Rules of Conduct:
Posts must have flair. All posts should be tagged with flair. You can select this prior to posting or after posting. Including the tag in the subject of the title is also acceptable.
Be respectful. Please be kind to your fellow ramen slurpers. We're all here to enjoy ramen in its various forms. Rude comments and posts will be removed. Continued offenses will result in being banned.
Posts must be about ramen. All posts should be about ramen (this is a ramen subreddit after all). Udon, soba, and other noodle types outside of ramen or instant noodles will be removed. Ramen offshoots, like mazesoba, tsukemen, or instant noodle hacks, are accepted.
Limit self promotion. No blog/website/affiliate/other revenue generation spamming. If you'd like to promote something, please limit your self posts to 1 in 10 posts. It's ok to be a Redditor with a blog. It's not ok to be a blog with a Reddit account.
No Low-effort Posts. It may seem desirable to post an image of a t-shirt, or a package of instant noodles, but these posts reduce the quality of the subreddit. Whenever possible, fully-made dishes are preferred over images of packages, memes, or ramen-themed apparel. Homemade components are allowed.
No images of Instant Noodle Packages. This overlaps slightly with no low-effort posts, but we specifically prohibit posts that are only images of instant noodle that are uncooked or unprepared. For more discussion on these, /r/instantramen is a better fit.
Please let the mods know via mod email if you see any violations of the rules above. We try to be aware, but sometimes things slip through the cracks.

Jiro
Jiro made according to ramen lord's recipes. No bean sprouts as they're tough to find here and low in quality when you do.
Noodles came out a little tough. I was using a whole wheat bread flour (plus vital wheat gluten). I have another batch of noodles made using a basic bread flour (plus gluten) that I think will turn out better.
Eggs were overcooked by 30 seconds as I had to run downstairs to ask a neighbor to open my bottle of mirin.
Borrowed a blow torch for the pork and I really liked the smoky flavor it added.
I always make a bunch of extra pork fat. Slather it on a thick slice of bread or bagel and pop it in the toaster oven for a quick greasy snack.

Shipped noodle suggestions?
The Asian markets where I live do not have very good fresh ramen noodle selection. I like to make my own ramen and am wondering if anyone has recommendations for noodles? I suppose I could make my own but am not ready to invest in the tools for that.

Jjajang
Is Paldo jjajangmen any good? I'm looking for a good jjajang instant ramen. I've tried Chapagetti but I literally needed to add salt it was so bland.

Japan Ramen Journey Part 3: Miso Chashu from Ramen Takahashi.
Solid 9.1/10. Definitely above Ichiran in every aspect. Silky, light, and smooth broth that had a great miso flavor 😃. It also had a very slight, fishy undertone ☺️. The soup was ripping hot and was quite pleasant in the current downpour 🔥. The bamboo shoots were also nice and warm which is a plus because some places serve them cold and rely on the hot broth to heat them up (which decreases the temperature of the broth). The chashu was also fantastic. Nice and tender and hit the marks in terms of flavor. Took some pork, ramen, and some of the blazing hot soup in the spoon, put some of the Togarashi on top, and it was an explosion of flavor. It all melded really well together. In the bowl, there were also these bits that melted in my mouth. Super delicious. If you know what these are, please comment.
The place is really small with 11 seats or even less. It was raining hard and there was no wait. Spot on with the ambience because it was nice and cozy. IMO, this is the ramen that gives ramen a good name. A small place usually has the best food.
The broth definitely earned its mark above Ichiran. However, I wish the miso was a bit more prominent and just a hair thicker to help with the savoring process and for tacking onto the elements of the dish (ramen and pork in particular). I also wish the bamboo shoots had more flavor to them. The egg was great but it could have been seasoned more and cooked a little bit less. Other than that, it was a great bowl and I would definitely come again! (With this place being so close to my hotel, it's highly likely).

Advanced Level Japan Ramen Recs
Have 4 trips under my belt and dozens of bowls of ramen. Haven’t been back since COVID and stoked to be back in the holy land this week. Looking to this sub to make me some recs based on where I’ll be, preferences etc. I’ll be in Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo.
- Tonkotsu, Shoyu and Miso broths. Prefer ones that lean heavier into pork, chicken and beef than on the seafood side of things.
- Thicker to medium thick noodles.
- Thick slices of Charshu, grilled is a bonus. Like ground pork as well, don’t love super thin slices.
- Simply toppings; love loads of bean sprouts and spring onion.
- bonus for places that have great Gyoza and/karaage.
Places on my radar:
Takayasu - Kyoto Mennoya - Osaka Jouroku - Osaka Kyushu Ramen Kio Namba - Osaka
