I think that spectacular egg might be the deciding factor in me favouring the shoyu ramen over the shio on this occasion! Asakusa goes on the 'must visit' list for Tokyo, for sure... It's going to be a long list 😁
@@MrLGDUK Although most will choose one or the other (shoyu with the egg or shio with the ume), you could add the big egg to the shio too! Asakusa is a great Tokyo neighborhood...they march to a different beat 😃
You got that right nothing like going to the older part of town getting some amazing Ramen. I feel the need to try out AUN I'm have a longtime tantanmen addiction
Aun will definitely help scratch that tantanmen itch you have 😊. I think this Winter I'll be having a lot more tantanmen! And yes, Asakusa is a great neighborhood!
Ramen looks wonderful. I have been to Japan five times and lived there for three years, but Asakusa was the first time I ever had the no gaijin treatment. They were not militant about it, but certainly had zero desire to have me there. The neighborhood is really impressive though. First time I ever had Fugu was there too. It was terrible.
You're a Japan veteran! I totally get it and can relate - Asakusa can be strange like that. While it has that old town charm, people in Asakusa never leave Asakusa and are fiercely proud of Asakusa, to the point where they're territorial. Contrast that with other areas...in Shibuya, no one is actually from Shibuya 😅. At Yoroiya (the featured ramen shop), you won't have any of that - they are proud Asakusans but are wonderful.
I believe the breeders delay the first yolk in the oviduct and while this happens the next yolk comes out, creating two. Then the shell is formed. I don't always eat gyoza / dumplings with my ramen, but definitely a must eat there 😃
As far as I know, the breeders somehow delay the first yolk in the oviduct and this leads to the hen to "doubling up" when the next yolk comes in. The zaru ramen is excellent!
@@martenlundin I'm sure! I miss travel so much myself...sitting outside a cafe in a city like Budapest, sipping coffee and watching people walk by. Can't wait for the world to return back to normal...
Good morning Frank. I'll take one of each, please!! lol wow, they both looked so good. I'd eat them both, but if I had to choose just one, I'd go with the double yolk! Drooling over here! lol
I only got to try dipping ramen once when I was in Japan and it was mind blowingly delicious. It was in Nara from a shop called Genkishin. 26, Higashimuki Minamimachi, Nara, 630-8216, Japan If you are ever in Nara please review it.
Zaru ramen for sure! I am so confused - what is the difference between zaru ramen and tsukemen? Base of the broth? (I feel very stupid asking this question, but I need to know!!)
Great question - not a stupid one at all!! They're essentially the same, in that they're both dipping ramen. But..."zaru ramen", "tsuke soba" - when ramen shops use these terms they're normally serving an older style of tsukemen, just like in the video. Modern "tsukemen" (after the early 2000s) on the other hand is normally quite thick and rich!
Woah! Never seen Yuzu being used in ramen like that before, does the sweetness overpower anything? Or is it more citrus lemon flavor to cut through some of the salt? That's awesome
I think slurping quickly and in a straight line (as much as possible) helps. Perhaps also keeping your head close to the bowl too. But a lot of ramen shops actually offer big bibs for customers! This is the biggest help 😅
This guy is so underrated. He needs more views and subs. Great job man! Wish I could be there with ya!
When travel has resumed, all the ramen will waiting for you 😊. In the meantime, all the best and much appreciated - it keeps me going!
Zaru and double tamago...so amazed at how many different ramen styles there are. You are a true RAMEN SOMMELIER
So many different styles - it's endless! Haha, I'm trying to be one 😃
Let me know what you think of that dinosaur-sized DOUBLE yolk egg!
I think that spectacular egg might be the deciding factor in me favouring the shoyu ramen over the shio on this occasion! Asakusa goes on the 'must visit' list for Tokyo, for sure... It's going to be a long list 😁
Yummy double yolk. 😋😋😋
@@MrLGDUK Although most will choose one or the other (shoyu with the egg or shio with the ume), you could add the big egg to the shio too! Asakusa is a great Tokyo neighborhood...they march to a different beat 😃
@@5AMRamen Perfect! I just have to learn how to ask for that in Japanese 😅
That egg looks so good,the entire bowl looks delicious so that’s the one for me 😀
The zaru ramen with the arare sounds amazing - would love to try that.
Great dish - every single one is here 😃
Looks delicious!!! Can't wait to visit this place. Thx for another great video!
A legendary ramen shop! Thanks for watching 😃
The dubbel egg ramen 🍜 looks yummey
DOUBLE YOLK *POWERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR*
Could feel the POOOOOWWWEERRR after that 🥚
Oh Yeah! That looks good.I want both. I´m waiting for the duck
I'm gonna do a Top 5 Duck Ramen Shops in Tokyo video in the future!

