Tokyo Swan 3: Ramen Museum

[smashingpandora]

I have to say I'm a fan of the bottom floors as well, and I'm totally down with the Ramen Museum. You've made my girlfriend and I want to visit there, and.... maybe we'll go make some ramen now!

[maestrucarnita]

[tokyojamez]

It was really cool how they seemed to fit a whole village in the muesum, how great would it be to work there (all the free Ramen you could wish for, thats my dream!!)

[japanandtheworld]

Another great video! I'm watching all of them!

[BlkUnk]

Ramen seems to symbolies all that was great about post war Nippon.... Rodge im pretty sure that was a wrestling match...0_o..

[TiramisuHappy]

There's a ton of nostalgia attached to the whole ramen culture in Japan. There was a time when ramen was more commonly known as "shina soba" meaning, "Chinese noodles" denoting its place of origin. There also used to be "ramen vendors" making their rounds in many neighborhoods at night pulling a cart and selling the noodles and soup by the bowl. They were a usual sight when I was a little boy growing up in Tokyo some 30+ years ago. I can still smell the hot ramen soup wafing from the cart..

heh heh!! nice theme song

[starorb]

was there any beef or chicken ramen just in case if there were people who cant eat pork o.o?

[fulcilover]

So this is the episode where you first use that catchy theme tune?

[rodgerswan]

yes indeed, this was the first episode with the theme song music!

[m3mor1]

[PannaLogic]

I'm so going. I hope you'll be back from US when I visit ;p

[balliditz]

[planetsound2004]

wow your really showing parts of japan i've never seen before awesome videos i'm learning of alot of things i should do :)

[HBSnaruto20]

Oh god ramen yummmmmmmm

[sdurameshi19]

Thanks for the vid. Looks like a good place to check out.

[conanfan1412]

I think it would've been funny if they were to ever put up a statue of Ramenman from Kinnikuman, I know he's Chinese but that is where ramen came from.

Also, funny part when you mentioned Moguera from The Mysterians.

[gregsdaone]

Man, them people love their food huh?

[gregsdaone]

Whats the Ramen photo booth for? Oh yeah, to take a picture of your noodle! Cooney told me that have a magazine and its all about Ramen!

[klumzypinoy]

Cool video :D thanks for the tour

[nunnu3000]

hello tokyo swan i just startes to watch your video's and i must say the are pretty good,well not like tokyo cooney's but really good.I have a question about your classes,are you in school learning japanese only?pls respond

[rodgerswan]

yeah i'm in school here learning just japanese, that's all i did last semester, although this coming one i might have a few cultural classes taught in english as well.

thanks for the kind words on the video. TokyoCooney is obviously a big influence of mine, so if my videos were half as good I'd be happy. These early ones seem like my baby pictures, they do get much better haha.

[the6thmonkey]

Anything with Ramen 3/5 automatically. +2 for your video tour thing.

5/5. ( good at math huh).

[gotokiyo00]

That basement was a recreation of the ramen cultre of Japan during the Showa Era. It's very nostalgic for many Japanese who have fond memories of that era. The wrestling match and movie poster were just there to add to the atmosphere.

[knivesc]

Great videos, keep them going swan :)

What are your classes like? for how long each day etc, maybe a video about one sometime!

Thanks for the add.

[rodgerswan]

Ahh yeah, I will probably do a video like that sometime. Let's see, the japanese classes here are much faster compared to the ones back home. About 4 and half hours a day, 5 days a week, and there's a load of homework. It's certainly demanding, but I'm sure will improve the japanese of anyone who strives to take them. Thanks for the comment and subscription!

[Merdiato]

That Ramen museum looks fun.

I really like these episodes.

But are you still making J-horror reviews?

[rodgerswan]

yeah haha, i don't have any plans for the next day or two, so i am going to get to work on those videos as well :)

[HysteriaPictures]

LMAO scary ramen guy jumping out! That's creepy.

[SamiSL]

This one was pretty short compared to the other two.

As much as I love ramen...that's a little bit too much ramen for me.

A raman disney world...that sounds very interesting.

You said boxing, but it looks more like wrestling to me.
