Sorry for the completely un-ramen related post. That’s me in the Santa suit, my motorcycle covered with toys. Every year, my motorcycle club organizes a charity event. We collect toys, load up our bikes with said toys, and ride from Tokyo to orphanages in the surrounding area. The idea of a “Toy Run” is very…
Ramen Adventures にようこそ！冒険が好き。ラーメンが好き。だから。。。Ramen Adventures! 見たありがとうございます！
ズームイン!! SUPER I’ve had some interesting ramen adventures in these past couple years. The latest started with an email from a producer at Nihon TV‘s morning show, Zoom In!! Super. It’s a daily, nationwide news program with random segments thrown in the mix. The Maru Q bit takes a topic, asks questions to strangers on…
ラーメンWalker Out of the dozen or so ramen magazines published in Japan, Ramen Walker might be the most famous. The “Walker” name is appended to all manner of things. If you ever live in Japan, I suggest you pick up a your-city-name-here Walker. This year there’s not 1, but 4 for the Tokyo area alone.…

Taking things a step more adventurous, I packed enough nama ramen for 4 days, and enough instant noodles for 3. Nama, meaning raw, means that I would need to actually boil the…
Is the sun rising over Tokyo a true testament to nature’s beauty? And can one honestly call hopping the Yamanote train, street atlas in hand, an adventure? Stay tuned, I’ll be back in a week or so.
最強ラーメン烈伝 A ramen festival isn’t necessarily a great place to have the best ramen, but it’s a great place to have a ramen adventure. I put the word out, and on Monday, June 21st, about a dozen ramen loving friends met up to try a few dozen bowls. The shoyu from Nagao was fishy and…
Readers of ramenadvnetures.com have sent me a lot of email. We’ve met up in Tokyo, talked about the state of ramen affairs, drank, and had a few adventures. Recently, though, I got a unique request. A request for some ramen related books! It goes without saying that in Japan there would be a couple pieces…
A freeze dried cube of flavor. It wasn’t bad. Summer Time Ramen is available at your local 7-11 for the time being.
