    The Sano and Wakayama bowls call out to me. Also, thank you for your bodily sacrifice. That's a lot of ramen in one sitting. XD

      Excellent choices, my top 2 as well 😀. Haha, making the the sacrifice with a smile on my face.

    Another stellar job!! Do you ever wonder if pork back fat got ranked higher because of it’s fatty richer broth which made it stand out from the rest? I guess a generous, well flavored chashu and plentiful negi and fresh bamboo shoots make the impact too! I was thinking that aside from the nap, you would b thirsty from all that salt intake!!! Great job!!

    • @5AMRamen
      @5AMRamen  4 роки тому +1

      Great points - ingredients like pork back fat or lard are a sure fire way to create rich flavor...and with the Kyoto bowl, this might have been a factor in the ranking. Sometimes I have to ask myself, why am I enjoying this bowl? Is it a flavor easy to understand, like pork back fat? In the end, I think went in the opposite direction - choosing perhaps the more carefully crafted, delicate ramen (Sano). They're all awesome of course! Drank a lot of water after too 😊.

    Sano Ramen! Light broth yet very flavorful😊 Whenever I go to Tochigi I make sure to have a bowl of it!

    • @5AMRamen
      @5AMRamen  4 роки тому

      That's awesome you've had the real deal up in Tochigi! Hoping to travel there again when it's OK to do so...and Sano Ramen will be first on the to do list 😊

      Haven't given him a name yet - probably should be ramen related 😅. That Sano one was an instant ramen game changer!

  • @carrerlluna66

    I also would go for the Sano, noodles are the most important ingredient for me.

      Noodles are critical! The Sano ramen was soooo good...makes me want to travel to Sano.

    I love a good tonkatsu-shoyu broth although the chashu disappeared! Would love to try any of them here as getting restaurant quality instant ramen is very difficult in the UK (extremely expensive to import).

    • @5AMRamen
      @5AMRamen  4 роки тому

      I need a fishing line for the next Instant Ramen vid (to retrieve any lost chashu) 😂. Hopefully in the future, that won't be the case - quality instant ramen over there and without a crazy markup!

  • @tamara4557
    @tamara4557 4 роки тому

    I like the onion in Hachioji style ramen but I think it's a bit to lardy. Still worth trying. The sano ramen looks the best broth wise as well as the toppings so of these all the Sano one would top my list, but for me the more negi the better hahaha. The kyoto version had so much negi so I would try that one as well.

    • @5AMRamen
      @5AMRamen  4 роки тому

      Maybe a Sano-Kyoto hybrid would be perfect. Awesome broth, perfect noodles, and a ridiculous amount of negi 😁. Hachioji was excellent too - lardy but manageable!

  • @exploreaswego

    Frank is the best! Lard is a little off putting when you talk about it, but I'm sure it tastes great! For round 2 do they ship the lake water :)??? HAHA. Random question though... Do you make all your own graphics? They are all so lovely :) STOP USING me for comparison means it is your FAVORITE! I'm sure you have mentioned this, but would you rather eat 5AM ramen in shop or instant? OMG BONUS RAMEN! LOVE that you still have space after 4!!!! The Square and Circle Chasu freak me out. I like the organic shape. We both like the same one! It's all about the pork!!! We watched the whole video

    • @5AMRamen
      @5AMRamen  4 роки тому

      I know what you mean about the lard - but yes, that richness that it brings is hard to beat 😊. Haha, I wish they shipped the lake water for the instant version. For graphics, I went on Envato (those packets they have). Great question - I think before I would have rather had ramen outside at 5 AM...but now, instant ramen at home (not just with the current situation), is what I'd rather enjoy. How about both of you?

    Why does Frank look ORANGE in this video compared to his other videos?
    Did he do something different with the lighting when he recorded this?
    Or did he get out and just got a bit Tan after being Quarantined? LOL!
