Feel like visiting Aomori now? Let me know which bowl looks best to you!
Miso curry milk ramen for me 👌
@@jimboypermatotv5211 Excellent choice 😃
the spicy negi ramen looked awesome, but I'd go with a quarter spice. Also couldn't leave Aomori without sampling the third generation niboshi ramen, that one looked really great too.
@@raianspeirs5916 That spicy negi ramen really hit the spot, despite the spice smack to the face haha. 1/4 I think is the way to go. The light niboshi ramen at Kudo was awesome too. That's the people's ramen (of Aomori)!
if you can believe it, i took a day trip to aomori from tokyo to catch the cherry blossoms in '19..had no time to eat anything but i will with your recommendations next time!
Miso curry milk and fish ramen 😍 so much to still try
I know! I feel like I've only scratched the surface!
Nice! I hit up the nebuta festival years ago on my way to Hokkaido ---but never actually tried the ramen. In Japan things are never spicy... until they are! then watch out! ;)
Opposite for me - never been to the Nebuta festival! Hope to go once it's back up and running. Haha, well said on the spicy ramen.
I think I would like to try the curry milk ramen as it's something I've never even thought of before.
Definitely an unusual ramen (in a good way)!
This channel is amazing. It’s just a matter of time before it blows up imho. I would like
Ryan at way of ramen would do a podcast with Frank.
Thanks for saying that 😊. Would love to do a podcast with Ryan - his channel is awesome and it's great to see how he's really blown up.
Spicy all the way!! I’d love to try the niboshi habanero ramen
That one was a pleasant surprise! Harmonious collision there.
Spicy food gets your body lighter and left you refreshed afterwards 🌶
Gave me energy for the rest of the day and the other ramen bowls 😊
Hey, first time commenting here. I’d like to see you review some Tokushima ramen. Can you make that happen?
Thanks for commenting 😊 Unfortunately I only have a few still photos from a past Tomushima ramen trip...no videos! I think I need to go back and capture it all on video.
Oh wow, Aomori definitely has a top-notch Ramen game. All of those bowls looked marvelous, would love to try them all. Super unique takes too!
It was my first time in Aomori and I was pleasantly surprised by all the top-notch ramen myself! All of them hit the spot...hidden gem of a place in the North. Even most people go straight up to Hokkaido, but not Aomori.
The miso curry milk ramen looks delicious
That one was a lot of fun...definitely a good one to end on too!
I'm currently researching new parts of Japan to visit in-- hopefully-- 2022 and just found this video. Thank you so much for making it. There are so many different kinds of ramen and I love that you explain the flavour and components of each. The worst ramen I've ever had was in Fuunji in Shinjuku. As for Aomori, I bought an apple in Gifu prefecture which had just come down from a farm in Aomori and it was by FAR the sweetest, crunchiest, juiciest apple I've ever eaten in my entire life. It was so sweet that I had to share half with my husband. I am now most eager to visit Aomori prefecture after watching your ramen tour. Thanks Frank! :)
Thanks so much for watching! The world of ramen is a deep one, with a crazy amount of styles, as you said. Aomori apples are indeed like candy, haha. Besides ramen or apples, what makes Aomori great (and the greater Tohoku region) is that they don't get as many tourists as Hokkaido or other areas of Japan. This said, you'll sometimes feel like you'll have the place to yourself (especially vs Kyoto or comparable areas during peak season). Definitely worth considering Aomori for a trip. In the coming months, I'm going to be adding more Tohoku ramen videos too 😃
@@5AMRamen Oh I'm looking forward to seeing those and having you show me things I'd never have known about otherwise. Thanks for your reply, what you wrote about the Aomori travel experience intrigues me even further. Bring it on 2022! :)
oh man, that nama shoyu light bowl looked so pure and premium. it really piqued my interest
Could eat that one all say and still feel as light as a feather 😊
Ahhh, I went to that curry milk place. The first time, I wasn't paying attention and got shio. Then I realized my mistake when I unpacked at the hotel then came back later for the no 1. Definitely a unique ramen. I also walked way outta town for some thick niboshi ramen, at Nagao.
Love the dedication - going back for the signature ramen (miso milk curry)! I haven't been to Nagao...will have to save it for another trip. How did you like it?
