/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Threw this together for dinner; shitake mushroom, bok choy and scallion. I doctored store bought chicken broth with mirin, soy and oyster sauce, hoisin and rice vinegar. Noodles are Halo brand. Not bad, girlfriend really enjoys when I make it.

Kikanbou in Tokyo is my favorite bowl of ramen. If I could make ramen I'd want to open a branch in America.

I tried Jinya down in Houston. My God, that was the most disappointing ramen I've ever had.

Daikokuya ramen with added kotteri flavor from the little Tokyo location of Daikokuya. The other branches don't live up to the OG Daikokuya. There's a reason why there's still a line all the time at this location even though there's other ramen places all up and down the street. Fucking GOD tier, bitches!

Hakata tonkotsu, I live in Japan so I flew down there over the spring break and had a tonne. That shit is addictive as hell, not even kidding it's great.
The sad thing was when I got back to my inaka shithole the local mall had a special fukuoka event which included all the gifts that I'd brought back anyway. Ffs

>>12126111
This is your best bet if you have shit restaurants near you.
(unless you want to make the broth yourself. Like some kind of co/ck/)

>>12126111
the classic tonkotsu ramen of course!

>>12126165
>noodles

What noodles?

>>12126111

Spicy garlic with chicken slices with extra noodles

This was unbelievably spicy and I could eat it everyday even though it isn’t anything fancy

does tantanmen count?

>>12127443

The mushrooms ruin it, no need for that many

>>12126111
Found this one place near me that isn't deep into the city that serves decent ramen. Tonkotsu is becoming my fav.

love that tonkatsu ramen!! bunch of places in SoCal serve that

extra pork, extra pork fat, extra garlic

>>12126111
Ok retard question here: are you supposed to eat the bok choy or is it just to flavor the broth?

>>12126111
it's not ramen but try some chinese beef noodle soup.

>>12126111
Tonkotsu is the king. The rich oily pork broth feeds the body and the soul.

>>12131460
There shouldn't be any bok choy.

>>12126111

Gokkei in Kyoto has an insanely thick chicken gravy ramen. Made any of the bowls I have had in Hakata seem lightweight. Menya Saimi in Sapporo is my favorite miso bowl.

>>12126177

Kikanbo is pretty decent and has a strong following even though it's sort of novelty.

>>12126182

It's one of the more popular ramen shops near me (Katy). It is bang average for ramen I've had in the US.

>>12127312

What was your favorite place in Fukuoka? I still like Issou the best.

>>12127570

Yes.

>>12131701

I really need to go back to Taiwan.

If this counts, I really enjoyed this in Harajuku

Janjanken in Gotenba has god tier Tomato ramen

i too, went to japan, and tried a lot of ramen.

not for me. i was more hyped to eat japanese diner food. ramen is just what, you get a broth and noodles. yeah big whoop. analyzing the flavors of specific menyas shits is akin to me driving around my shitty desert hometown, sampling a big mac at every mcdonald, and noting the subtle differences in flavor which surely depends on how much particles of fecal matter are involved, and whether or not the flippers are from honduras or oaxaca.

fuck that noise. get me a saba and rice.

>Shizuoka
My tomodachi!
If you guys want something different, Marunaka in Fujieda has a shop famous for breakfast ramen. It's nice! The broth is fish based so it's a pretty different experience.

its sad to say but I've lost my taste for the stuff
I started low carbing in february but I decided the other day, ya know what? I want some ramen
so I drove 40 minutes to the good ramen place and it just didn't do anything for me

I'm kind of sad I don't really like it anymore because I used to like it so much

good ol tonkotsu ramen with black garlic oil is always a good option

Ramen is a hipster zoomer meme. They literally charge you $15+ for shit that costs like $2 to make.

The only ramen I'd splurge for is tonkotsu or whatever kind they make by actually boiling pork bones desu

>>12132051
Ramen includes big slices of meat. What would you consider a big fucking whoop? Some meat? Oh wait...

>>12132481
i have no idea what you are trying to say my friend

>Ramen
>Hearty
Just get some pho

>>12132836
Hearty means it has flavor and substance

>>12132836
eat your dog, commie

>>12132051

Eh, ramen can get old if you're eating it everyday but it does vary a lot in style. I always change things up with some curry or street food vendors. Oden shops are amazing. Saba is always good, though.

>>12132063

Try a style you haven't had yet.

>>12132472

Shitty places in the US that are just catching the wave are a meme. Sadly, they keep popping up.

>putting an egg in soup

LOL HOW RANDOM, autistic

GF made this for me a few months ago. No idea what goes into it but it basically took her all day

bump to keep good thread alive

>>12131983
Doesnt count dipshit

>>12135170
Trade her in for one who actually knows how to cook dipshit

I had a $13 Taiwanese tonkotsu abomination at a boba and shaved ice store recently.
My favorite is spicy tonkotsu with wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots, corn, extra meat, and half boiled egg. I also like the other weird side items like chicken karaage, carrot and onion kakiage, soft potato croquettes. Sometimes when me and my boy are feeling cheap, he'll order extra noodles and I'll give him broth and some toppings.

>>12126111
There's a place called Nomiya near my house, they serve a really great bowl of ramen. Not much variety, but what they do serve is really fucking delicious. I tend to get tonkatsu ramen with a bunch of extras, especially an egg.

>>12136002
Here's a bowl from the place. Having talked about it, I have now resolved to get a bowl tomorrow.

>>12135894
How are any of those weird? That's just fried bar food.

>mfw 90% ramen shop in NYC serves the exact same bowls of ramen without fail and charge like $15 for it
>>12136002
>>12136012
Yup, there it is. Not saying it is bad but some more variety would be good.

Here in Tokyo I never eat tonkotsu, most people don't, it simply isn't that popular.

I had this yesterday, a shoyu ramen with duck chashu.

>>12126111

Now THESE look damn good.

>>12135170
>this dipshit again
>this garbage took her all day
literally how? letting the broth simmer while sitting on your fucking ass doesnt count as all day.

Tonkotsu ramen is good, but not as good as katsudon

Shio with sweet corn and extra noodles.

>>12136225
It's a classic bowl for a reason man. And I don't like shoyu broth as much.
