In late 2020, we hosted a “Taste of Japan” travel webinar with a few special guests including Frank from Tokyo Ramen Tours.
Interestingly enough, Ramen is a relatively new dish in Japan, being just over 100 years old.
The big four type of ramen include soy sauce ramen, salt ramen, tonkotsu (pork bones) ramen and miso (fermented soy beans) ramen. Which is your favourite? Have you tried them all?
Tourism in Japan showed incredible growth from 2012 to 2018. Of course everything has taken a big step back due to the pandemic, but its likely to return to a high growth industry once Japan reopens.
Frank outlines the current situation in Ramen restaurants in Japan in the post covid era.
Darina (CEO of Unique Japan Tours) discusses some of her views on ramen restaurants.
