Currently in Japan and enjoying it a lot. Thanks for all the food tips.

I am looking for Weipaa, as I want to being some home. I haven't found any in conbinis so I probably need to check a proper grocery store. Any tips what grocery store names I could look up in Tokyo, Hrishima or Fukuoka?

“OK store” is a grocery chain I’ve gone to during trips when we wanted more choice than the combinis offer, glancing at google maps there’s a decent amount throughout Tokyo. What part of the city are you staying in?

Ramen! Without going through a hundred pages (sorry) do y'all have a good starter ramen recipe?

Do you have a particular style you’re hoping to replicate? Ramen can be pretty diverse. That said, I made a shoyu ramen I went into details in the dinner thread pretty recently that I thought was fairly simple prep for the soup side of things.

From the ramen subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ramen/comments/blrqdd/homemade_next_on_my_tour_of_ramen_styles_newwave/

For the base, simmer chicken backs in equal parts water skimming off any scum. When scum stops forming or you’re sick of doing it, I pressure cooked for 20 minutes followed by natural release, the thread calls out cooking times without a pressure cooker. When this is done discard chicken bits and let cool in the fridge so you can skim off the schmaltz and save it.

The tare is 9:1 soy sauce:mirin (I made half the recipe in the link and still have a lot), and to assemble a bowl it’s 1 tbsp schmaltz, 3 tbsp tare, then 350ml broth. Top with another 1tbps of the schmaltz.

I had about 1.5kg of chicken backs to start with and got about 4 bowls worth of broth and schmaltz.
