Yes ramen!!! There are a lot of ramen videos out there but this place is well known in Matsumoto. The dining area is very small and the atmosphere is very small town. Located just outside the main city in a small neighborhood, it has a very cozy appeal. Locals wait in line up to a half hour to grab a seat and get to business eating selections of ramen and soba from a small menu. The atmosphere reminds me of an old Kurosawa movie. You take whatever seat becomes available and your party may be split up sharing a table with strangers. The point here is to eat your famouse ramen and make way for the next customer. Not time for chatting after the meal ... pay the bill and make room. This is not a problem because its a privilage to get a taste of the home cooking before they run out of noodles. It opens for lunch early and usually runs out around noon. I focused on the most popular ramen dish, pork, bamboo, naruto, and a dark broth with noodles. The noodles are made on site every day!! The place is called Miyama Shokudo and the locals know it well.

  • Omg I want to go to this Ramen Shop.

    I am hungry now lol.

    Going to make top ramen.

  • Top Ramen! I almost forgot about it! Cheers and slurp it loud!

  • We watched that movie "Ramen Girl" that recently came out on DVD. Made us wish we were back in Tokyo ordering ramen, and then you have a vlog about it. Nice bowl by the way. Spot-on Todd.

    How was the Boston trip by the way?

  • The Boston trip was "o.k." My head was still in Japan wile I was there. Just got into the grove here and then went home. Reverse culture shock at its best but I wanted to visit some close relatives to ease my mind. I am very glad to be back in Japan.

  • What does the naruto kamaboko taste like? I know it's a teamed fish or some like that. But it always helps to know what I'm in for. OH! I 'm making curry tonight for the first time!

  • Its a fish paste like a very firm gelitan. Not so much a fish taste as much as what ever spice is used.

  • It's just a simple observation, but you still eat ramen like an American on a visit to Japan. Let go of all your inhibitions and SLURRRRRP!!!

    Dammit, get your face in there!!
