Japan's Ramen King | The Perfect Bowl...

[Music] north of Tokyo just a few hours by train almost as if hidden within the mountains there is a town called Takata on its surface it looks quite similar to many of Japan's rural towns with low-profile buildings set against a mountainous backdrop and fairly quiet city streets in fact one might even call the area humble and they wouldn't be wrong in doing so because despite its seemingly uncomplicated in familiar feel the town of Takata is famous all across the country if you were to say the name Stata to almost anyone in Japan you're bound to get the same or at least a very similar response ramen Angela funny I mean you know you buy a firearm in this peaceful countryside town does not leave any gap between expectation and reality with over a hundred ramen shops in the area and even a set of shrine gates that look like chopsticks even among all of this one shop stands out among the rest ma cycle auto son well you know the Corolla mother stood ordered a Jewish girl your mother knows she go to that Oh No Toki connacher what's a car she knocks their car so know what I mean not that we need Toto know Isana tell you who know you guys hajima today sooner or not got beauty of Korean all missing add ornaments it as long as you go to reward their tabaqui credit even put a mark 32 car this gather your own decorated tale go to rotten no Sara AHA yeah take them [Music] at seven o'clock in the morning you probably don't typically think let's go out for a bowl of ramen that is unless you're in step out Taruna tokyo karate master storytellers keen on their new homes in Kokomo update their status on all asana robbing a unit devoted a heated and a more polished cabinet of a misogynist Milla I know Solomon artistic art to mastery separately then there's a little bit of all and what can I do when it is 8 o'clock in the morning and I am eating a bowl morning Robin had ramen in the morning just never had morning ramen the owner recommended that I try the new solvents and its really popular the entire thing is just covered it's really nice flavor is super gentle it's got a light feel - like I feel like I'm not gonna have this heavy oily feel when I'm finished this is this actually works really well as morning Robin the noodles are really part of what makes it special wavy noodles with a chewy texture that absorbed the soups flavor give the ramen a bit of a unique edge Brahman comes in a variety of styles and flavors all across the country and each style is designated its own name or classification oftentimes with this name referencing a base or flavor of the soup but hearing Takata the style of ramen is simply named after the town itself now mine Hakata ramen - ramen nastácia material dissolute cheeky mayo your purse to get your tarot to corrupt even more so red hang on to me nothing's gonna I know but I had no the cudgel I adore so in Hoonah can't you mean okay doctor that I still there yes I actually used to lived right down the street over there I didn't even realize by the shop like every single day without realizing so I got curious we're gonna head in today and check it out just for good measure I'm gonna go with the same one the one with all the Joshua on top that way I can give it a fair comparison yeah those are really good definitely different from step Aetna though my taxi driver backing stuff out that kind of called it when he was talking about the water I think he's in here but you didn't mean to not come to meet you there buddy weenie shimmy much but hey you to come talk about the fresh running water that comes off of the mountains is a point of pride for many decadal oaken's but you see Takata is actually located in Japan's Fukushima Prefecture and when most people here Kashima their mind goes straight to the 2011 earthquake and the events that followed but without looking at a map many don't realize just how why did the prefecture of Kashima actually is dead cotta itself is about as far inland as you can go before you start approaching the Sea of Japan in fact it's actually closer to the area of Niigata than it is to the Pacific coast hee-honk identity [Music] while the asada or ramen for breakfast is definitely an aspect that makes bond nice shokudo unique the shop really hits its stride around lunchtime with a packed house and a street full of cars and people in Japan the process of making ramen is known to be famously time-consuming or sometimes difficult but botanizing claims that in these conditions it's actually not the most difficult part of the job the Dutch study katatak a terracotta tile your boots how to achieve a scripted hua that mean you're not ticklish okay no okay so you're gonna get deal I appreciate to push the gonna get going my total do you know oh thank you 13 you're still mmm REO days you know Thomas hi yeah more co2 mister [Music] [Applause] [Music] all right [Music] you
