014 All thing Ramen Jiro + Tokyo Ramen of the Year 2021 review with Ramen Beast and Ramen Guide Japan
Show Notes

Am joined this episode by Abram aka Ramen Beast and Cody aka Ramen Guide Japan, two elite English speaking Ramen Hunters. These guys are on a mission to hit-up every Ramen Jiro, a soul crushing style of Ramen know for volumes of noodles, vegetables, and oil.

Ramen Jiro is a genre that literally has a cult following. Ramen Jiro is also notorious for shunning media, so it's tough to get English language (and even Japanese) info. Jiro Heads are not necessarily Ramen Heads, so the culture has evolved in a bubble. Listen as Cody and Abram peel back the curtain on this legendary style.

We also touch on the new Tokyo Ramen of the Year (TRY) 2020-2021 magazine that dropped on 10/22. What do some top Ramen Hunters think of the rankings?
