I have a quick question
Okay
ラーメンの好み
Which type of ramen do you guys like?
Okay
Ramen, tsukemen, hiyashi chuka or aburasoba
Those are the options?
How the fuck did you come up with those options, man?
And also, which type of soup do you prefer?
Soy sauce, salt, miso, tonkotsu or tantanmen
How the fuck did you come up with that?
So I enjoy your contents every day
Those are really helpful to keep my motivation of learning English
Au revoir, bonne journée
Okay
Wow
Huge red flag on this guy
I love this message
Nice
Which types of ramen do you guys like?
So what was it?
Yeah
Okay
So first of all, ramen's an option?
Funny
Yeah, which types of ramen do you guys prefer?
Ramen
Okay
Tsukemen
Okay
Hiyashi chuka
Well, that's not even a ramen
Or aburasoba
Or aburasoba
All right, let's choose out of the four
Okay
That's four options?
Okay
Hiyashi chuka, aburasoba
Aburasoba
Out of that, I would go with...
If I had to choose out of that, I would go for tsukemen
Oh, tsukemen?
Okay
I'd say ramen
Ramen? All right, okay
Why tsukemen?
Because it's thick
Yeah
The dipping soup is very thick and I like it
Okay, okay
Yeah
But I hate the fact that it gets cold near the end
Right, right, right
I don't know what to do with it
Yeah, you can order the attakai version
The men?
The noodles? Are you talking about the noodles?
Because I know that
Oh yeah, I guess so then
Like noodles
Usually they sort of reheat the cold way
So usually what I think is normal around the ramen industry
Is they give you like a room temperature men noodles
And then they give you like a boiling hot soup
But at the end, I find my soup all cold and I don't like it
Right, right
So I sometimes ask for the men to be hot
But still towards the end, yeah
The soup overall gets all cold and I don't like it
So you want to reheat it?
Yeah, I sometimes ask for
I ask them to reheat the rest of the noodles, the soup
Yeah
And do they say yes?
Yes, most of the times, yeah
All right, so you prefer tsukemen
Yes
Okay, that's your favorite types of ramen
Well, yeah, to his question, yes
Okay, so second question
スープの好み
Which type of soup do you prefer?
All right
Soy sauce, salt, miso, tonkotsu, or tantanmen
What would happen if I had chosen hiyashi chuka?
What would happen then?
Like how would my answer be?
Hiyashi chuka tonkotsu
Yeah, like how would I answer that question after the first one?
True, so true
But I guess the typical ramen flavor question, right?
Yeah
But you have to answer from those five options
Yeah, what was the option?
Soy sauce
Soy sauce?
Salt
Salt?
Miso
Miso
Tonkotsu
Tonkotsu
Tantanmen
Tantanmen, okay
All right
I would, out of that, I would go for definitely tantanmen
Oh, tantanmen
Definitely tantanmen
Okay
So I would say in these options
Okay
Tonkotsu
Tonkotsu?
Yeah
Is ieki ramen tonkotsu, do you think?
A little bit different from a pure tonkotsu?
Yeah
What I imagined from tonkotsu was more like
You know, the one you can find in Fukuoka
ラーメンの好み
Or like Ichiran
Ah, true
Yeah
I see, I see
Yeah
But ieki definitely they use pork as a, so
What would be the genre for the
Soup you find in many stores that have like a
Gyofun?
What is that?
What genre is that?
That's gyokaikei
Gyokaikei?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Okay
It's like, you know, katsuobushi and like
Fish
Yes
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I love that too, actually
Right, especially like tsukemen
Tsukemen, yeah
Any tsukemen has that
I love it too
True, true, true, yeah
So without any, you know, limits of those choices
What is your favorite ramen?
Like, I mean, favorite
Kind of noodle dish
Yeah, noodle things
Iekiramen has to be my number one
I would have to put that on there
Okay
Iekiramen
Do you, well, any kinds of
Yes
Yeah, okay
So salt or shoyu
You know how you can choose salt or shoyu?
I really don't care
Even the taste?
Both are fine too
Yeah, at the end, I really don't care
Okay, I see
Yeah, I mean, I understand the difference
Yeah
But like, they're both like, they're both very strong
Yes, yes, yes
They both give me headaches at the end
Because it's too oily
Yeah
And
The results
Yeah, and the first bite is delicious
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And it's thick
Yeah, it's like, yeah
Yeah, ultimately, I don't really care
ヤケラーメンの味について
Yeah, I see, I see
What's your number one noodle dish?
