Show Notes

I saw an interesting tweet announcing a new Ramen Noodle company in the San Francisco Bay Area, and I had to investigate. Figured this would be a good time to talk specifically about noodles and give the listeners a taste of how complicated this rabbit hole is.

I enlisted Mike Satinover aka Ramen Lord to help me in our discussion with Shotaro Uchida-san of Iseya Craft Noodle. Uchida-san is gearing up to launch in April this year, and we wanted to hear his story.

Learn about the definitive ingredients that belong in any ramen noodle. Listen to Uchida-san and Ramen Lord discuss the different styles and techniques required. Learn about what equipment is involved. Learn the role of a "Seimenjo" or Noodle Producer in the Japan market.

Here's hoping you leave this episode with a deeper appreciation for the noodles in your bowl.
