Travel: Tokyo Quest: Ramen 101 - nytimes.com/video

[kaisermuto]

When Europeans eat Japanese Ramen, they don't make slurp sound to eat. But then the ramen is getting cold or low temperature. Eating Ramen must be quick eating. Because high temperature and real nice taste can not separate each other. So the slurp eating is needed for

high temperature ramen. If you are big gourmet, you should eat Ramen with slurp sound. But it is not easy task for Europeans. You should train to eat slurp eating. But don't make noise too much. Observe eating Ramen of Japanese.

[TicTacToe0124]

by cheap, what do they mean? can any1 give me an average price in yen?

[MrPleoworld]

[KonvoyChief]

Did he say ramen is not healthy? Fresh ramen?

[D1g1Snacks]

@KonvoyChief I think he is referring to the soup which seems to be fattening. The jewels of fat in ramen seem to be very heavy compared to other types of noodles I've eaten, but I like it. My parents make Pho (Vietnamese noodles) and when the soup gets cold, I see a thick layer of fat that solidifies at the top. I can imagine it being even thicker in ramen noodles.

[inorganicgrain]

@KonvoyChief its not

[maochen2]

I AM CHINESE. The instant ramen and realy ramen is different thing. ramen is from china to spread ,chinese called lamian and because the japanese high gdp so make it very expansive ,but chinese lanzhou lamian is famous and delicious

[TicTacToe0124]

jews rock... str8 up

[papertiger7]

The white guy with glasses can't slurp lol

[Voodoofreak35]

Watching Japanese girls slurping Ramen turns me right on.

[Voodoofreak35]

No, Ramen in Tokyo is NOT CHEAP. LOL As much as I love it, you literally pay for a bowl of decent Ramen in Japan, not fast food Ramen, what you pay for a decent steak dinner back in America.

[skycaptain141]

i love how they showed Ken Watanabe

[xEmogirlzxX]

Nawww! Top Ramen is better

[isaycharlie]

[doublelloyd]

@odinzan You have to come to NYC (if you're not there already). Quite a few Ramen shops around.

[odinzan]

@doublelloyd cool

[xBlackRose94x]

@odinzan Try Chow Mein. It's in Wal-Mart, in the asian area I think XD Its FREAKING YUMMY. Better than the packaged. ! :D

[sxystar41]

@odinzan where do you live ? if you live in the urban areas..you can find somehwhere.

[tintmanus]

mmmmmm i gnnin 2 make me some right nowlol

[Nat4Brendan]

Why can't people just find another shop if the line is 2 hours long? :/

[odinzan]

@Nat4Brendan because if the line is that long the ramen must be worth waiting for

[LittoBUbbo]

[relmentop]

Anyone else hear the porn moan at 0:32?

[FirebirdMarcher]

[Angelicylime]

lol did the camera get foggy at the end?? :/

[kkbush]

i like Ajisen Ramen  in Canada

those are the best

[yanniskusogaki]

Well,true...ramen isn't healthy.At least most of it isn't.In terms of frequency it shouldn't be more than 2-3 times a week.And that goes for people with absolute confidence in their blood and heart condition.I have only had 2 bowls of "healthy" ramen in my life.One was in a less fatty simple white chiken soup topped with some of the thigh meat,green onion,half an egg,bamboo shoots and sesame.It cured my cold.The second one was purely fish and seafood,very rare.It rocked my world to it's core.

Ken Watanabe.

[TheGrandy123]

ca donne faim. il y en a sans porc?? Does it exist ramen without porc?? I tried a ramen restaurant in Paris next to Opera Garnier but none of them was without porc. Finally I ate something else which was delicious but not ramen. Snif snif!

[Jerrid3]

Well I would not say meat is bad for you if you eat it in proper quantities... it definitely should not be the main course, however. Even ramen or Pho noodles has meat in it, although I prefer the taste of chicken my self opposed to pork. And any one can use chopsticks, it does not matter what race you are. Just as any one can use a fork if they would like to or their fingers. And I thought ramen was healthy for you... hmmm... or is that just because of the different healthy ingredients with it?