Well, as I told you before, the kai dashi
That I can, that I went to when I was in Kyoto
That's the best to me
Right, right
But more like, you know, in general
Well, I love yake too
Yeah, yeah
Do you still usually go to a yake shop?
Not recently, not recently
Right
Because of you're taking care of your health and everything?
I mean, yeah, could be
But I mean, I go to some restaurant, ramen shops
But not yake recently
I don't know why
What happened?
I don't know why
I feel like recently I prefer, I prefer like more, you know, like a assari kei
Like kai dashi
Okay
Like a tori dashi
Yeah, those
You've grown up
Yeah, get old
Yeah
Do you think that it's too heavy?
If you go for a yake ramen, like it's going to be like motareru kind of thing?
Could be
Oh
Oh, it's just, you know, getting hot
So
That's true
It could be
Yeah, definitely
Yeah
Finding every reasons not to
Not to realize that we're getting old
Yeah
Yeah
Right
Right, right, right
So is it, do you have like a shoyu or shio preference on the yake ramen?
Yeah, I love shio
Yeah
Well, I mean, shio is good too
Like they don't, they're actually kind of very similar
Oh yeah
I get you, man
I get you
Yeah, yeah
Do you, do you do any customs?
You know how at the beginning they ask you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Okonomi arimasu ka?
Do you, what do you ask?
I would say, I definitely every time say men katame
Aji koime
Oh
Yeah
Abura futsu
Okay
That's it
I think that's it, yeah
Yeah
Wow
What was yours?
You're like a kokose
Yeah
So if you talk about yake ramen
So thick it gets
Yeah
You know, better I guess, you know
Really?
Yeah, yeah
I don't know about that
Oh really?
I think when I order koime
Okay
I think it's just too much
Is that too much for you?
Yeah, I think it's just
Oh really?
Yeah, I think it's like, it's too salty
Too salty?
I think
Yeah
冷たくなったつけ麺の解決策
Yeah, I mean it's, they're very salty so I get it
Yeah
Yeah
I always order futsude
Everything futsude?
Everything, yeah
Every time, everywhere I go futsude
Okay
Yeah
Or if I were to give it some tweak, I would go for katame de
Men katame
That's it
That's it?
But nothing else, I don't go for koime
Like abura
I don't go for oime
No, I just, I go for normal
Okay
Yeah
Yeah
Well if you get headaches, maybe you can order like aburasukuname?
No?
I'm afraid that if I do that
Yeah
I might give away some of the flavors
Ah, right
I might give away the goodness
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's very possible
I'm scared
Yeah, yeah, me too
That's why I don't list the oils
Because it has some deliciousness in it so
But I've never done it though
Oh really?
I've never done it though
You can then try that
Maybe it's good
Maybe it's
As an whole experience that would be better
Maybe, yeah
And the taste itself as well
Maybe it could be like
Gyoushuku sareteru?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Kanjiru kamo?
Yeah
Maybe?
Could be, yes, yes
Yeah, maybe I'll try that
Right, right
When was the last time you had iyakera, man?
Like a month ago
A month ago?
Yeah
You went to the real shop?
Yes, yeah
I went to like a nantokaya
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
Right
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I had a futsuu
Everything futsuu
Everything futsuu
Had a headache at the end
Yeah
Right
Bought ice cream
I don't know why, but I always buy ice cream
After the ramen?
After eating iyakera ramen
Wow
I don't know, it's like a habit of mine
That I know I should stop, but I can't
That's like double punch
I know, right?
But the ice cream really kind of saves me from the headaches
Oh
Yeah, it kind of, I can feel my headache just going away
After that first bite of that
Fresh, creamy
Cold ice cream
Yeah
It's like the, to me, it's like a far opposite
So it kind of neutralizes
Oily and like freshness
It's hot and cold
Yeah, it's hot and cold
Ramen is all, you know, greasy
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Whereas ice creams are fresh
You get that fresh taste, right?
I do, I do
Yeah
The ramen's are very salty
The ice cream's are very sweet
Yeah
It really neutralizes it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Neutralizes everything
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I get it
Right, yeah