I want to have the double yolk and also some gyoza with my ramen. Sounds delicious
A match made in heaven, that combo!
Every bowl in this episode looks so delicious! I like the addition of Arare, and Umeboshi.
Indeed - all great. The shoyu ramen is still my favorite though 😊. Yes, the arare and umeboshi are nice touches.
zaru ramen with a double order gyoza 👊👊
Good on ya! Just 3 gyoza isn't enough 👍

Man they all look great! I’ll have to come visit once we’re allowed back into Japan. 🙏 Thanks for the review!
Thanks for watching! There you go - all the ramen are fantastic 😃. Japan will be waiting for you once travel has resumed.
I wanna try that shio ramen, with the umeboshi in the middle. I am craving a pure bone broth with a simple salt seasoning.
The shio ramen has got your name on it! With that pure and clean seasoning that ume plum really pops out too.
That double egg ramen would definitely be my pick!! Thanks for another great video!! 😊
Thanks for watching! That is their most popular rwmen for good reason 😊
Oh, man. That looks so good! How do they make eggs with 2 yolks? I like that you highlighted another special dish they do (dumplings).
I believe the breeders delay the first yolk in the oviduct and while this happens the next yolk comes out, creating two. Then the shell is formed.
I don't always eat gyoza / dumplings with my ramen, but definitely a must eat there 😃
How is the double egg made? The zaru with croutons looks really good.
As far as I know, the breeders somehow delay the first yolk in the oviduct and this leads to the hen to "doubling up" when the next yolk comes in. The zaru ramen is excellent!
oooh duck ramen - hello!!
Gonna do a video on best duck ramen shops in Tokyo in the near future 😊
@@5AMRamen Yes please. I can’t wait to be back.
@@martenlundin I'm sure! I miss travel so much myself...sitting outside a cafe in a city like Budapest, sipping coffee and watching people walk by. Can't wait for the world to return back to normal...
🤤🤤🤤
i mean cant eat anything with pork in it but still....
the camera work and how it was.showcased was just 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Frank showed some halal friendly ramen in a video not long ago. Have you seen that one?
@@sergeigen1 thank you dude! will check it out soon!

Aweome you got to have some while here! I haven't been to Genkishin in Nara. Have added it to the list and will review when I go in a video 😊

@@5AMRamenoh, ok! thank you!! :) I love when you explain the ramen machines (how to order), those are extremely helpful, please continue doing those!
what’s the secret behind the double yolk 👀
From my understanding, the breeders delay one yolk in the oviduct and this leads the hen to "double up" when the next yolk comes in.
Woah! Never seen Yuzu being used in ramen like that before, does the sweetness overpower anything? Or is it more citrus lemon flavor to cut through some of the salt? That's awesome
With the amount of yuzu citrus on top, it's just right 👍 It's cutting through the salt / the richness on the soup, just as you mentioned!
How do they achieve the double yolk?
Did they marinate the Yuzu topping?
They come from a special breed of chickens from Iwate prefecture here. Not sure how exactly they bred them to achieve this.
The yuzu itself? Usually yuzu is left by itself so that shining citrus flavor can shine through.
@@5AMRamen thanks for answering my questions buddy! 🤙🏾
Is there a secret into a good slurping of noodles, but not making a mess of your clothes when slurping?
I think slurping quickly and in a straight line (as much as possible) helps. Perhaps also keeping your head close to the bowl too. But a lot of ramen shops actually offer big bibs for customers! This is the biggest help 😅
@@5AMRamen Yep. I've started tying a very large napkin around my neck when I eat noodles at home.
Has the price gone up since your last review?
They might have raised the prices, like others in Tokyo.
Please please please do a special on that black sesame tantanmen
I should do a proper tantanmen episode, including that one! Please standby 😊
