I love that you explain why things are done the way they are in Japan. It is very nice to get to hear it from someone native's point of view. This was a lovely view into the Ichiran experience. Thank you for that.
I served in the military in the 70's in Japan. I was near yokohama and there were ramen noodle shops all over the place. I was more near rural towns, so they were small mom and pop shops. So good.
You probably live in a city or big town, that's possible even in America, just in more rural areas. I say America because I am and I always thought "midwest nice" was a myth until I went the bigger coastal towns [Jersey and Cali being two of the three] and everyone was so inexcusably rude and sad. I'm not surprised more crime happens in big cities, peoole just go around pissing each other off 😂 Rambling aside, I came back to the midwest with new respect and a refreshed perspective.
I enjoyed ramen in Japan and in the USA but I was never sure how, exactly, to eat ramen politely. Your video shows everything and answers all of my questions. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Love the way folks are so polite. We finally have a great Ramen restaurant in my city in Canada. I go there 2-3 times per week. Shoyu is my favorite type.
Thank you for sharing! During one of my visits to Japan on business (from the US), when we were preparing to eat Ramen, my host told me that it was "OK to make a sound". I appreciated his guidance!
@@kosuke_shows_japan I love Japanese food! On a business trip to Tokyo I was invited to a wonderful Sushi dinner at the invitation of the Chairman of the Oceanography Department at Todai University. Once I got used to the pickled baby octapus, I realied I could eat the whole meal..... I even enjoyed Uni! OSHI!! :D :D I even ate Sashimi fish that was still moving, haha :) I never had the courage to visit a Fugu-ya, however. :D
I'm an American, so I was taught that slurping my food is very rude. I love Japanese food and I have visited many Japanese restaurants in America and Japan, so I am trying to adjust to a new version of table manners. I enjoy Kosuke's channel and it is helping me to learn more about the way things are done in Japan.
Wonder if its an American thing, in New Zealand we don't care if you slurp or don't even though we speak English, I reckon large open mouth chewing is considered more rude, i don't think anyone would want to hear meaty squishy noises.
First-generation American of Thai descent. I slurp and eat just like you. I prefer eating ramen alone so I can slurp loudly without annoying anyone. Great video and thank you!
Thank you for your excellent video. I love and respect Japanese Culture so much. It reminds me of how I was raised; to be polite and care about other people's feelings. I am also proud of my granddaughter, who reads, writes, and speaks Japanese like a native. I hope she visits one day. Bless you and yours.
I love noodles! Now I'm hungry and want some ramen, lol. Slurping noodles doesn't bother me, any more than watching someone from a culture different from mine (American here) that eats things with their fingers that I would use a fork or spoon for. Every culture has its own traditions, and those are what makes things special.
I think these little wooden plaques are for people who don't speak Japanese so they can ask the staff. The food looks amazing. What a great video. Thank you so much for sharing this.
I love how you share the culture of your home and explain the locational differences... Thank you for helping people like me to better appreciate Japanese culture. 💜🌹 I have to tell you how handsome you are young man...
McDonalds is basically this now. They rarely have people up front taking orders. They understaff like crazy and keep everyone in the kitchen so you have to wait for someone to come up front if you don't want to use the kiosk.
@@shawnselvaag522 While the McDonald's that I go to has plenty of staff, I like to use the kiosk when I order a meal. I get to stand and ponder over the choices right in front of me while the tv menus at the counter seem to change over before I finish looking at them. I also have an issue with other noises messing up my hearing. The kiosk is a win-win for me. If I just want a coffee, I will order it at the counter. I don't know how busy it usually is as I only go to have an after lunch coffee once a week with friends
I love all noodle concepts from around the different countries. Slurping does not bother me. I like getting to show my appreciation for the chef's abilities. I haven't gotten to travel abroad. It is one of the wishes I know I can't fulfill. I am saddened by that fact as I love food. I really enjoy ramen, udon, and such dishes very much. I would love to be able to experience it from the countries of origin. This an amazing video. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge of ramen, udon, and etc. I am hoping to see more of your videos. Great videography.
I started eating ramen in the late 1960's or early 1970's and didn't know there were so many ways to enjoy them until 1976 when I did my first tour in South Korea. Oh, my taste buds had an eye opening experience. Now I put vegetables, meat in mine plus an egg. I just can't eat them plain anymore... My stepsister called one day while I was eating a bowl and said something about the noise I was making and I quickly explained that's how they're supposed to be eaten. She said it was rude and I told her in a number of cultures it'd be rude to not slurp or make noise. She also served in the Army but never went overseas. I also told her I'm not going to stop eating or enjoying what I'm eating for her. And yes, I do eat mine with chopsticks.