@@5AMRamen Nagao sells out of their ultra thick fishy bitter niboshi stuff pretty early, at least before 1pm. Apologies and all, they didn't have to, they gave me the standard. TONS of niboshi, on top of tonkotsu stock. Like, even in this normal one flecks of scale were still iridescent off the broth, good fish, decent bitterness as you'd expect.
@@MMMmyshawarma You clearly know your ramen 😃. Sounds like that ultra thick niboshi bowl is worth going back for...the one that got away. I think the future will call for another Aomori trip myself...def with a stop to Nagao!
Those bowl look delicious. I'm not sure about that habanero ramen. Personally I don't care for the habanero or jalapeno taste in a ramen. But that miso curry milk ramen im all in on that bowl.
It was an alien ingredient for sure - never seen habanero in any ramen before that. But I was surprised how much I liked it...some how I think it worked. Miso curry milk ramen FTW!
I'd love to try all of these, except the spicy one. The lighter niboshi ramen is especially appealing but that variation on miso ramen looks delicious. *sigh* cup noodles ain't cutting these days.
Great choices - the lighter niboshi ramen and milky miso ramen are a nice contrast. As to cup noodles, I just started selling premium ones online! I'll be announcing this officially at the end of the month, along with a coupon code for the first 50 people, in case you're interested 👍
I would go with the light one. I really liked the spicy niboshi. Thanks.
That spicy niboshi was a pleasant surprise! Nice choice 👍
Zomg you started uploading! :D :D :D
Finally I did 😀
I already need to hit up Aomori for apple stuff, so the miso curry milk ramen is an added bonus.
Great apples up there - we did all you can eat apple picking and had plenty of apple pie alongside the ramen
I went to Aomori in 2018 (I'm from Sweden) and ate in the same restaurant as you that serve miso curry milk ramen. We loved it!! Have since tried to find the recipe online but failed. When (not if) I go back to Japan I will revisit for sure. ❤
That's really cool you went to Aomori and had that exact bowl! Aomori and the Tohoku region in general don't get as many visitors - even Japanese visitors. Great part of the country with great ramen! I'm sure you're excited to go back.
Your way of making videos is really nice and informative 👌keep up the good work
Thanks for the kind words! Will keep the ramen train rolling 😊
Miso curry milk ramen looks good...would love to try that one...very different
Indeed! Not your every day ramen ingredients 😊
Spicy Ramen for breakfast why not
More effective than coffee 😅
I really like that, with the sheer number of ramen bowl you have videos of, you really get a sense of how diverse ramen is as a dish. The butter and milk curry miso I had never heard of before, but now I want one! Was that the only place they have them?
The ramen world is insanely diverse and it only gets more and more diverse every year! There used to be a place in Tokyo that had this style...but they're gone. There are some places that do curry ramen and even curry miso ramen...but for all three I think you have to go up to Aomori!
Haha you worked hard on that first bowl. Looked tasty but I would have gone lighter on the spice as well. So I guess you finally went through all ramen places in Tokyo now ;)
Haha, indeed...that first bowl was tough. I'm sure some people get "full" spice level there too. In Tokyo I still have so many places to visit! And if you include the whole Metro area (Chiba, Saitama, Kanagawa)...we're getting in the hundreds! Gonna make some videos about these places too.
Looks like curry is a bit of change to try for.. cheers
For sure - you have some curry ramen but not that much. That bowl was a lot of fun!
Oh yummy! I'd have to pass on that first one lol but the Miso Curry Milk YUM!! I'd love to try that one!
Seems to be the winner for everyone commenting (curry miso milk). Was a lot of fun. That first one definitely is definitely spicy even at the lower levels...😅
@@5AMRamen lol you could SO see the burn on your face. I SO felt for ya, but I gotta admit there was some laughter. I see my kiddo and Husband do the same thing with the 2x hotter Korean noodles lol
Haha, that sums it up, I was almost laughing while eating it myself. Quite the predicament. But I think just like your kid and husband, we know what we're getting ourselves into and also enjoy it!
@@5AMRamen lol most definitely! Have a wonderful rest of the week!
I gotta try making that milk ramen, looks interesting.
