Ramen – The noodles everyone loves
Ramen is one of the most popular types of Japanese noodles. The first ramen shop in Japan opened about 100 years ago, serving with soy sauce flavored broth, which suited Japanese tastes. Over the years, more varieties of broth were developed for a wider selection. Now, there is even a Michelin Guide Tokyo awarded ramen restaurant, whose chef's excellent fusion of Japanese and Western ingredients is a hit around the world. Halal ramen is another innovation helping spread the appeal of ramen worldwide.

00:06 Japanese noodles come in all varieties.
00:09 From the traditional simplicity of buckwheat soba,
00:12 to the satisfyingly chewy texture of udon.
00:16 [Music]
00:19 But the type that's currently gaining fans worldwide is of course, ramen.
00:24 [Music]
00:27 Japan's first ramen restaurants opened about 100 years ago.
00:31 [Music]
00:34 Their ramen broth was soy sauce based.
00:37 A taste that's always been a Japanese favorite.
00:40 It was an instant hit.
00:42 [Music]
00:49 A century later, we now have a wide choice of ramen styles.
00:53 [Music]
00:56 You can explore them in the shopping malls under Tokyo Station.
01:00 In a whole street dedicated to ramen.
01:03 Ramen comes in three main styles.
01:06 Miso ramen gets its deep rich flavor from that traditional Japanese ingredient, miso paste.
01:12 [Music]
01:16 With shio ramen, the broth has a mainly salty taste,
01:19 that varies widely depending on what kind of seafood is used.
01:23 [Music]
01:26 And tonkotsu ramen broth is made by simmering bones.
01:31 It makes a great base for toppings like red pickled ginger and spicy miso.
01:36 [Music]
01:40 But these are just the most popular kinds.
01:42 The world of ramen never stops expanding.
01:45 [Music]
01:49 There are always lines waiting outside this ramen restaurant.
01:54 For three years running, it's been ranked with one star in the Michelin Guide Tokyo.
01:59 [Music]
02:01 It's the brainchild of Yamamoto Atsushi, a ramen chef for 20 years.
02:06 [Music]
02:08 I couldn't feel satisfied until I'd created something unique.
02:12 The only one of its kind.
02:14 All my life I've been perfecting tastes that people can only experience in my restaurants.
02:19 [Music]
02:21 This is Yamamoto's best-selling dish, shio ramen.
02:24 The broth is made with red sea bream and clams.
02:27 [Music]
02:30 But Yamamoto takes things further with unusual non-traditional ingredients.
02:34 [Music]
02:36 For a touch of luxury, he adds truffles.
02:39 And the finest Italian porcini mushrooms.
02:43 [Music]
02:46 Skillfully balancing a classic Japanese base with gourmet western ingredients,
02:51 Yamamoto has crafted a unique ramen experience.
02:54 [Music]
02:56 He pays the same attention to his noodles,
02:58 blending six different wheat varieties for a consistency to perfectly match his broth.
03:03 [Music]
03:07 I want my restaurants to attract people in every part of the world with ramen dishes unique to us.
03:12 And I'm always seeking ways to better appeal to international tastes.
03:16 [Music]
03:17 Gourmets worldwide rush to check out each new restaurant he opens.
03:21 [Music]
03:24 The fact that ramen was originally mostly pork-based
03:27 hasn't stopped its enthusiastic adoption by halal chefs.
03:31 [Music]
03:33 It's absolutely delicious.
03:35 Empty ingest?
03:37 I have emptied.
03:39 This restaurant is run by Mujahid Jahangir,
03:43 who's lived in Japan for 35 years.
03:46 More than just providing halal ramen,
03:49 his goal is also to excel for quality and taste.
03:53 [Music]
03:55 I believe ramen should be accessible to everyone,
03:58 wherever they come from.
04:00 Ramen dishes usually use pork,
04:03 so I had to think of substitutes to make them halal
04:06 and as tasty as traditional ramen.
04:09 This way, I hope to encourage more Japanese
04:12 and people around the world to enjoy halal cuisine.
04:16 The evolution of ramen continues
04:19 as creative chefs keep bringing fresh ideas,
04:22 eagerly anticipated by ramen lovers everywhere.