The woman who served the food really touched my heart strings for how sincere, gentle, considerate and respectful she was! And i think if I remember rightly how far down you bow is how much respect you show? Or something along those lines. She went far down! Is all of Japan as respectful and polite as this?
This is an incredibly well made video, I appreciate your efforts to explain in depth of how different things are done in Japan, but this is for sure a special episode. When I go to Japan I'll be excited to try Ichiran Ramen!
I've watched more than several Ichiran videos, this was amongst the top for enjoyment. My favorite is also a rich tonkotsu, spicy, with all the trimmings and firm noodles. Someday, I'll enjoy this bowl from Ichiran!! 😋👍🌻🍜 A really nice video. ❤
I'm from sweden, it's 3am, i'm drunk and idk why but i'm watching your video... I realy liked it ! Thx for it, i'll go hopefully in japan next year as a exchange student near osaka, the city is called nishinomiya if i'm correct, i hope i will have the luck to try Icharan there ! Thx a lot i subscribed !
Oh good to know that even drunk ppl are enjoying my videos 😁 Yeah, that’s great. People in Osaka and Kansai region are funny. I bet you’ll have a good time there.
So good. Makes me really miss my visits to Japan, and the incredibly delicious ramen I had there. Deeply enjoying the food is so pleasing, I also love how polite and considerate the servers are. Thank you.
I really enjoyed your video! I love how you provided some quick cultural background like the ramen song. Ichiran is definitely on my list. I might not be from Fukouka, or even Japan, but Tonkotsu is definitely the best ramen!
I travel to Japan for work and love everything about the country. Especially the food. My favorite ramen place is in Nagoya, they have a spicy ramen that is amazing. Also Sapporo, because it always seems to be snowing there and there's no better time for ramen then when its cold.
This was a nice video! Really human vibes. Japanese people feel very accommodating and seem to take into account everything helpful one might need in any situation. Awesome.
I love the slurping sound - it demonstrates full enjoyment in the food - it’s a true skill that I don’t seem to be able to do. - I can’t take the necessary inhale of breath - - love the individual cubicles - I would enjoy eating in this way very much.
I'm kind of mind-blown that they allow you to order additional noodles for the remaining broth. In America, they would definitely just make you order a whole new bowl if you were still hungry. If I ever have the pleasure of visiting Japan, I would get fat because I would never just drink the remaining broth. I would just be like, "More noodles please!" until the broth was gone. 😂
It’s the same here in Delmarva (Delaware, Maryland, Virginia); you can order a half serving of noodles or rice for very little money. The only problem with that is it you have to know about it it is overcooked.
i go to university in the US and we have an ichiran style ramen restaurant near the campus. the process and setup is almost identical, we just don't have the built in water spigot for each seat :) it's surprising it exists here since i live in a small town in the middle of the country, not in a big city
I love the setup. It's great for people who want to go out to eat alone but are shy or for people who feel uncomfortable eating in public. The booth looks cosy and like you can concentrate on enjoying the food.
I’m visiting Tokyo all by myself in a couple of months and I have been a bit anxious about eating out since I don’t speak Japanese… this video helped me a lot!
that looked delicious. as a westerner my parents always thought me to eat quietly but I really enjoy when Japanese people make slurping sound when eating, makes me feel like I am in an authentically Asian restaurant so makes me thing food will be really delicious here.
Japanese people don’t know slurping is such a controversial topic in the world 🤣 Ordinary Japanese never thought about it and don’t care, which is good I think🍜
Hello Kosuke shows Japan! It's great to see your video on how Japanese people eat ramen noodles at Ichiran. With 851,673 views, it's clear that viewers are interested in Japanese culture and cuisine.

I appreciate that you're open to questions and requests, as it allows viewers to engage with your content on a deeper level. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences with us. I'm sure many people will find your channel to be a valuable source of information and insights into Japanese culture. Keep up the great work!
Man, I just ate korean food, and seeing this now I am craving ramen. Subscribed, as I love ramen, and seeing the map of Japan, with different types, miso, etc. just increased my knowledge and will try ramen from all region here in Canada
As an Indian, I just had an opportunity in Thailand to try.. it was awesome and tasty.. never has such tasty noodles before... I know that wasn't authentic yet it tasted so good
I think most British "foodies" understand the traditional slurping of ramen and would (hopefully) not be offended, especially if done by a Japanese person.