Pretty simple (relatively)! Just quality miso, milk and curry powder 😊
What a fantastic journey!
Thanks for coming along the journey with me!
@@5AMRamen Hope to visit Japan next year for the first time. Ramen will be in top todo list))
“Preview of suffering” hahahahha 😆
Haha 😅
I think I'd go for the curry miso milk ramen. That looked interesting to me. Followed by that heavy fish ramen.
Great choices and nice contrast between those 2 as well.
Hi Frank, eggs are not usually served there or you can get them extra? Just love it!! Thanks again for showing the scenario!!
Normally have to add it (the egg, or "ajitama")! The basic ramen didn't include it. Thanks, had a lot of fun making this video too 😊
I like those wavy noodles in the first and last bowl. Not good with the spice, so I'd go for the miso curry milk ramen. But can I get some negi? 😋
Best of both worlds 😊. Top up the miso curry milk ramen wirh the big chunks from first place.
hey new subscriber
found you at best ever food review show, i love ramen! curious tho,
how are u so fluent while growing up in japan?
*fluent in english
Thanks for subbing and awesome to hear you love ramen! I'm Filipino-American, so I grew up speaking English at home and went to an international school here in Tokyo, using English there as well.
thank you for having the time to respond to my query
and im happy to hear that you're a fellow filipino!
(notification bell on!)😁
"living in japan and eating ramen for a living"
gotta say youre living the dream!
looking forward to hear more from you!
keep up the good work!!!
showcase those mouth watering noodles and teach us how to slurp! 😁

@@pginaeemidris2069 Thanks for turning notifications on too! 🇵🇭🇵🇭 Absolutely - I'm very much living the ramen dream and am so fortunate as such. Will keep the ramen videos coming, complete with slurping (and slurping instructions in a future video) 😃
I'd Probably Get The Heavy Niboshi And Spicy Negi But 1/4 Spice... But They All Looked Good...
Nice choices! 1/4 is a smarter move too 😀
hope you got the chance to see Aomori castle? i wanted to see the nebuta museum but didn't have time on my daytrip from tokyo!
I did visit the castle! Saw the Nebuta Museum as well - hopefully you'll have a chance to go back and swing by. I liked it.
@@5AMRamen i was underwhelmed by the castle (size). It was so small!
As odd as it may be, the third bowl is for me :D
Odd also means fun 😊
To be honest (I was going to say Frankly) I like the idea of all the bowls but maybe less spiciness in the negi bowl ❤️😃
Please always do be Frank 😄. All bowls were definitely awesome in their own way...right - the negi bowl would have been different if I was able to feel my face afterwards 😅. Maybe 1/4 is the way to go.
Can I throw an idea - for first timer in Tokyo and Kyoto.. what would be the top 5 or 10 must try..
Would you cross over to udon/soba 😂
A top 5 or even top 10 list is tough, as there are so many great bowls in greater Tokyo and Kyoto! I'm gonna do a top 5 Tokyo duck ramen shop video in the future and plan to do a top 10-15 new Tokyo ramen shop vid too. Always open to ideas! I'll stick to ramen but do love udon and soba once in a while 😅
You should do more sit down whilst your at the restaurant and talk about the food etc. check out Mikey Chen. Awesome videos though, keep it up!
I do the sit down / describing in some videos, like this one...feel free to have a watch:
ua-cam.com/video/ts-ZNVXpEQk/v-deo.html
It's possible when I have a relationship with the ramen shop or it simply isn't crowded. For the most part tho, Japanese ramen etiquette means quickly eating and getting out - so it's a little bit tricky 😃. Mikey Chen is a superstar - would love to do a collab with him. Thanks for watching and will keep the vids coming!
@@5AMRamenFair enough, i will certainly check out more of your videos. thanks for your reply...you and mikey chen doing a collab would be amazing, your understanding of food vs his knowing of of where to go and travel experience, amazing!
@@UnfoundTravel A good chunk of the videos have me doing that (also the "at home" ramen videos) - do feel free to watch! Would love to do a collab with Mikey Chen in the future...hopefully after this whole situation is over!
Curry miso ramen! Did they actually put milk in there?
Yes! Actual splash of milk with the miso and curry powder
HOW TO BE YOU.
😊
