Join the TOKYO EXTRA team with Brian, an international ramen expert, as he travels throughout Tokyo seeking the most tasty and extreme ramen choices. Brian shares his ramen selections with taste testers including Rina and Rena from AKB48.

In this video, Brian and Rina head to Azabu-Juban to find a typical Kyoto ramen shop, “Shinpukusaikan”.

They plan to try the popular chuka soba ramen, with its pitch black soy sauce-based soup and its mild chicken broth!

The dish can vary in taste with all the different condiments at diners’ disposal on the table, such as black pepper and garlic, or even karashi miso with its spicy taste!