I travelled to Japan a few years ago with a tour group. If I go again, would love to explore much more, especially the restaurants and what the Japanese enjoy eating. Making ramen dishes on my own through UA-cam...got me hooked. Thank you for you videos!!!
Interesting to watch the differences among culture customs in different countries 👍In South America, we do not slurp, and we eat noodles with a fork and sometimes with the help of a spoon. Still, we love Ramen Noodles! 😁✌
There’s this amazing ramen shop down the road and I always get the tonkotsu. As a western hispanic, this slurping is also what I do when I eat noodles! :)) I love this video
Your video reminded me of the time when we went to eat at Ichiran Osaka 7 years ago. I enjoyed the experience. I didn't know that the dividers could be removed until I watched your video or that you could order more at the table.
I love this restaurant. "Eating Concentration Table"...such ingenuity. I admire how orderly, clean, respectful, and authentic this restaurant is. And then there's the delicious ramen...wow. Awesome.
Slurping allows you to eat it hot. Slurping also aerates the noodles and broth which intensifying the flavor. Otherwise, you can let it sit and cool down that would make the noodles soggy.
I am an introvert but not a social outcast. Went there once and found the experience utterly depressing, so much so I couldn’t even finish my bowl of noddles. Will never return again; don't care how good the food is supposed to be.
Same thoughts. I don't like how everyone's secluded. Best meals that I have had and still have was due to the ambiance, and the people/interactions around me.
The uniqueness of this type of restaurant would really be successful in the right places in the US. I would definitely visit this restaurant. That Ramen looks absolutely delicious!
I am watching this before attending Aikido class and I did not eat beforehand. I am so hungry now! The Japanese food here in the US is never as good as what I experienced in Japan. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for your video. Regarding 5:42, that opened egg revealed a soft boiled egg rather than a hard boiled egg. The distinction is that a soft boiled egg has its yolk remain soft and runny from partial cooking whereas a hard boiled has its yolk completely solidified into hard and firm from thorough cooking.
So cool to learn about other cultures and traditions as well as etiquette like learning how to eat ramen. The ramen looks very yummy. Thanks for sharing your culture with us.
What a smartly designed restaurant. I love how polite and professional things are, How the server bows after presenting the food, It's an A+ place. Thank you for the wonderful video.
I'm an American from the United States. Loved the video. Found it very informative. I enjoy eating ramen noodles and unlike other westerners, I happen to enjoy slurping my ramen noodles. It doesn't matter whether I'm at home or out in public. I am still working on getting used to eating with chopsticks though. It just takes lots and lots of practice.
The best ramen I’ve had (yet) was in a Japanese Steakhouse in Chicago; I work for a Japanese company and my boss took me there for dinner. He explained it was Tonkatsu Ramen. I will be traveling to Japan for the first time in a few days and spending time in multiple prefectures and am looking forward to trying the ramen in each of them!
I think eating noisy shows our enjoyment of the food. But ... yes ... I live in America where I get scolded sometimes. Not invited too. Oh well ... I still love it and will not stop. Thank you for sharing your experience.
That was pretty great. Very informative. The base cost is inexpensive, however, when the food arrives, the patron thinks and sees more and more goodies to order. That's when the cost goes up. And it's cash, no receipt... so unless one keeps close tabs of the cost, one isn't sure how much is spent. Clever... very clever. 😂❤
This video was so good. I've visited Japan...and loved it there. I don't mind the slurping at all and I love the small bites of food. I'm looking forward to watching all your videos.
Thank you for showing us how japanese people enjoy ramen. Here in the middle part of germany we dont have many restaurants where you can est good ramen, most if us only know instant ramen. I like the idea of slurping noodles, so you can eat them hot but not burn your mouth cause you suck in cold air too. For old people here it is a sign for bad behavior but for me its a sign that the food is so good that you just cant wait for it to cool down. And my mother in law is half italian, she said that italian people do slurp the spaghetti too.
This restaurant is an introvert’s dream, i love how orderly and polite everything is as well.
100%
Orgasmic.
Correct. I love the isolation.
I’m introverted as hell, but don’t mind talking to the owner/waiters. I don’t think having social anxiety counts as introversion
Introvert or shy?
I love that you explain why things are done the way they are in Japan. It is very nice to get to hear it from someone native's point of view. This was a lovely view into the Ichiran experience. Thank you for that.
Never been to Japan but always loved the culture , cuisine and the way people talk to each other.
