Infinite Athletics I think I’m special I never want to stop eating and I think the food at my schools food has added sugar fats and all that I gained 5 kilos 1 week only eating what they gave me plus dinner definitely not healthy
If you notice the old man in the label and photo, his name is Kazuo Yamagishi. He is THE inventor of the dipping noodle and a very respectable person in Japan. Sad that he died in 2015.
Yamagishi san is a legend but didn’t invent tsukemen. They served at various Taishokens for years as a staff meal, he’s just the first to put it on the menu.
@@thomashauk52 He own the the restaurant and "invented" tsukemen but not as food item on the menus. He and his staffs just use all the left over noodle and soup ( that was very concentrate since it was boil for a whole day) at the end of the day for supper. Eventually customer that come late at night saw that and ask that could they serve it to them. That's how Tsukemen start it journey on the Menus.
etatoby not true... buying tickets is just like buying any material possessions. TV are cheap around holiday season and superbowl. well there are cheap tickets to Tokyo during the right time. you can find tickets under $500.
ziljin Oh geez, real ramen is packed with layers of flavor, is deep and rich, and most importantly, the noodles aren't mushy. If I eat instant ramen I doctor it up sooooo much it takes almost as long as if I just drove to a shop to order the real deal.
ziljin trust me, it's night and day. first time I went to tokyo, had Tsukemen style ramen (dipping ramen) at a place called jiragen. blew my mind away. like Mike, I ordered another bowl
Honestly Mike im a foodie myself and watch alot of others food channels etc.. but you make me hungry every time. I always order/cook the same food your eating and evaluating and play the video and watch makes it feel like your sitting across the table from me. All the best for the new year
This is the first video I ever see of yours and I just gotta say wow that ramen looks amazing... and you expressed your love for food, in a way that made it sound like the voices in my head when I love something I eat.
kobzster06 asian crazy rocket high metabolism, I eat even more than him and I never work out, and my parents still criticizing me for being too skinny lol
I believe you, when I was in Chengdu China, I saw some of the skinniest, most anorexic looking young people ever and they routinely eat some of the oiliest cuisines that I have ever experienced. Yeah, a high metabolism has to be in there somewhere
Yeah its in their genes, they are all naturally slimmer in china and they do not exercise at all. I watched a documentary about that a while back. Lucky bastards haha
Darn it! It's 3am and now I want ramen :( Guess I know what's for dinner tomorrow at least! Gonna make me a huge bowl of ramen with mushroom, spring onion and egg in the broth, maybe some chicken as well
My favorite is Tonkotsu ramen, also called Hakata ramen. It is made with pork bones that are cooked for many hours (sometimes 60 hours or more!) to create the broth. If you have never had the real thing before, you should definitely try it while you are in Japan!
If you like tonkotsu, you should go to the next level and try iekei style. Iekei is pretty much tonkotsu on steroid. Pork bones and bone marrows are cooked for hours, until it has a thick, almost gelatinous broth. The pork flavour is so intense, you can't really drink the soup. It's better if you order a side of rice and dunk it into the broth to finish the soup.
I just subscribed to your UA-cam! I have been following Yuka Kinoshita for almost two years and was looking for a new UA-camr who shows the same bliss for food I have. This particular video AWESOME! I am a ramen fanatic and am so jealous!!!
This is what I want to do for a living, it is my dream! One day I'll make it to Japan and i will definitely use these videos as a reference to where I need to eat. You are awesome thank you!
I keep on watching your videos about ramen like every single night because I am one sucker for ramen, I ate ramen here in the Phils like every week since it's a little pricey! That is my dream come true to go to Japan and just eat my heart out on all their ramen!! Ahhhh
I hate dipping noodles tbh, not because of the taste, it tastes good but having to dip my noodles in the soup is a pain, i want the noodles and ingrediants already in the broth when it gets to me
Yep, and for people who are not comfortable with chopstick like me, it's not a good experience, all the good taste was just shadowed but my clumsiness of using chopstick. And when I asked for a fork they look a bit offended. I mean, I cant help it.
Tet Noodles sitting in broth for too long can make both components taste strange. The firm noodle will turn itself into a soggy mess if you don’t eat it fast enough and the broth gets diluted. Dipping noodles solves both problem by making them separate/
@@ChauNyan Dipping noodles also tend to have a concentrated version of the broth that tends to bee a bit too salty to drink but makes the bite of noodles taste more flavorful than soup noodle.
I saw that same show on Netflix and since then the only thing on my bucket list is to go to Japan and eat that ramen. @Strictly Dumpling Thank you so much for sharing. Now I want to go even more 😋
when he moved against the wall i noticed that it was just him, those ramen noodles and the camera. i felt a bit sorry, like dude, i would totally travel with you to eat that food. i mean, all my friends are my food buddies, so if you are into food, you are my buddie!
Oh wow. I can’t believe that someone out there felt the same way when I saw that episode. And now... Saw you in the same place and experiencing that bowl of awesomeness. And in July, I would be in that place. Wow!!!! Crazy! Thank you for sharing your experience, Mike. Keep on eating.
Trish Rodman ROFL, so funny! But hot oil is still food related so I'd say is something else. He talks a lot about China and travels so that's my guess.
mike's love towards food is such a beautiful thing
Sabrina Rapacz ...it's not love...it's hardcore addiction
Raj Jb ...everlasting?
I find it kind of sexy.... is that completely weird?!? 😂🙄
Depends... 😈
Sabrina Rapacz its the same like my love toward boobies
😂
Who else is. Obsessed with ramen noodle because of him
I know i am thanks to mike
Julie Palacios Mike is a nice dude, but I’ve been obsessed with ramen for a long time.
I was shaped by ramen molded by it
I was obsessed with ramen before I found mike....now I’m more obsessed 😂😂
I love ramen because of Naruto
This man is sooo passionate about his food. It's rather refreshing!
good joke
I already ate, but after watching this video I think I’m ready to eat again.
Infinite Athletics same

