Japanese RAMEN NOODLE ALLEY & KING CRAB RAMEN in Sapporo Japan |

good morning support oh when I got here and saw the snow the first and only thing I wanted was a bowl of piping hot

ramen

and luckily this city was kind of an entire

alley

dedicated to that come on it snows here almost every time the days, human, yesterday, ocean, oh, look at this. look at this fresh powder of fluffy and cloud like it wants to roll so excuse me for a second I went skiing here last month come you're coming I had to ski and search for a week sorry I had to see that It was a lot of pent up banker towards the snow that did not materialize.

No,

ramen

. Now, as I said, this city is known for ramen, specifically miso ramen, which is one of my favorites, and in fact, there are ramen

alley

s like entire alleys. dedicated to ramen in the city a new one in an original one let's go to the original right now and this one started in 1951 with about seven ramen shops and now there are seventeen amazing ramen places think about it I mean how amazing is that. Instead of just wandering around the city loo

king

for the best ramen shops, I'm glad to be together right there, weapons, soul stealing, yokocho, like I said, it snows a lot here in winter and that's why ramen is so incredibly popular here, justice, most of these.

The stores aren't open yet, but I'll be spending a lot of time here, so I know there's one that's open right now and we'll stay here, eat, and wait until they open. I don't love waiting for things, but for ramen, one of the loves of my life, I will make the time. Oh, Rahman Ali. I feel like Ali's are famous for a couple of things, you either find really great food at them or you get mugged. It's like, what would the other one be like, I don't really see any ramen just wandering around, so we're okay, you're wal

king

around, there are so many different selections of ramen, so many and mostly the shops are absolutely delicious, oh, butter and corn , it's a Hokkaido original if not I don't know, Hokkaido is known for certain foods that just stand out, of course, king

crab

, corn without products and melons, that's why in their ramen you will find corn, you will find butter, every job seems to have his. have ramen and they have a good price too haha ​​that's a great piece Joshua let's start with this place this is the tea.

Chicago Ramen, they are known for their soy sauce broth with seafood and giant cuts of kashrut, it is so amazing that I won't go for my first bowl around me to start snowing. This is just quaint first on my part. Those are law enforcement officers today. I'm going to try the anchovies, let's bring them in as if everything good about the fish was simply pulverized and decomposed. this amazing broth. I recommend using the bit and she will get over it. Then say goodbye to

noodle

s. Just look at some broth. I like the thickness and doneness of my

noodle

s, not too thick that the flavor still penetrates, but thick enough that we change a lot.

The truth is, regardless of how long they have been sitting in the broth, this egg is simply a thing of beauty, look at this perfect orange roll coming up if you want to know what a perfect egg looks like, just imagine the perfect sunset, why I was getting hungry at dusk the new donor broth is so good Josh would almost do it as an afterthought, that's pride, the least impressive part of this ball, just think about pork, how much flavor there is. Wow, that egg is just one of the creamiest eggs, it was perfectly cooked. I've had someone in Shaba at the bottom of the bowl always the best.

That's why you have to come to the city in winter. I can't, just lurk, no business going out in the summer heat. I feel like waiting. to the wind and snow, let's keep the ramen train going, all those ramen shops are opening slowly now, so I got here around 10:30 and there is a ramen shop that opens at 10:00. It's the first time I've been through 11. I feel like I'm on a Black Friday shopping spree and the stores are about to open their doors. Luckily, it's midweek and there aren't many people here. I'm going to split my day off into two parts eating ramen, so I'll eat occasionally.

I'm thinking about going to see these snow sculptures, all the ones that do all that touristy stuff, and now I'll come back in the late afternoon, when no one else is having lunch, it'll just be me, that's what I'm hoping for, by the way. It's so nice just look at this outside the alley it's like a winter wonderland and the city is like a city it's not like I'm going out I see mountains everywhere but with the snow slowly falling it's so pretty the speaker welcomes me to the alley of ramen. I think it's like 11 o'clock so all the places are opening and that's like the ad oh 10 Hulk this is the one that's not a vending machine just order whatever you want let's get the miso ramen and let's go get corn and butter on the side look at this ramen sweet corn chunks of butter oh nice usually a corn look at this could this huge piece of Joshua thinly sliced ​​beautifully roasted this could be the Best piece of cashew I've had in town, so far, this actually seems like a good piece of garbage, like when I had the last ramen shop, of course, a beautiful sunset of an egg with onions and the Characteristic curves of the yellow noodles that are often seen here on the hook and I was crazy about this store is that the Chevis. it's a one man army, it just makes everything from scratch and every policy is almost personalized, literally, it's like cooking each person you serve one by one, just, oh look at those creamy miso broth noodles cooked perfectly, good bounce, well chewed, I also recommend having a sneaker broth every time you talk about noodles, just good, more than soy and sweet taste in every bite.