I’ve been saying this all my adult life, such a beautiful culture.
The whole point of this restaurant is you don’t have to talk :)
Well you should see the actual japan LMFAO this shows nothing, they are creepy, dying, and literally exploit children for idols
Japan is an addictive place for those of us who love and appreciate culture. I always miss Japan when I'm not there!
@@EZ_Case Bet you have never lived there. What do you know about their culture.
I served in the military in the 70's in Japan. I was near yokohama and there were ramen noodle shops all over the place. I was more near rural towns, so they were small mom and pop shops. So good.
Thank you for your service
May I ask which military, is it a foreign deployment?
Did they slurp and did you?
I appreciate this video so much. I think that if i get anxious when I go to Japan, going to a restaurant like this would be so easy and comforting
I never thought watching a video of someone eating Ramen noodles could be so relaxing. Thanks for the video
Then I encourage you to discover other Asian ASMR food videos. 😁👍🏻
Made me hungry!

IMO...Besides adding flavor to noodles & cooling noodles, slurping let's cooks know that you're enjoying the fruits of their labor!-lol
same in germany
My brother and son would avoid eating with you due to the slurping. I'm not a big fan either. Whatever makes you happy though is ok.

If you give Ramen to villagers from the middle east, of course they are gonna eat with their fingers.
I worked with a Chinese, and he slurped, too. So I'm guessing it's an Asian thing.
@@pwk22, they also slurp in Korea. Sometimes I even crave kimchi and can eat half a jar before I start to feel satisfied.

Let’s do a “how Americans eat bbq”My family owns a bbq restaurant in California. Off The Grill in Sanger CA 😎
I love the slurping sound - it demonstrates full enjoyment in the food - it’s a true skill that I don’t seem to be able to do. - I can’t take the necessary inhale of breath - - love the individual cubicles - I would enjoy eating in this way very much.

most ramen placed in america you can order extra noodles for your remaining broth. At least all the places ive been too in NY, MA, and CT
You can order as many sides of noodles as you want for about $2-3, here in California.
Me too!
Are you sure your not just assuming that because of angst for the US?
It’s the same here in Delmarva (Delaware, Maryland, Virginia); you can order a half serving of noodles or rice for very little money. The only problem with that is it you have to know about it it is overcooked.
I will tell you that this is seriously the best ramen I’ve ever had. It’s so simple, but everything is so perfected-it doesn’t need any additions
Lol I feel bad for you. Their ramen is absolute trash compared to most small shops.

I think most British "foodies" understand the traditional slurping of ramen and would (hopefully) not be offended, especially if done by a Japanese person.
I am from the states and I I slurp my noodles when I eat ramen in public, it's how you are supposed to eat it. Don't stifle your slurp!
Looks delicious 😋, I really like the private eating booths. Hi from Australia ☀️🌏
Thank you. Australia is close to Japan. Come come 😁
Beauty comes in many forms, this one is in food. Thankyou for sharing.
I travelled to Japan a few years ago with a tour group. If I go again, would love to explore much more, especially the restaurants and what the Japanese enjoy eating. Making ramen dishes on my own through UA-cam...got me hooked. Thank you for you videos!!!
Interesting to watch the differences among culture customs in different countries 👍In South America, we do not slurp, and we eat noodles with a fork and sometimes with the help of a spoon. Still, we love Ramen Noodles! 😁✌
Im italian, I eat spaghetti wit h the fork and noodles whit chopstick, i dont know why, maybe is a form of respect for the food?
There’s this amazing ramen shop down the road and I always get the tonkotsu. As a western hispanic, this slurping is also what I do when I eat noodles! :)) I love this video
Wow! I never finish all my noodles when I get ramen, so I can't imagine ordering extra noodles!
Right. I ordered a medium and ate 3 meals from it.
@@tinytt854 Same !
Your video reminded me of the time when we went to eat at Ichiran Osaka 7 years ago. I enjoyed the experience.
I didn't know that the dividers could be removed until I watched your video or that you could order more at the table.
I love this restaurant. "Eating Concentration Table"...such ingenuity. I admire how orderly, clean, respectful, and authentic this restaurant is. And then there's the delicious ramen...wow. Awesome.
I want so much to visit Japan! My brother visited and fell in love with it. The Ramen looks wonderful. Thank you for showing us real life.
Slurping allows you to eat it hot. Slurping also aerates the noodles and broth which intensifying the flavor. Otherwise, you can let it sit and cool down that would make the noodles soggy.
