新横浜ラーメン博物館 Have you been to the Ramen Museum in Yokohama? If you have traveled to Japan and have an interest in ramen, you most likely have. Attendance is up in a major way over the last few years, evident by the tour buses that line up outside (pro tip, show up when they open to…
最強ラーメンFes. Thanks for subscribing to my YouTube channel! Anyways, the Grand Tsukemen Fest is now the Grand Ramen Fest, I suppose. A bowl of garlic-spiked tonkotsu ramen by any other name would be just as sweet. This time, the festival was over six weeks. Each week has ten shops. That’s 60 bowls to try! Not…
ラーメンJAPAN in びんGO Another week, another random, middle-of-nowhere ramen festival! Actually, I generally avoid these events, unless people personally invite me and it won’t take much time out of my day. This one, in a town you’ve probably never heard of, Bingo-Honjo, satisfied neither of those criteria. But it was held in an event hall,…
東京ラーメンショー2016 I didn’t even plan on attending the 2016 Tokyo Ramen show this time around. I was busy with other things, and had just finished with the Grand Tsukemen Festival, where I had 38 of the 40 available bowls. I was festivalled-out! But then the usual suspects, the raota, the ramen nerds, told me to…
大つけ麺博 I’m not going to review each shop, as the event is long over by the time you are reading this. Just know that these ramen events are madness, and the quality is very high these days. I made videos each week, check em out! Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 A big…
蔦 と 鳴龍 Congratulations to the two ramen shops that received Michelin stars for 2017. Above is Nakiryu, which came out of nowhere. Fantastic shop, and looking back on my review, somewhere that is deserving, but I don’t think any of the Tokyo-based ramen nerds expected that. The fact that Nakiryu and Tsuta are both just a…
Marvel x Ippudo Are you Team Captain? Or Team Stark? Let the battle begin. I was lucky enough to make it to the limited Marvel x Ippudo collaboration event with the relase of Captain America: Civil War. What does a six item, limited menu look like? How do you represent each side and all of…
さいたま新都心ラーメンフェスティバル As Ramen Adventures isn’t about my current adventures (I post two reviews a week, and the backlog is about two months), I feel bad when I go to these limited-time festivals and slurp some good bowls. I often post over at the Facebook site, but not always. And let’s face it, an event up…
大つけ麺博 Ramen festivals are popping up more and more around Japan. There used to be the Tokyo Ramen Show, and that was it. The success of this event led others to delve into the field, and I remember the early days of the Grand Tsukemen Fest back in 2009. The concept is always the same;…
ラーメン女子博 2016 Another year, another Ramen Girls Festival. If you check my post from a year ago, you can see that the organizer, Satoko Morimoto, goes all out. A lot of popular shops came, and this year was much more organized than the year before. The problems of insane, four hour lines was fixed by…
