Yes, it is. My lady has one just like it. She also tells me that Unchikun is enjoying a renaissance of sorts in the Land of the Rising Sun right about now.

on thing I learned.............pc's and mac's have trouble communicating w/ each other using international character sets. It seems pc's won't recognize the way macs handle such fonts. I can im people in kanji or big5 (chinese) and it'll show up w/ other mac users, but not pc users.
This also goes for id3 tags in mp3's, I have the exact same problem.
I also don't think this msg board is coded to handle international fonts, that's why you get the ?????

sweet! sounds like you can point me to a few more vegetarian options...i usually go for the miso based ones and ask for no meat, or ive had this spicy bean and tofu one that is real good too.
yea thats what i thought too. but maybe there're many kinds/styles of tonkotsu ramen as well ? dunno...
i'm guessing chashu = shoyu i.e. roast pork in japanese? damn thats so much similar to how we say it in cantonese on the real. chashu in cantonese is roast bbq pork

hiya hiya hiya! chashu=char siu. one of the manny things the japanese tried to steal from china. actually ramen=lao mien and we all know who originated the noodle...archaic. but yeah,
im pretty sure there is only 1 type of tonkotsu as it describes the broth. shoyu ramen and miso ramen also describe the broth. there may be varieties dealing with the noodle, in fact, i seem to remember the noodles in tonkotsu being thinner or some such. but damn, tonkotsu gives me food coma cuz there's so much fat or something in it. of course, ive had butter ramen, and that shit lays me out too.
Tonkotsu broth is more popular in the north.......basically it is as described earlier, a broth based on pork bones. Shoyu is obviously soy sauce based and is a lighter version, popular in Tokyo. Vegetarian ramen is not really ramen, it's just a westernized version. Pretty much all authentic ramen will have broth based on pork, pork is KEY. Miso ramen is not just using miso soup as broth, it's miso combined w/ pork broth.
Pretty much all authentic noodles whether it be pho, wonton, udon or ramen will use bones for broth. That's the key to any stock, you're just not going to get that much flavour from just vegetables. That is the basis of cooking really, bones and stock.
Torrence got the ramen spots on lock for you LA dudes. Follow the salarymen.....

thanks for breakin it down like that.
with that being said do you know any places in la that make good westernized versions as well?
First off, there is NO real Ramen in North America. Some of the ramen here might be ok, but it's really all on some bullshit. REAL ramen must be eaten in Japan. Ramen is a HUGE part of Japanese culture and is taken VERY serious there. Every year there are big glossy books published that rank ramen shops and have locations of shops all over the country. There are THOUSANDS of ramen shops in Japan. There are frequent TV specials that go into every detail about making ramen and what shops are the best. If a ramen shop is not good, it will close because no one will eat there. Ramen in Japan is so serious that people will go to great lengths to eat at a well know shop. I have waited over two hours in line to eat at Taishouken in Higashi Ikebukuro, Tokyo. I also visited the Ramen museum in Yokohama and it was off the hook. I have eaten ramen at shops in Seattle, New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Vancouver, etc. ALL PRETTY WACK. Tonkotsu ramen is from the southern most main island in Japan, Kyushu. It gets its white color from boiling pork bones for a long period of time producing a think white colored soup stock. The noodles used in tonkotsu ramen are straight like spaghetti, unlike ramen noodles in the rest of japan. I hope eveyone can eat ramen at a good shop in Japan and experience the real deal!
People lined up in the rain to eat at Taishouken in Higashi Ikebukuro, Tokyo.
Bowl of chaushumen at Jiro Ramen in Mita, Minato-ku Tokyo. The ramen is SO serious there and the portions are SO big that I saw kids staggering out of the shop after eating.
the ramen museum in yokohama has been on my to do list for quite a while.........
yes Toronto is doo doo for ramen. Vancouver has one good spot called Kintaro........NYC is a bit better, but could still use some work. The two spots I like in ny are Minca and Chikubu (they serve shoyu ramen only on fridays). Although from all reports, shinsengumi is as good as it gets in n. america.
I guess next thing to recommend is for people to watch tampopo.....although there are some inaccuracies in that movie too.
as usual chan, I could count on you to chime in on this.
Ok! Apologies! Its not the Kotekote that is mad from pig bones, it's the Tonkotsu.
I dunno man... that shit is fatty as hell... I didn't dig it. In fact, I woke up in the middle of the night and vomitted it all up. Maybe my fault for drinking all the broth...
I've been feeling the Jigoku ramen lately... Jigoku means "Hell".
Spicy style... effin' delicious!
Peace...

word. Shinsengumi is the shit for Ramen in Torrance.
A good one in LA would be "Ramenya" on Olympic Blvd. The Tenshinmen at that place is the BOMB!

what is up funkyearthworm.
Tucked into some today and now I got Miso Chashu sitting in the belly right now here in Minato-Ku.
I think kotekote can mean something like "the epitome of" in a metaphorical sense, or "super-thick" in a literal sense:
That girl puts her make-up on kotekote[/b]. Shits melting off.
That guy is kotekote[/b] kansai-guy. He's talks so fast.
So, in regards to your book of rare-groove records, it probably just meant super thick funk, the epitome of the sound, type of deal.
...is my guess.
