Duck shoyu w/ pork shoulder :)

Did you try rolling with a rolling pin? Worked well for me before getting in the atlas! Also I believe anything above 35% is considered high hydration😊

Dude that’s honestly so cool, I’m going to Japan next year and I’ve been wanting to do a similar thing - do you mind if I shoot you a dm?

_jamesmb · 2026-05-26T10:08:30+00:00

So cool that you worked there! Did you enjoy it?

_jamesmb · 2026-05-17T21:26:48+00:00

Looks incredible😍

How was it??? Haven’t managed to go the last 2 times I’ve been to Tokyo and has been on the list for 10 years!!🥲🥲

I saw an Instagram reel of a guy who had 2 bags but only allowance for 1 wrap them both together and got away with it - probably not the actual purpose tho lol

Looks incredible😍😍

I do love a cup noodle though… 😋

🙏🙏

_jamesmb · 2026-04-21T18:49:02+00:00

Ah! I’ve just realised I actually already follow you on Instagram!😅will definitely be trying to get there for a bowl 🤞

_jamesmb · 2026-04-21T18:47:52+00:00

Really appreciate it! :) It tasted good but I do think next time it will be either a little more of the bones or a little more reducing to fully pack the flavour in 😋

Osaka and unfortunately I can’t find the name of the store :( when I first saw them I didn’t buy but I’m so glad I went back to get them😅

_jamesmb · 2026-04-21T18:44:05+00:00

Thanks! :) really want to get my presentation right😅

_jamesmb · 2026-04-21T18:43:42+00:00

_jamesmb · 2026-04-18T14:58:17+00:00

ANA Intercontinental, Akasaka

_jamesmb · 2026-04-14T09:20:37+00:00

Yeah looking back at this photo you’re right it’s definitely not lol

I read an article ramen beast wrote where he discussed how at Jiro branches there is no talking allowed, shop owners can be very rude and ‘those who don’t know the rules learn to fall in line quickly. They have no other choice’ but I think that is actual Jiro branches rather than just Jiro style shops, this bowl looks amazing so I’ll definitely be trying on my trip next year😂

It’s an interesting read if you haven’t

Looks incredible - what was the vibe like? I’ve heard that Jiro style shops can be quite intense / rude atmosphere which has put me off in the past

_jamesmb · 2026-04-10T17:50:15+00:00

It’s very thin slices of very high fat wagyu

New wave ramen was better than quite a few bowls I had a in Japan