Slurping solves everything:-)
I am an introvert but not a social outcast. Went there once and found the experience utterly depressing, so much so I couldn’t even finish my bowl of noddles. Will never return again; don't care how good the food is supposed to be.
You do you.
Same thoughts. I don't like how everyone's secluded. Best meals that I have had and still have was due to the ambiance, and the people/interactions around me.
The uniqueness of this type of restaurant would really be successful in the right places in the US.
I would definitely visit this restaurant.
That Ramen looks absolutely delicious!
Thank you for uploading this and how you eat everything on the ramen. Most videos just show you how to eat the noodles.
Love your channel. Love Japan 🇯🇵
I am watching this before attending Aikido class and I did not eat beforehand. I am so hungry now! The Japanese food here in the US is never as good as what I experienced in Japan. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for your video. Regarding 5:42, that opened egg revealed a soft boiled egg rather than a hard boiled egg. The distinction is that a soft boiled egg has its yolk remain soft and runny from partial cooking whereas a hard boiled has its yolk completely solidified into hard and firm from thorough cooking.
I love this concept! Ramen is one of my favourite dishes. This ramen looks delicious by the way! Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
So cool to learn about other cultures and traditions as well as etiquette like learning how to eat ramen. The ramen looks very yummy. Thanks for sharing your culture with us.
Thanks! Learning the country’s culture and eating its food go hand in hand🥢 😋
What a smartly designed restaurant. I love how polite and professional things are, How the server bows after presenting the food, It's an A+ place. Thank you for the wonderful video.
I like how convenient that looks ,just roll in place your order take your seat and relax ☺️
The respect and courtesy shown by everyone who works there is so amazing! Such a great video, thanks for the upload!
How are y’all so darn healthy? You ate an insane amount of noodles but I like seeing how other cultures operate. Thank you.
Thank you! That was very educational but has made me hungry for some Ramen noodles.
I enjoyed watching this video. Straightforward and informative, and maybe because I am a ramen lover as well. Keep up the good work!
I'm an American from the United States. Loved the video. Found it very informative. I enjoy eating ramen noodles and unlike other westerners, I happen to enjoy slurping my ramen noodles. It doesn't matter whether I'm at home or out in public. I am still working on getting used to eating with chopsticks though. It just takes lots and lots of practice.
Everything is so clean, organized, I love it!!! Oh I would want to eat that meal, with beef, shrimp, pork and lots of both and noodles
Thank you for this video...what a wonderful idea for eating in your own space ..rienie from Cape Town South Africa
I love your video. Growing up not slurping, it takes great effort to slurp my noodles. Thank you so much for your video. I subscribed. Thank you.
The best ramen I’ve had (yet) was in a Japanese Steakhouse in Chicago; I work for a Japanese company and my boss took me there for dinner. He explained it was Tonkatsu Ramen. I will be traveling to Japan for the first time in a few days and spending time in multiple prefectures and am looking forward to trying the ramen in each of them!
I love your videos! Thank you!
Men you are so polite, thank you for sharing this experience.
I'm an American that love's ramen and love's the video! Keep on slurping! Thank you for posting brother!
I think eating noisy shows our enjoyment of the food. But ... yes ... I live in America where I get scolded sometimes. Not invited too. Oh well ... I still love it and will not stop.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
That was pretty great. Very informative. The base cost is inexpensive, however, when the food arrives, the patron thinks and sees more and more goodies to order. That's when the cost goes up. And it's cash, no receipt... so unless one keeps close tabs of the cost, one isn't sure how much is spent. Clever... very clever. 😂❤
This video was so good. I've visited Japan...and loved it there. I don't mind the slurping at all and I love the small bites of food. I'm looking forward to watching all your videos.
My grandson was in Japan last year for two weeks. He had nothing but good things to say about Japan and its people and food. Best Ramen he ever had.
Thank you for showing us how japanese people enjoy ramen.
Here in the middle part of germany we dont have many restaurants where you can est good ramen, most if us only know instant ramen.
I like the idea of slurping noodles, so you can eat them hot but not burn your mouth cause you suck in cold air too.
For old people here it is a sign for bad behavior but for me its a sign that the food is so good that you just cant wait for it to cool down.
And my mother in law is half italian, she said that italian people do slurp the spaghetti too.
This video reminds me of how much sound there is in Japan. Restaurants, convenient stores, toilets lol…etc. there are so many chimes and songs
Unbelievable how respectfully the food is served. Also a lot for only $10. Hopefully I can visit Japan someday for the sushi and culture.
