Joined by Frank from 5AM Ramen to explore the different iterations of Taishoken, the legendary shop that is credited as the birthplace of Tsukemen. We break down Higashi Ikebukuro and Eifukucho versions of Taishoken. We also discuss the California branch of Taishoken and explain where it fits in the big picture. Be warned it gets quite nerdy at times. We also break down Episode 4 of Gyoretsu no Megami - Ramen Saiyuki, the Ramen Drama airing on TV Tokyo. How does one go about starting a Ramen shop on limited funds? Check out his episode to find out how.
