Arrived in Kumamoto safely. Big bowl of local ramen waiting for me at the shop near my hotel :) I will be setting up a live stream for patrons in a couple of days. I am so very thankful for your support!!! Means a lot to me out here on the road.

As always, thanks for the reply! I thought that appeared to be a big piece of pork in there. Very nice looking comfort food. Perfect for a rainy Spring day, no doubt! :-)

I'm not entirely sure on everything. They added extra stuff to the broth. It's Tonkotsu (pork bone) thick broth with some extra. The toppings are pretty usual including that onsen tamago :)

Ernest H I noticed that too, actually! I initially typed in Only in Japan TV with no results, and found him by typing in his name (John Daub).

Hi, John! So glad you made it safe and sound. That Ramen looks very hearty! What's in it, if I may ask?

Hi John, it's Firestar1728 here from YT, finally found you on here, thanks for the updated link. Have set up a little pledge so me and my UK friends can enjoy learning more about Japan. Stay safe and have fun, Joanne.

Hey John, I note you've mentioned in your video Patreon "onlyinjapantv". However, your page is "onlyinjapan" without the "tv". Thought you should know!