This is one of the most unique belongings I have ever tried. This broth is truly something magical and Nicole is so good. Some kernels fell on the table here, he picked it up with a pot in his mouth, it's not a waste, I 100% recommend the added butter and corn and he told me that he saw that not only its flavor is so deep and so lovely that it leaves falling sand and that. extra creaminess completely Super Saiyan Isis named Russell it was great to have cooks working to sprout separately. I mean, you can taste a flaming wok flavor on the butcher fires like this is a bite of Hokkaido right here, let's get to one more bowl first please, really.

I want to go get that opens wide oh sweet chashu has to get wet this is a beautiful room full for someone to see minced meat in a bowl of noodles for cha shrew you see a slight ring of smoke around but they are definitely lean pieces of Joshu. third bowl Ronny, I'm still going strong ah, when you find something delicious keep eating, never let go, this broth is probably the lightest of all the broths I've tried today of course, that great creamy soy flavor I can't wait to try . At the end of this, I think everywhere I've been, these noodles are the coldest, we have no texture, it's as golden as these noodles. 100% the best deep noodles and they taste great, it's the law you should have.

The men slipped away, I feel like they themselves have been sautéing some miso to amplify the flavor. You have 100% smoked flavor. Mundo Chacho, part of smoke and good flavors. Put it as a note at the beginning. It's very lean. I'm going to Unfortunately, of all the great Ross and noodles I found in the alley today, I haven't really found that many good pieces of cashews, which I feel like is a real shame, you know, I really like this place because they are the best noodles. The texture and minced meat are very tasty. There is a great addition to this ball.

These girls are here. Yes, it's so nice. Oh, thanks girls. Our girls have a habit that every time someone says to actually eat something. I'm what the Chinese really call "like." If you tell me, especially when it comes to food, if you tell me something as good as you taste it, I'll trust you with a dumpling. I sure wasn't expecting this. Look at this, it looks like dumplings, they're usually fried, right? this is amazing come here and get the soft skinned Dutch Media Center a little bit of vinegar and they covered it with this little puddle of sesame sauce inside crispy cabbage and meat you almost enjoy this more than delicious ramen I think after 3 balls 3 balls and a silver dumplings that my enjoyment and my anticipation for the next ball, the horrible ramen will diminish, but haha, that's not the case, here we are, oh this place is crazy, miso trap, we're not going so, that's what I want, right there, this spicy miso. let's do it, this is a really cool place, ramen chef who looks like a rock star, I guess it was a disaster, honey, chili on top, fresh scallions, mushrooms, mushrooms, this looks like a fatter piece of Joshu, remember the chashu here and who cuts all the only things that give. shit bok choy real stuff like a cold piece of Joshua the egg isn't the prettiest I've seen today oh but look at the noodles man look at them and dance in them this is definitely a thicker miso broth and all those chilies give me a beautiful reddish color, I can't believe this, the fourth ball I'm going to eat today, man, it's the first spicy one I'll meet today, please, definitely, that's the atmosphere of a fun game, usually the places with ramen it's business, can you go?

Don't say anything, eat and leave this place. The chef seems fun and lively. I like it. This is one of those warm and friendly Olli Rama. I have tried. It definitely changed the fermentation of the swing more on this rock than any other box. I've had him and as soon as he starts cooking, as soon as he threw some garlic in that pan, my mouth started watering immediately, you know what he's going to stop torturing me, no one gives a damn the cha cha there. I'm looking forward to hearing them, some poor fools I thought at the last moment.

The best thing is to talk about a delicious hash. I feel like the breakouts are here or paying more attention to the cha cha, which is a little sad for me. I'm LT, Dad, a piece of pork belly was something I always made. I enjoyed my ramen, the little texture is good, no I'm burning, oh wow, that was the warmest and warmest top ramen I had today. I think after the fourth bowl we're going to hit the pause button on this thing and go. Let's go to the main place where they have ice sculptures because that's why I'm in the cities to see the Winter Festival, so let's check out that ride and I want to try a good Look, Anthony Bourdain came here, man, my Food mentor, anyway, I really want to be able to go see the festival and I want to find a good bowl of king

crab

ramen because I'm mentioning this.

I'm opening a ramen place in New York City and one of the things we're going to serve is fresh king crab ramen and the inspiration came from the volcano so I really want to find a good pool of seafood ramen, seafood ramen. king crab and just put my face in it, you know what? for now let's go see some ice sculptures look how crowded this place is now if you want to go without anyone there try to go when I went at like 10 o'clock in the morning or probably late afternoon otherwise pretty crowded , okay, the play was coming up Here after ramen, but I passed out, it was a horrible ramen-induced coma and I completely thawed out.

This is so nice. I'm a Dori Park. This is the main site of the sculptures and this is where all the winter festivals began. 50 years ago some school children built ice and snow sculptures here and then the Japanese Defense Forces when their army got involved and they started building massive sculptures and now here we are and this has become a phenomenon in Japan or people of everyone comes here. like myself to look at these ice sculptures Oh look at this this is crazy so it's not just ice sculptures now they make it a massive snow and ice event.

