We're sampling 4 of the best ramen that Kushiro has to offer. 1 of them is Michelin recommended too...and it's the middle of a fish market!

    He, Frank, that outro for Kushiro was different for you and I like it! You are so focused on ramen, but the outro gives you an opportunity to feature other facets of the place you are visiting.

    • @5AMRamen

      Glad you enjoyed the outro! There usually isn't too much time tor me to showcase things outside of ramen shops...so I'm glad I could squeeze a bit in before leaving Kushiro!

    We stumbled upon Kawamura Ramen after watching a fireworks display during the summer of 2022. My wife and I both really enjoyed a quality bowl of local ramen at a very reasonable price.

    This is going to be a long comment. 😅
    I am catching up on YT videos and I'm happy to see this one. Kushiro might not be known for a lot, but it was our introduction to Japan, in many ways. We flew into Tokyo, but flew out the next day to Hokkaido. Kushiro was our home base for birdwatching in the area. And 30 minutes into the mountains there are places to watch the Red-crowned Cranes. We also visited the harbor to see many kinds of ducks and a snow filled forest to visit 2 owls in their roost. Every morning I started the day with a simple bowl of frizzy noodle ramen from the hotel breakfast bar. Not terribly adventurous, but different enough for me to seem exotic. 😅 The bus terminal was the first place we had a meal too. We ate a delicious grilled fish (sanma/pacific saury) donburi at one on the stalles. I understand in the summer they have barbecue stalles set up along the riverfront. I hope to go back someday and hope you will too.

    • @5AMRamen
      @5AMRamen  11 місяців тому +1

      Wow, thanks for sharing! It's nice to know that Kushiro holds a special place in your heart 😃
      Those wetlands are famous and my only regret was not being able to see more of the local scenery, bird watching and wetlands included. I'm usually moving quite quickly when I'm traveling for ramen. Very happy though to hear that you enjoyed some local ramen at the hotel breakfast bar. That grilled fish donburi sounds like it was a grand too.
      I'm sure I'll be back one day and from the way you fondly speak of Kushiro, I'm sure it'll be the same for you!

      As always, thank you for watching! I normally don't do reviews like that, one reason being that I'm very deep in the ramen world and am careful about any criticism (if there is any). But I totally understand - that would make it perhaps more interesting and even fun 😃

    Hi Frank, love your videos. I doubt you'll read this but if you do I have a question..
    I read/hear that Ichiran is overrated and is bland compared to local restaurants (but they never specify which restaurants are better). What are your thoughts on this?

    • @5AMRamen
      @5AMRamen  Рік тому

      I'm reading it now 😃. Feel free to watch my Ichiran video...I address some of the things you mentioned: ua-cam.com/video/OvBcCNEtpcM/v-deo.html
      I personally like Ichiran but nostalgia is a big part of that. There are def better bowls of tonkotsu (pork bone) ramen out there...but Ichiran is a fun experience (the booths, overall vibe). I think it just depends on what one's looking for there.
