Ramen in Japan

 

In Japan, the ultimate comfort food is ramen, with filling noodles, delectable pork or other meat, eggs, vegetables, and most importantly, the soup. That soup can vary widely and contain almost anything. In Rishiri Island, that means highlighting the taste of the local seaweed for a soup that people travel hours for. That's the first of three stories about Japanese ramen from Great Big Story. They also go over the history of instant ramen, which is how most Americans were introduced to it. And finally, we learn about Toyama black ramen, which is only available in Toyama. Warning: this video may cause hunger pangs. (via Geeks Are Sexy)
