Another one of these posts.

I decided to use my Christmas break to cross off a bunch of bucket list bowls. I had only a week of time (23rd to 29th) to do this, and would be visiting Tokyo, Kanagawa, Fukushima, and Hokkaido. It was a pretty ambitious itinerary, and I was able to do it by choosing not to eat other types of food.

This time I actually didn't really cheat and included aedama in the pic (or spaghetti), and had 25 bowls at 25 separate restaurants. I technically had one aedama too and could have included it in lieu of a restaurant here that technically isn't a ramen focused restarurant. Full list of ramen shops in the comments, perhaps you can figure out a bit of a theme behind the shops I chose (especially early on).

  4. In one week man? I’m jealous. I was there for two and only ate like 6. Lol

  5. I have tried something like this a few times, never once had I made it beyond 2 days/5 bowls. I enjoy ramen, but evidently not that much

    You have no idea what sodium is and what it does to the body don’t you?

  7. False-Requirement-31

    7days usually equals 21 meals if you’re doing breakfast, lunch and dinner. 25 bowls of ramen. Impressive!!

  8. Please tell me you didn’t drink all the soup too

  9. Random question, but what app did you use to create this collage?

    25 bowls in a week is diabolical work… that being said, beautiful collage

    What’s the best ramen broth you’ve ever had? Im a broth lover and when i went i tried several different ramen and the most flavorful was ichiran but ive been told its not good. I went to the #2 spot for ramen in tokyo as per taobao and ichiran was still my favorite. #2 place definitely had much better meat and toppings flavor wise but I go for soup not toppings or noodles. I’m a bit of a weirdo when it comes to soups. 🥲 I want to find the best soup broth.
