Behind the Counter at a Local Japanese Miso Ramen Restaurant

I’m going behind the counter at a local family owned Japanese Ramen shop, Kakitagawa Hibari. This hole in the wall, through the corridor, would never know it even existed, hidden Japanese ramen shop is exactly why I love doing these videos. The shop was originally opened in Shizuoka and relocated to Ebisu at the start of 2021. The shop had a fairly quiet start but quickly picked up a reputation and these days more often than not has a line out the door. The shop uses a special blend of 5 unique kinds of miso paying careful attention to not add heat until just before combining it with the soup to preserve the miso’s flavor, a distinct saltiness paired perfectly with the sweetness from the pork back fat creating their signature bowl of ramen. The shop uses noodles from Kaikarou, a specialized Asakusa based noodle producer. The noodles itself are made from a blend of 2 types of flour and Tapioca to create its characteristic spring texture and sweetness, pairing perfectly with the shop’s strong and rich miso soup.

I don't think I'll ever get tired of this series. It's fascinating watching people do what they love and do it well, but the people themselves are also always interesting and keep me coming back.
-
Paolo getting the comedy chef to do random things was hilarious 😂
-
Little places like that really are neighbourhood gems. I think that, especially in big cities like Tokyo, visitors from overseas tend to miss out on these family-run places in favour of the more accessible-looking chain restaurants. (But they are really missing out!) Thanks for showing this kind of authentic Japanese awesomeness, Paolo. 🍻

9:05 Can't believe you actually got him to dance for the camera lol
-
The quick cut from the comedian chef refusing to dance to the next frame of him dancing had me choking🤣
-
There is something incredibly beautiful about a simple ramen shop run by a husband and a wife alongside a young apprentice. Feel like stuff like this can't be seen in the west anymore (or at least not in my country).
-
I turned 36 a few weeks ago, and seeing how the owner made a change around the same age makes me think I really should go through with a career change. Hope they continue to be successful!
-
The chef has it all. A successful ramen shop, a job that he loves and a beautiful wife. Congrats to him!
-
行った事がありますが本当に美味しかったです。 今までの味噌ラーメンとは違って不思議な美味しさですよ。お店も綺麗でスタッフさんも感じが良くて良かったです。また行ってたべたいです。ありがとうございます。🙇

Never seen anyone more dedicated to Ramen, I bet the food here absolutely slaps
-
I had ramen there today for my last day in Japan, and it was delicious. The comedian is an amazing cook as well
-
I love the way customers express themselves. You can really feel their appreciation and love for the dish and the work needed to prepare it.
-
the dedication to produce such quality food.i'm amazed.
-
I love these "behind the counter" videos, everyone's food looks so good 😋
-
The comedian chef has a realy upbeat personality XD
-
My man got the cleanest moved I’m dying 💀 I love his dance Fr
-
I ordered the sponsor box for a year for our office, and my team loves when it comes. It’s the real deal and it’s so much fun.
-
I still want to see a day in the life of a Japanese reporter/journalist. Japanese culture is so structured and so polite, I just can't imagine a Japanese journalist aggressively going after a story or chasing down a source.
-
That's one of the most freshly made ramen broth I've ever seen and the staff are amazing. Love the comedian guy! lol And the presentation is gorgeous! Would definitely consider going here if I ever do visit Tokyo for ramen.
