  • Ichiran is one of Japan’s most famous ramen restaurants. This particular branch serves a no-pork ramen, but retains all the flavor of tonkotsu ramen.

      Justin Saephan really?that sounds a lil bit expensive for me.i think for 15$ to give you “that” experience its understable,but probably not for a routine meals. cause in my place its just 1$ and you will get a big portion of ramen

      Eh, it's not because they care about introverts but because it's more convenient and wastes less time for the consumer.
      Pre-ordering a ramen instead of going to the cashier saves much more time and requires less men for the restaurant. Vending machines are also common there because of the Work Culture of Japan, not because of introverts. It is much more convenient to buy everything you need in the street whenever you go to work instead of going to a store.

    This is interesting to me in that most restaurants try to foster a social experience. The closest equivalent to the west to this seating setup I have seen is eating at a counter, and those are almost designed to encourage you to chat with the people next to you. Even the most 'intimate' experience, which is the word I think most western restaurants would use instead of private, are designed for at the very least, two people. This strikes me certainly as the sort of place for end of day comfort food eating

    When my mother and I visited Japan, visiting one Ichiran was like very high on my list. Unlike me, my mother can read traditional Chinese/Kanji so she was very confused as to why we were going there. As soon as we entered and she took a look at the vending machine and all these little cubicles, her eyes lightenend up.
    It was pretty good, there are certainly better Ramen spots in Tokyo or even around Shinjuku where we went, but the experience made it all worthwhile.

      oki so the pants guy is pissing ya know and everyone is annoyed by the smell but hey at least his pants will block the piss from getting on them.
      not the same for the commando guy, since he doesn't have pants to block his piss, its getting on everyone. now not only do they have to deal with the smell, now they have to worry about how they've been sprinkled with piss.
      of course, people that are wearing pants (masks) will not have as much piss coming in contact with their skin however those that wore skirts or shorts (wearing a mask incorrectly) only had a little bit of protection. whereas the people that refuse to wear anything down there (no mask) might as well have bathed in piss.
      if everyone had worn pants then the only ones getting soaked in piss would be the two guys.
      in short wear your mask, the fibers make it harder for the droplets to make their way through to your nose and mouth. It's sort of like a really hard maze for the droplets i guess. and always cover the nose, the little virus fuckers live up there, hence why they shove that long swab up ther, so always cover the nose.

    I went to Ichiran for the first time, and it was so fascinating to experience! Loved the ramen, privacy, and lovely people :)

    I love ramen. When my husband was not feeling well when we were in Las Vegas last January, I found a really great Ramen restaurant. It helped him feel better. I enjoy your videos and I am a new subscriber. I hope that this finds you doing well.
