[MicknFumi]

@powerofsonic lol thanks mate...I took a lot of ramen video's in the last 5 weeks. So there'll be a lot more coming : )

[Mac1634]

Very interesting. Having to get tickets before going into the shop, I've never seen anything like that before... I would love to try a place like that. I live in America and there's a ramen and ishiyaki shop nearby, but I'm sure nothing beats the authenticity of actually being in Japan

[MicknFumi]

@Mac1634 Yes its pretty cool, some places have a touchscreen at your table to order meals. Let us know how the Japananese Ramen compares to the Us ones when you try the J ones : )

[APOKALYPSE34]

us men like it simple then women get the good stuff. Some time we need to listen to them cuz they know good stuff.

[MicknFumi]

haha wise words there my friend ; )

[riztar]

danny in ohio

[MicknFumi]

@ccr1965

haha sorry mate...better fill your stomach if your going to watch the next vid, its Yakitori time lol...cheers : )

[agentm83]

A complicated procedure to get the ramen! Looks good though.

[MicknFumi]

@agentm83

Not as diificult as it looks, Fumi had to muck around a little more at the start coz she had no change. Pretty much just press the button next to the picture that looks good, then put in the money. Get ticket, waitress hands you your preferences sheet to fill out, which is also available in English. You could just tick the middle (normal) all the way down if you were in a hurry. Its nice to have a choice though, rather than just how much salt & pepper your going to use.

[agentm83]

Interesting, are those types of places common? I went to Japan last Christmas for 2 weeks (Tokyo, Kyoto, and Hiroshima) and I don't remember going to any place like that.

[MicknFumi]

@agentm83

There's a few around, the place I had dinner with Kevin used one where there was a touchscreen LCD at your table to order your food. Reynoldsair has one in one of his vids...I wouldn't say they're common, but there are quite a few around...Your trip sounds cool mate, I'll be uploading some vids of Kyoto, its a great place : )

[BusanKevin]

That ramen looked really good!

How was that hangover prevention drink? Did it work?

[MicknFumi]

@BusanKevin

Was great mate...then again, I don't think I've ever had one that wasn't, unless I made it lol

No the hangover prevention drink didn't work well at all, I was was very atama ga itai the next day ; P

[MageThief]

oooh damn,, love ramen, miss it so much, Tried to make it home but it was not the same :S

[MicknFumi]

@MageThief

I know the feeling mate, so hard to even come close to the masters. Gyoza on the other hand, we do a pretty good : )

[MageThief]

Yeah gyoza is much easier to make them taste like the Japanese once, but to make them look is a whole different story ha ha

[MicknFumi]

@MageThief

lol your right there, we've just about mastered the rolling them up, but to cook without sticking & ripping the pastry is another story ; P

[birdlady44883]

I have never seen food bought that way in a restarunt. thanks for sharing. the food looks good.

[MicknFumi]

@birdlady44883

They have some very interesting ordering systems over there, its a real eye opener for most gaijin I think & yeah most of the food is very good, I just don't like those shellfish things : )

[PannaIka]

did that hangover cure work?

[MicknFumi]

@PannaIka

No not really, I think the Vitamin D & Lemon Vitamin water is the better way to go.

[axesent]

[MicknFumi]

@axesent

Cheers mate : )
