Show Notes

Joined this episode by the friends of the pod Abram aka Ramen Beast and Keizo Shimamoto, noted LA Clippers fan.

We get into current events, especially the recent effects of COVID19 on Abram and Keizo.

Also get to hear about Abram's crazy trip to Fukuoka which segues into a deep dive into Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen. We cover some of the history, and Keizo walks us through the tricky process of cooking the stuff.

We also get into how Hakata Ramen blew up and became a global phenomenon. The guys share their recommendations for top bowls in US as well as Tokyo.
