Ramen Hunter

Joined on this episode by friends of the pod Abram aka Ramen Beast and Cody aka Ramen Guide Japan.
We first talk about recent slurps, including Ramen Mu (6:21) which provides syringes to shoot up your ramen bowl. Abram recommends Shimomae Shoten (11:27) in Yokohama Chinatown. Edwin asks the guys about their thoughts on a new "healthier noodle" product launched by Sakai Seimen (13:12).
We get into a legendary Tokyo shop called Ichijo-ryu Ganko Ramen (18:15). You won't find this shop in Michelin or any publications. Strictly for the heads! Learn the backstory, the lineage, and the magic that goes into the bowl.
