That's why my favorite franchise ramen here in Ph is Ippudo, I always order the Shiro Ramen too (which is tonkotsu also kekw). Sadly, I haven't have the chance to taste Ippudo when I went to Asakusa. We went to Ichiran that time, then walking back to our hoteru I suddenly saw Ippudo (in kanji ofc) then I pointed it out to my family. They told me, we will go there the next day but it didn't happen cause we are busy with the itinerary. So what me and my brother and his wife did was to eat ramen on our last day in Asakusa, Coming from Ginza we returned and exited Asakusabashi station and randomly went to a Ramen Shop. We hung our jackets and ate the ramen and it was delicious even though the shop was not that famous, the chef even gave us free rice 😂. I remember my Order was a tonkotsu ramen with additional kikurage, negi and aji tamago. The total cost only 1,200 yen which is still super cheap compared to the ramens here in ph 😂😂😂.
ahahahahahah I can imagine your trip hahah!! good gooood!! yes yess walking and go in random ramen shop, that's how Japanese trip should be!! great way traveling Japan : ) tonkotsu ramen with additional kikurage, negi and aji tamago lol im glad you seems enjoyed Japan and Ramen!! Super Japanese order ahahahha and Ippudo, you can try in the philippines hahhaa its really same taste!!
動画は朝の１時見ながらやばいです。(笑) It’s one of the rare times that you really enjoyed and approved of the food. Definitely putting Nikkei in the list of Japanese restaurants I need to try!
Wow! This is the first time you really gave good rating on the food! Congratulations Nikkei! You are Jun Watanabe approved! Even Ippudo got a "Kore umai" from you! Wow! And that says a lot when you rate. Japanese food! And to say it's the best ramen in the metro, that's a big thing! I guess this is the best food rating you've ever done! Very successful! If I may suggest next time maybe you can give the restos ratings from 1 star to 5 stars, so that we know which is the best one to go to! Great job Jun!
Well, generally positive reviews in this video...and as always, I get hungry every time. Maybe try a different cuisine in another video? Thanks for this!
I've been watching your vlogs to find out which Japanese restaurants and ramen shops in the Philippines meet your high standards. Will definitely check them out once I'm back there. I will leave Japan soon and I'm really going to miss authentic ramen like the bowls from Kikanbo and the Hakata ramen in Fukuoka.
Ohhhhhh Enjoy Japannnn! and eat as much as possible real japanese food hahahaha after your tongue become japanese, you will understand the reason im very high standard hahahahah ENJOYYY and im jealous!!!
I agree with ramen having unnecessary creamy taste in most ramen restaurants here in the Philippines. Thank you for your recommendation. I'll definitely try Ippudo!
It is because many Pinoy ramen shops use instant tonkotsu soup paste and not really make tonkotsu soup from scratch for 12+ hrs. This is also a pet peeve of mine and why I usually go to Ippudo for authentic broth.
Omg, I remember my first few months of having my braces. I think half of my food ends up in between my braces, I had to make weird faces to get them out while eating 😅
@@watanabejun just be prepared to get some tongue sores every now and then. Or better yet, just use a proper tooth pick so you won’t have to make weird faces especially when outside hahaha.. Enjoy your braces journey, Jun-san. You will get used to them soon enough. Look forward to eating more once they’re off 😊
Always loved Ippudo. Glad it got #1 for you! Great vlog!
Arigatoooo : )
I knew it! Ippudo has always been the #1 ramen shop for my wife and I.
YYYYeeeesss! you guys have Great taste! it was really good and waanna get one soon again!
