    Marudori and Mendokoro Ramenba have the same owners! Also interesting that the creaminess stands out for you, because I've always thought that tonkotsu ramen has that quality.

      ⁠@@watanabejunI’m in SF, in the US. Same here, tonkotso ramen here is creamy as well, cloudy. I always thought because of the process in making the broth. Pork bones are boiled for up to 18 hours that gives the broth the rich texture. 🍜

      @@jessicaal415 ohhhh in USA too??? hahaha yeah Tonkotsu become rich texture but in Japan not that kind of rich texture! I can not tell what exactly is different or what ingredient, but I never feel "ohhh it's my culture tonkotsu ramen! " hahaha well, mix culture make new style taste so for me its okay and happy with it, but it just doesnt make me feel home country taste hahaha

    Again another food vlog! I loveeeeee!
    My friends say Mendokoro ramen is good but you have to go there at the right time because the waiting line can be crazy! I should go out Quezon city more! I miss eating authentic Japanese food.
    Also would like to try key coffee, but since I don't drink coffee anymore I'll try their tea selection.
    Also I miss working out, but still can't do hard , strenuous workouts since my operation. But in due time!
    Again thank you so much for the great vlogs! Keep smiling Jun!

    You're right. Same reaction I've tried a few ramen in Kyoto and Osaka like Ichiran and compared with my twice visit of Mendokoro. I'd say it's too creamy that I couldn't finish the broth. It's a bit too much.

  • @zeroedout
    @zeroedout 5 місяців тому

    My comment with Mendokoro is their noodles. They use thick noodles on creamy soup. The reason Hakata style uses thin noodles is so that it wont "grab" too much flavor of the soup. But most Filipinos like this kind of strong taste hehe. I usually order Shio ramen from Mendokoro as I find their Shoyu too strong. What makes me go back is their chasu, though.

    • @watanabejun
      @watanabejun  5 місяців тому +2

      that is very agree with you about noodles hahaha filipinos love strong taste I think its related with warm weather country maybe!

    For me, Mendoroko Ramen has the best gyoza in Philippines. The ramen is really good but it's difficult to finish the whole soup because it's too creamy. The gyoza is a must try.