"I'm telling you guys, I could go for round 2" *whips out another bowl* "which I did!" Lol
Just watched that part while seeing this comment, just made me laugh
Meme lol same
im here wondering how is not 500 pounds by now
chinese metabolism heh. (just going by what he said in another video)
If you notice the old man in the label and photo, his name is Kazuo Yamagishi. He is THE inventor of the dipping noodle and a very respectable person in Japan. Sad that he died in 2015.
Kinda odd he died on April first,but respect to the man
@@randomidiot7273 i know this is messed up but he could come back to life and say "APRIL FOOLS!!!" that would be creepy

I remember seeing that same show on Netflix!
Wow I'm not the only one who still watches Mike
@@oliverford7243 same thing
I have seriously never seen an Asian that can eat like this. He eats like a Saiyan from Dragonball Z lol.
"99% of the things I fantasize are about food." Same here Mike, same here. 😁
And here I am, watching this video while eating oranges... i_i
Duck_Vader I'm eating homemade pork roast bun lol
Duck_Vader I'm having a nice glass of air
Duck_Vader and I just ate a bowl of chilli while craving ramen
eggs on toast with bacon and tomatos on the side for me
Grinnz marius nice i would eat it lol
In Tokyo for 2 weeks. This has been on my go to list when you uploaded it and I visited Tokyo again. I'm excited!!
I'm now a new subscriber of yours
his face somehow resembles a bit like Jackie Chan or is it just me?
Yeah kinda. Not a bad thing tho😅
A cross between Jackie Chan and Mr. Chow
All ya'll look alike
Ivan Wirawan thats racist
The first i think when i watch he’s videos
Same eyes and nose.
dreams do come true, if you have money..
iluvboobies94
ramen is fairly cheap in Japan. you can get filling bowls for $5 (us currency)
Yeah, but air tickets ain't cheap
etatoby
not true... buying tickets is just like buying any material possessions. TV are cheap around holiday season and superbowl. well there are cheap tickets to Tokyo during the right time. you can find tickets under $500.
beth g. unemployment is high af where I am. it is a struggle
beth g. Maybe about you?
Love your passion for food Mike........
mr nakamatz how did that escalate so fast
Guy Mooglie Then find a JoeysWorldTour somewhere on UA-cam. He LOVES food.
I'm so glad you did this! I saw the Netflix episode and wanted to see a more hands-on experience. Gr8 video
“For me, 99% of what I fantasize about is food” lol so me.
I have yet to eat real ramen. just the instant ones. how do they compare?
ziljin Day and night. Now go eat! :D
ziljin Oh geez, real ramen is packed with layers of flavor, is deep and rich, and most importantly, the noodles aren't mushy. If I eat instant ramen I doctor it up sooooo much it takes almost as long as if I just drove to a shop to order the real deal.
You pretty much won't have "real ramen" unless you go to Japan. I've went before and it seriously does not compare to anything....
ziljin
trust me, it's night and day. first time I went to tokyo, had Tsukemen style ramen (dipping ramen) at a place called jiragen. blew my mind away. like Mike, I ordered another bowl
ziljin it's like comparing homemade spaghetti to canned spaghetti. Fresh ramen is amazing.
4:20 ANYONE ELSE WATCH THIS PART TWICE TO SEE IF HE BUMPED HIS HEAD ON THE WALL? HAHAHAHA
Allyson Gail 420 blaze it.
Allyson Gail I watched it over and over and didn't see it. Maybe his shadow looks like he hit the wall.
Uh no he didn't

