From this podcast onwards, we will be starting a new segment called “The Specialist”.

「The Specialist」・・・

Tokyo is a melting pot of cultures, cuisines and technologies. In every episode, this talk show will feature a “specialist”, someone who has pursued their interest in a specific field to the extremes. These “specialists” will provide listeners with a deeper understanding of the various charms that Tokyo has to offer.

Developing independently from the original style, Japanese ramen has been in the limelight recently thanks to several restaurants being awarded a highly prestigious Michelin star. In our very first episode, we take a closer look at the intoxicating allure of Japanese ramen, which has been constantly evolving over the years.

Joining us today is Specialist Kazuaki Tanaka.

Mr.Tanaka has been a ramen enthusiast since college,

traveling all over Japan in his pursuit for the perfect bowl of ramen.

Averaging 700 bowls a year, he has had over 13,000 bowls of ramen to date.

Let’s hear what he has to say about the charms of ramen!
