Love the video and will probably order. But hang on to that relationship! I’m so jealous of the obvious love and respect you two guys give each other!!
It's currently a good time to eat instant ramen in Japan, lots of great bowls out there! I am a big fan of the Nakiryu mazesoba. Good job showing the world what's available!
Haha, thanks for sticking around until the end! Maybe that's assisted with ramen eating over the years 😅. We always have the most fun with that banter...glad you enjoyed it too.
You two make up a great dynamic duo! One tip on how to make your bro's sound quality better: Make him record the audio on a smartphone or other device. That way you can sync his audio with the video later. Hope you can give it a try!
Thanks! We have a lot of fun making these. Good call - I recorded my own voice like that but for Mark simply used the Zoom audio. That will indeed make it better 👍
3:03 Was that classical music notation from Moonlight Sonata? I love that piece. That's not the key I learned it in, though 😅 These different bowls all look amazing! I will have to try these top-end instant ramens one day (when I have money!) Thanks Frank, another awesome video, and always great to see Mark.
Yes, that was Moonlight Sonata...amazing you were able to spot that! It was just in a ramen-centered key 😊 Always great to have Mark on and thanks so much for watching, as always!
Frank, I just ordered this pack with "Natsu" and will promptly forget that I did because it takes 3 months to arrive (thanks, COVID), but future me will be so happy! The cha su looked so similar in the bowls that had it, so do you think there is a cha su factory that specializes in it that supplies these premium ramen packs?
Thanks so much for ordering and for your patience in advance, in this insane global shipping environment! I hope your future self enjoys these as much as we did 😊 That's a good question regarding the chashu...I think the big players (Maruchan, Myojo, New Touch, etc.) still make it in house and just ended up sharing the technology...but I could be wrong too!
[“Pork Chashu”] Hi Frank! Have been faithfully watching and enjoying your every vid for the past years. Love how describe your many ramen experiences. Just wondering though. Why do you say “pork chashu”? Isn’t chashu made from pork unless otherwise indicated? It’s like saying “pork bacon” or “egg omelette”.
This is true, quite redundant of me...I think it's become a habit 😊 Although we are seeing a lot more chicken chashu these days, especially at modern Tokyo shops, where it's almost a requirement now to have both chicken and pork slices! Thanks so much for following all these years and supporting the channel!
Love the vid but I hate PORKY ramen! We have a place here in NYC that has a very porky ramen. Once it cools down a little you can see the fat in the broth start to congeal and it wraps around your chopstick so that you have to stir it a bit to get the broth ‘moving’ again. Its the only ramen that I cannot finish the bowl..near the end I usually throw in the towel. And when I sweat it must smell like a petting zoo! But the other bowls look great! Can I order the 5 bowls but substitute the porky one for something else? I got the Miso bowls recently and they all were great!
Yes, really porky ramen does leave a trail of funk and fat everywhere it goes...I love the petting zoo analogy 😅 You're welcome to have that bowl replaced with something else when you order...miso ramen or otherwise! Just please write a note in the order or shoot me message 😊

Another great team-up with the bro! And some great looking ramen too 👍
Yes! We should 🍜 collab again soon

Thanks for watching! If you order, I hope you enjoy them as much as we did. We will definitely hang on to that close bond we have 😊
Delicious!! Looking forward to the next bro!! 😁😁
Thanks for joining and as always, great times!

For sure! Some amazing ones on the shelves now, including that one from Nakiryu.
I always love to see your collabs with your brother
Thanks, we love filming them!
awesome video as always
Thanks for watching!!
Frank: "Cuz I don't have a liver anymore" . . . I wonder if that's why you can eat so much ramen . . . . Y'all's brotherly banter cracks me up!!
Haha, thanks for sticking around until the end! Maybe that's assisted with ramen eating over the years 😅. We always have the most fun with that banter...glad you enjoyed it too.
I'd love it if you decide to make a video about Yatai Ramen. One of those old wooden cars pulled by and old man, it's just something amazing!
That "Game" part very Filipino 😏😏
Haha, true that.
Just ordered mine. Thanks Frank and bro.
Thanks so much for ordering! Will be shipping out soon 😊
@@5AMRamen I received mine today in Mississippi. Super fast shipping Frank. Thanks again!
@@5AMRamen Exceptional choices Frank. The Tomita tonkotsu and Nakiryu spicy tantanmen were my favorites. I need more of the Nakiryu in my life.
You two make up a great dynamic duo!

Hope so too!

That Sounds Interesting And Incredibly Oishi Frank Please Show Me What You Got For Today My Friend. 👍😎
Thanks for watching! It was all certainly oiishi. I got a full stomach, that's for sure.
By 'historical', do you mean Showa style old man ramen, or exceptionally good?
Showa style old ramen - they've been around since 1938! They're also exceptionally good 😊
You guys are killing me over here... I haven't had a good bowl or ramen since I don't know when
That has to be remedied (grabbing a good bowl)! Hope you're well...its been ages.

@@5AMRamen love your content bro keep up the grind
How do they put decent choshu in an instant ramen? We get Tapatio in our instant ramen in LA 😂😂
Sounds deliciously fitting for LA 😊
Good Japanese technology for getting those instant chashu just right!
Is your brother in the UFC?
He was 👍
@@5AMRamen Good stats & Record.

OMG! I am from the Philippines. I want to take an order for this but its too expensive 🥲
