Slurping 101: tips on how to eat a bowl of ramen

[lucaschis]

everyone: “slurping noodels compliments the chef” because there is always a chef watching me eat noodles in my house at 2am

I am a Japanese old man.
Ramen has been eating since I was a child
Recently I have said many things with media etc., but you can eat ramen as you like. I am not good at hot and I do not like how to eat like this movie. No sound is produced. It is OK to eat freely for each person's way of eating. There is nothing to worry about.

Finally. A person in one of these videos who is not being condescending nor insinuating that there is only one “right” way of eating something. He’s not insulting other people for the way they eat and the suggestions he gave actually made logical sense. Refreshing.

If I caught someone filming me eating ramen I would flip out lol

Bunch of ignorant ethnocentric comments up in here. I've been to Japan 20+ times and the first thing I learned is that when you're not sure how to properly eat something, just watch how everyone else is doing it and do it. No questions asked. When you're a visitor in another country do what is culturally acceptable. Don't be like "Back home its rude to do this & that." Don't fall into that category of "ignorant tourist" who thinks they're better than the host country. Better off not travelling at all if that's your mindset.

Came here cause I was hungry and thought the video was pretty neat. I like learning about different cultures and food. The comments are creeping me out though

Hm, a time limit of 5 minutes is pretty tough, IMO. Sure, the soup is best when it's boiling hot, but I'd rather not burn my tongue everytime I go out to eat some ramen. >_>

If you want to avoid slurping and the soup going everywhere, use the spoon. That is what I've learned. I'm not from a place where ramen is a usual food, but I have seen native Koreans eat it that way. You just place the ramen on the spoon with the chopsticks and shove it in your mouth. I did my research because the mess I left on the table and my surrounding made me go crazy. The spoon way also seemed quite polite to me.

The one time i can actually enjoy slurping my food loudly! I think it's cool.

[buukute]

you must apology for the pork before you eating by saying" see you soon"

[ZombieWolfe]

He makes the food look more delicious.

[gibsonflyingv]

This is way harder than it looks. Japanese people make it look so damn easy. And without making a big mess either.

[heyoh]

The "oh" coming from the camera man when the guy lifts the bowl to his mouth 🤣🤣

[emmaoko]

I nearly cried when you broke that egg-yoke! Thanks for letting us watch.

[jadedmind]

I really appreciate his explanation and his openness about how any way is okay. ♥️

I just had a bowl of ramen soup for the first time because all my favorite restaurants are closed on Christmas Eve... I had no idea how to eat it so I kinda winged it. OMG, it was so delicious! Will definitely eat it again!

[bettyboossister]

I don't think I would like to go on a first date eating this....

[camilleduyap]

"Is that appropriate??" What a question dude? Did u do your research?

[Sandeagledhorn]

it'd 1:26 am and here i am again...watching people eat food...

The most artful way to eat ramen is the way YOU choose to enjoy it :)
This guy is just giving us great advice to go with it which the best advice he gave was to go quick which is why we all slurp (it’s HOT)
