Love the videos, I don’t know if you can… but it would be amazing if you can include more footage of your eating the food !! Keep up the good work!

[GabrielaBlanco]

Your videos feel like I'm not only travelling across the world, but also back in time with all these gems you show us. I love it, thank you!

This is why we are going to Japan - thank you so much

[henrychew]

Thanks for the extensive introduction. Having only tried ramen rage nearby, definitely wouldn't mind eating a few more bowls here! The tsukemen and spicy miso ramen will probably be my go to spot when i do explore this area! Really liking these kind of series, showcasing different ramen styles in 1 area.

Gotta visit this neighbourhood when I visit Tokyo!

I was thinking about visiting Ogikubo. Now I have more reasons to go when Japan opens up. 🍜🍜🍜

Ramen and hipster coffee (shops) is all the daytime fuel I ever need any time I am in Tokyo. Never been to Okikubo and nice video showcasing the neighborhood ramen scene.

Sweating from spicy food makes it very apparent that it’s spicy but it shows you’re invested

[bobbicatton]

Wow, such variety! I'll take one of each, even the slimy one😂👍

[Kas-S]

Big thumbs up for that spice miso ramen with the hefty noodles @ HOOK ?? I don't think slimy noodles would grab my attention, LOL! That's an interesting concept though.

[myronyoshioka]

would love all but the tantanmen one....looks spicy....but might try it

[jaycha]

Amazing video as always man. Glad to see you growing!

[Sfedai]

Uchoku is tops on my list to eat when I can make it over.

[jianshen]

Tried to look for Uchoku (迂直)

But seems like the shop is closed already? Could not find any info on their relocation

Urinbo was one of your first vids to the world of ramen, and the first time I had to call my order の ticket. Love to see a top 5 or countdown type recommendation for best easy access ramen, no to low queue/wait, just good shit to rec to avoid the best ramen world ichiran stuff from every other blogger. Seriously, purse ya lips together and selfie a bowl at ichiran in Ueno, get views. Keep gettin' on with the rare ones, do a top 5 one in tokyo, TOURIST DISTRICT. Gotta be some good ones right, I waited for an hour for shio near

[Aiken]

Having very few Ramen options in my city, this is killing me. Thank Frank for keeping the Ramen lust going.

Uchoku looked the best to me. Too bad the toppings weren't great. You can definitely tell the ones which have been around a long time as they do not look very modern in presentation. Thanks for another great round up! :)

I’m from Ottawa in Canada and the tsukemen with the slimy noodles sounds fantastic. I like a good sea flavour and heavy chicken broth. Keep up the great work love the video’s