I wish I could travel as much as you are and try all these delicious foods :D one day!
damn I just microwaved my cup a noodle.
Mantis it's "Cup Noodles" not "cup a noodle".
Mantis just Google the name then, and get back to me if your so sure.
Devin Cruz yea pretty sick of these Google educated people.
I'm sure what he ate in this video is better :P Enjoy your noodles (although it's already 7 months later)
Star Jessica lol 😂
I have never seen a man so excited about noodles and honestly I’m living for it
The passion with which you look at those noodles makes me love you. Liked.
"99% of what I fantasize is about food"
You're cheating on food 1% of the time!
My favorite is Tonkotsu ramen, also called Hakata ramen. It is made with pork bones that are cooked for many hours (sometimes 60 hours or more!) to create the broth. If you have never had the real thing before, you should definitely try it while you are in Japan!

This is such a funny, great video lol - ramen lover heaven!!!
I love how you talk about food, it's how I think about food: real love 😍😍
I love how he just bumps his shoulder on the wall after he took a bite every time😂👌
The first strictly dumpling video I ever saw almost 3 years ago.
You make me hungry Mike. You make good food videos. Thank you. More success for you.
Love this video and now it’s on my bucket list
I love Ramen, it's so delicious and I eat it all the time, I had 4 Bowls Yesterday
GuessWhatIHackIoGames no I’m hungry :(
I definitely feel a connection to those noodles through my screan.
Don't forget to cleen your screan.

Mike again: Now that's a lot of noodles!
Jackie Chan's son was watching mind of a chef.

Sometimes I feel like Mike could be my soul mate lol. Sorry to my husband 😅
Randa Wikoff ...you're husband is my soul mate...don't worry we'll never meet 🙏
If he was a girl, I'd say the same thing. Sorry to my wife.

@Strictly Dumpling Thank you so much for sharing. Now I want to go even more 😋
at first glance, I thought the chefs in the Ramen shop had casts on their necks! lol
when he moved against the wall i noticed that it was just him, those ramen noodles and the camera. i felt a bit sorry, like dude, i would totally travel with you to eat that food. i mean, all my friends are my food buddies, so if you are into food, you are my buddie!
Digmer rlly?
Digmer seriously though, right?! Feed me. So much delicious looking food.

THATS IT IM DONE!
I'm tired of the shitty ramen in packages, i need to learn how to make real ramen noodle. the ones in your videos look so amazing :(
Melina Reed try koka noodles especially chicken n seafood flavor. OMG it's yum. u can find it online
ThatIndianGirl It sounds delicious!
Totally dig the channel(s) dude keep up the great content. I'm going to Japan in September, any tips?
I'm so happy for this dude nice video
The sesame hot oil is the best. Goes the best with Gyoza..
Tsukemen ---that's pretty much what I would have ordered too ;) Well, maybe not the XL...
Oh wow. I can’t believe that someone out there felt the same way when I saw that episode. And now... Saw you in the same place and experiencing that bowl of awesomeness. And in July, I would be in that place. Wow!!!! Crazy!
Thank you for sharing your experience, Mike. Keep on eating.
Love your shirt! Love from Vancouver ❤️
I freaking LOVE NOODLES.... YOU LUCKY LOL
Mike you should think about, buying a bigger shirt.
Mike, don't listen to this person. We fully appreciate your fanserv-- I mean, your style.
Nope - don't modify your wardrobe! We love it just as it is :-)
Antoine Dawnson I love Mike so much, but I agree. It's looking a bit tight and uncomfortable around the shoulders/arm pits.
Antoine Dawnson 😂😂😂😂😂😂👌🏾
The girls need something to ogle at.
Been to Japan three times and I still fall in love with the food there!
You really know how to live Mike. I am inspired.
dang at 3:08 that dude in the back like wut you doing
4:27 What about the remaining 1%?
typoprone hot oil
um, girls?
Trish Rodman lol of course!!!
Trish Rodman
ROFL, so funny!
But hot oil is still food related so I'd say is something else. He talks a lot about China and travels so that's my guess.
Sedona, AZ.
You are so great! I like how you describe the food that you eat. Now I want to fly to Japan just for the ramen specially the Ichiran ramen
hahahahahaha ur emotions are real...everytime u bounce against the wall...I have had a winter marathon on Mike Chen. Crazy
