavors, salt, sweet, and roast, coming together, not two.

    I think there is a resturant in sweden that use the same recipe. And yes, it was really good. It was really exklusive and you needed to book a time 3 weeks before the acual dinner, because it was hard to get a time (because of the high demand)

      Not enough time to make the broth! It says on the the video it takes *15 HOURS* for the broth! That’s the reason why they are open only 2 and a half hours a day.

    Good idea! Travel to the mist remote part of Japan in freezing cold to line up and eat a bowl of ramen. 🤣

    I'm sure it's great, but I don't think it's worth the trip. I think I'll stick with my local restaurants, thanks. One of them won a best ramen in the prefecture award in 2014, so it's not like it's low-end stuff!
