Today I'm talking about RAMEN โ the dish that changes your life in Japan.
Ramen is the most consumed dish in Japan. A broth simmered through the night. Springy noodles. A creamy soft-boiled egg. Melt-in-your-mouth meat. Every detail is intentional. Nothing is there by accident.
It's not *one* ramen โ it's *many* ramens. Every region of Japan has its own soul: rich miso in Sapporo ๐ก, delicate soy in Tokyo ๐ค, creamy tonkotsu in Fukuoka ๐ค.
In Japan, ramen is eaten in silence, face to face with your bowl, like a meditation. ๐ง Slurping your noodles loudly? That's a compliment to the chef. ๐
If you've never tried a real ramenโฆ you have a wonderful discovery ahead of you. โจ
Not the supermarket packet ๐ โ a real one, in a good Japanese restaurant.
๐ฌ If you know ramen โ where was it? What was it?