[MassacrationApavora]

when i watch naruto , make me mind to go t ojapan to eat some ramen xD

[thisisnotyours1]

I love Japanses Ramen noodle soup!! what/where is the best Ramen place in Japan?

[ExoticHex]

damn, I'm hungry now.

[dryokoi]

2:46 Ken Watanabe

[Heartagramerz]

F this video

now its making me go get a bowl of Ramen....

[amazo88]

give me 1 of those!!

[brohmanski]

"schmaltz"?! oh please! i thought this was a video about Japanese Ramen...

[dr1pdr0pz]

Why the hate?

[KatiushaVN4]

Why don't those White people stick to their burgers?

[amazo88]

bcoz there r things in this world thats just better than burgers.

[KatiushaVN4]

@amazo88

Really? I find it very ridiculous for a White guy holding chopsticks to have bowl of noodle. They look more like it when holding a fork instead.

[amazo88]

@KatiushaVN4 we've already past that age.these days everybody can eat anything.

[nicksophile]

@KatiushaVN4

I love it when folks show interest in my culture...I can't understand this elitist reaction....but I can say that it's all too common.

[twee2010]

Brittany! :{

[automatedtrading9000]

If you're interested in learning more about the truth about it type in triple tragedy of meat eating on youtube or read Diet for a New America, by John Robbins. Note he's the son of the owners of Baskin Robbins even and even he believes in a non dairy, not meat based diet for health, and animal protection, etc.

[koolkillarz]

A jewish guy owns a ramen shop in tokyo? That's AWESOME!

[quant0cks]

@koolkillarz

don't jews own everything? not really surprising or awesome.

[KatiushaVN4]

@koolkillarz

Awesome my ass! That's a Wannabe

[Bemap30]

@koolkillarz hahaha even better, jewish guy eating pork fat

[KatiushaVN4]

@koolkillarz

Awesome my ass! 

[DeepBlueSkyy]

@koolkillarz jewish people are everywhere

[automatedtrading9000]

If people ate less meat in this country, there would be a lot less people dying from cancer; people are addicted to eating meat and most of it tastes terrible anyways. It's really annoying too like when you go into a gas station and you can't even buy anything without discusting meat.

[binibiningamelia]

what kind of food do you eat?

[circutracer150]

@automatedtrading9000 You do know the human body is purpose designed to eat meat right? And eating meat has ZERO to do with getting cancer of ANY kind. Who in the hell fed you that like of bullshit anyways?

[automatedtrading9000]

There is a very direct correlation between cancer and diets with high saturated fat. Look at countries like Denmark and the U.S. and similiar countries with a very high saturated fat diet, they have a much higher percentage of people getting cancer than countries that don't consume very much meat because they are too poor or otherwise. It's for health, the environment, and animal protection, I know most people aren't going to change but anyways.

[LiqwidNiTRO]

you realize that humans are designed to be herbivores right...where it the world are you to get adequate protein if not from meat? my friend is a vegetarian she looses her hair all the time it just isnt healthy....

If meat gives us cancer, than might as well say everything gives us cancer...sure seems like it nowadays...

[MrPleoworld]

@LiqwidNiTRO humans are designed to be omnivores

[LiqwidNiTRO]

@MrPleoworld Whoa, sorry simple typo thanks

[buland93]

@automatedtrading9000 Uh, it's because we're naturally omnivorous. You can't stop humans from eating meat all together just like you can't tell a Tiger to switch to vegetables because it'll reduce the risk of cancer. And, by the way, meat is essential for a balanced diet as it's the best means of gaining protein that helps build and repair muscle tissue. Plus, your distaste of meat shouldn't be generalised as taste varies depending on person to person.

[sonofmanchu]

My god, I want to go to Japan for this and it is my only reason to go t Japan.

[CJAEY]