I mean, if I did that, yes, I could fly off the ramp and land. you know it on my face well here is all the food oh I have come to the land of food tons of food places around here and I grow fresh seafood when you are here in the Oh Hokkaido region this is what You have sweet, fresh scallops to eat, that's what. a ramen place I went to this morning Wagyu beef sauce is basically like a huge Japanese carnival Oh, hot chocolate, luckily, some hot chocolate, this is great. I mean, I'm just starting to explore this carnival, but I'm already very happy.

I came, it's like a real wonderland in the snow and look at this, the first major ice sculpture I'm seeing, it's just a huge wall, behind you can see how big even the sculpture part is, oh this is Well, I went to Christmas. Festival in London where I bought my last hot chocolate so basically it's a watery mess in Japan oh my god look at that steak build an igloo it's an ice smoking lounge no they built a fucking igloo for smokers why What fun did the smokers have? Go and check it out. I have never sent an ice building before.

It looks cozy and it's still cold. Now it's Carnival here. The first time of all the times I have been to Japan. I have seen a trash can installed. Oh what! Devils,is this, oh man, they shouldn't do those girls before Mike. I think I'll become a father as soon as I see those girls performing on stage. My first Dodd to be called. Who makes you do this? Hello boyfriend, goodbye. kitty, this is great again, this is a whole train track with a cup of noodles. I don't like their noodles, but like their ice sculpture, there is a cross between a King Kong.

I'm all for that, we're like a chia pet. guy over there, this little train just passes by, that goes wrong and the spells are now so incredibly that there's no one everywhere. I almost didn't come to this. I didn't even know it, a couple of weeks ago, but I feel like just being here this is one of the coolest more like Seoul warming and even those that freeze my soul it's like they're feeding me right now it's like they don't know my spirit tingles if you can next year we have to come here this is just thisThe whole environment, this vibe is amazing, that's why it's so creepy.

Check this out: the snowman, who looks like a pumpkin, in a group of little snowmen. Now, like Japanese horror movies, they have a ski resort. Sorry, they're snow sculptures. Apparently not, Lena. the Living Dead snow sculptures point to creativity, yeah, well, I'd be scared if I was walking here one night, at the end of the line, this is it. I mean although you should come here, you will get a very romantic vibe from this. place you know with all the nice snow and upbeat music and apparently Saturn so it's really good for couples or to go with people you love and just walking around here you know it's that we touch your feelings and it makes you think about people. you love it and maybe while doing things that matter to me, it really makes me think deeply about what kind of ramen I want for dinner, thinking about seafood, definitely seafood.

How about crab ramen here? This is actually a very good restaurant for crab ramen in support it received. Those are a disaster, mmm, snow crab, fresh corn, butter, peppers, onions, seaweed and of course classic Hokkaido style noodles, only in Japan do we go to a fair, a restaurant, a bowl of noodles that are It looks exactly the same as what you'll find at the restaurant, I mean, boiled very hot. freshly made noodles Wow my crab that crab is so sweet oh look at that big scoop of crab and they make it this way so you don't have to mess with the shell which I appreciate I mean it's really steamy cuz It's so hot mmm boiling broth, okay, you see, I know what happened.

I thought wow, that's fatter than any other brother I've had today. Just because I was drinking the part where the butter wasn't melted, I was getting like this now. for the butter, you know as much as I love butter, no one wants a mouthful of butter, mix that and the broth mmm, show me so creamy, oh man, again, butter and corn wherever it's offered, yeah, take it, perfect photo, dose of Antonia, dog, wanted some crab infused miso. broth and this is probably one of the thickest broths I tried today and the miso basically covers it like a sauce.

You get like 2 different types of creaminess here, one is from the popped sweet corn and the other is just from the meaty crab, it's something that's great to eat when you're at a festival, something bad. I hate ramen in Hokkaido, this piece of frozen meat, seriously, they love surfing here, but not so much the grass, this is the place where there have never been so many bad Joshu and ramen places. In Japan we are consistently bad, in fact there is an older one that is better once you know they are greasy and tender. Oh what they use here is really great, they use raw onions instead of sprouts, it creates a more refreshing crunch.

Anything else is everyone. so taking Hardy is great to eat there and come back and photograph more sculptures and of course this festival. I didn't know. I came here at the last minute. I'm supposed to return to Tokyo, but I'm so glad I made the trip here. This is truly one of the most wonderful experiences I have ever had in my life. It's creepy, you know, spider-sense-inducing festivals, but come here. Such an amazing city had great ramen basically like Ben Adair. in the gray ramen in the ramen alley great crab ramen here I have I have plans for a few fun days of food, but yeah, I mean, I really love the city and I would love to come back, I mean, this is like this it's so pretty, you know , I know it's a city, I don't know if it's the snow or maybe this lively atmosphere, but it's one of the nicest cities, I mean, fun things to do everywhere, it's great anyway, all the information about ramen alley is listed below.

Thank you all so much for watching until we eat again to be safe.
