The amount of noodles also seems generally large

192
00:04:30.668 --> 00:04:31.818
A meal is substantial

193
00:04:31.818 --> 00:04:32.768
I personally think that

194
00:04:32.768 --> 00:04:34.418
- tomato is better
- Oh, really?

195
00:04:34.418 --> 00:04:35.768
- Interesting 
- How about you?

196
00:04:35.768 --> 00:04:37.568
I still prefer

197
00:04:37.568 --> 00:04:39.118
- the original taste 
- Oh, the classic one?

198
00:04:39.118 --> 00:04:40.368
Because actually

199
00:04:40.368 --> 00:04:41.568
- I'm not used to tomato 
- Oh, right

200
00:04:41.568 --> 00:04:42.568
Things like that

201
00:04:42.568 --> 00:04:44.118
And in Hong Kong

202
00:04:44.118 --> 00:04:45.568
even tomato macaroni

203
00:04:45.568 --> 00:04:46.868
- you said you didn't like it, right? 
- That's right

204
00:04:46.868 --> 00:04:48.668
Tomato seems to be something you either like or dislike

205
00:04:48.668 --> 00:04:50.468
And I think

206
00:04:50.468 --> 00:04:52.568
there aren't many Korean noodle dishes

207
00:04:52.568 --> 00:04:54.118
- with a tomato base
- That's right

208
00:04:54.118 --> 00:04:55.468
I think

209
00:04:55.468 --> 00:04:56.618
Japanese people

210
00:04:56.618 --> 00:04:58.218
have a ramen-eating culture

211
00:04:58.218 --> 00:05:00.368
that is similar to how we Hong Kong people

212
00:05:00.618 --> 00:05:01.868
after work eat mala noodles

213
00:05:01.868 --> 00:05:03.568
maixin culture

214
00:05:03.568 --> 00:05:04.618
- is similar
- Yes, it is

215
00:05:04.618 --> 00:05:06.668
Even here, you see

216
00:05:06.668 --> 00:05:08.568
couples, families,

217
00:05:08.568 --> 00:05:10.068
and many people who come alone

218
00:05:10.068 --> 00:05:11.418
So it's like that in Hong Kong too

219
00:05:11.418 --> 00:05:12.317
When you just want something simple

220
00:05:12.317 --> 00:05:13.867
to eat a meal

221
00:05:13.867 --> 00:05:15.517
it's a casual place you can come to

222
00:05:15.517 --> 00:05:16.867
Also, of course, in Hong Kong

223
00:05:16.867 --> 00:05:19.167
eating Japanese ramen is expensive

224
00:05:19.167 --> 00:05:21.317
But actually, mala noodles in Hong Kong

225
00:05:21.317 --> 00:05:22.967
- to us,
- Right

226
00:05:22.967 --> 00:05:24.867
- it's ramen to us
- Right, right

227
00:05:24.867 --> 00:05:25.567
In fact,

228
00:05:25.567 --> 00:05:27.767
[9,000-11,000 won] 
- you can manage with about 50-60 dollars 
- Right

229
00:05:27.767 --> 00:05:28.617
It's cost-effective

230
00:05:28.617 --> 00:05:29.467
Isn't it like a soul food

231
00:05:29.467 --> 00:05:31.267
- for Japanese people? 
- Yes, that's right

232
00:05:31.267 --> 00:05:33.267
Also, just like each region in our country has different

233
00:05:33.617 --> 00:05:34.867
kimchi

234
00:05:34.867 --> 00:05:36.417
and different doenjang

235
00:05:36.417 --> 00:05:38.117
ramen also varies by region

236
00:05:38.117 --> 00:05:39.167
and has its own characteristics

237
00:05:39.567 --> 00:05:40.567
I think they're different

238
00:05:40.567 --> 00:05:42.417
But we need to travel a bit more

239
00:05:42.417 --> 00:05:43.217
right

240
00:05:43.217 --> 00:05:45.267
to understand how they differ

241
00:05:45.267 --> 00:05:46.967
For now, we can only tell if it's tasty or not

242
00:05:46.967 --> 00:05:48.417
that's what we know

243
00:05:48.417 --> 00:05:50.417
So please subscribe to our Hong Kong Lunch

244
00:05:50.417 --> 00:05:52.417
Please subscribe

245
00:05:52.417 --> 00:05:54.066
But this set menu

246
00:05:54.066 --> 00:05:55.316
might be good

247
00:05:55.316 --> 00:05:56.516
- for our people
- Right

248
00:05:56.516 --> 00:05:57.416
- Because there's rice 
- Right

249
00:05:57.416 --> 00:05:58.516
And the amount of rice

250
00:05:58.516 --> 00:05:59.966
isn't small, actually

251
00:05:59.966 --> 00:06:01.716
They say it's mini size

252
00:06:01.716 --> 00:06:02.566
- But it's not
- Right

253
00:06:02.566 --> 00:06:03.616
there's also egg,

254
00:06:03.616 --> 00:06:04.766
and there's meat,

255
00:06:04.766 --> 00:06:06.166
there's also stir-fried kimchi,

256
00:06:06.166 --> 00:06:07.366
and there's seaweed on top,

257
00:06:07.666 --> 00:06:09.166
almost like our country's

258
00:06:09.166 --> 00:06:10.566
- kimchi fried rice, isn't it? 
- Right

259
00:06:11.316 --> 00:06:13.366
there's also sauce at the bottom,

260
00:06:13.366 --> 00:06:13.916
like this,

261
00:06:13.916 --> 00:06:15.266
- it's probably soy sauce?
- Yeah

262
00:06:15.266 --> 00:06:16.166
it's kind of like

263
00:06:16.166 --> 00:06:17.416
gyudon you eat in Japan,

264
00:06:17.416 --> 00:06:18.966
but the meat is just like the one

265
00:06:18.966 --> 00:06:19.716
that was in our ramen earlier,

266
00:06:19.716 --> 00:06:21.616
made with that kind of meat,

267
00:06:21.616 --> 00:06:22.716
It's delicious

268
00:06:22.716 --> 00:06:25.116
but since they use pork belly,

269
00:06:25.116 --> 00:06:26.516
it's a bit greasy

270
00:06:26.516 --> 00:06:28.666
[Tasting Gyoza]

271
00:06:28.666 --> 00:06:29.966
It tastes clean

272
00:06:29.966 --> 00:06:31.466
because the sauce is tangy, it's more delicious

273
00:06:31.466 --> 00:06:33.466
I think it would be really delicious with ramen

274
00:06:33.466 --> 00:06:35.065
and this gyoza,

275
00:06:35.065 --> 00:06:37.065
compared to other gyozas we've tried,

276
00:06:37.065 --> 00:06:38.415
seems to have less oil

277
00:06:38.415 --> 00:06:39.115
It's less greasy

278
00:06:39.115 --> 00:06:40.565
But compared to the place that makes delicious gyoza

279
00:06:40.565 --> 00:06:42.215
I don't think there's a big difference in taste

280
00:06:42.715 --> 00:06:44.315
So it seems delicious overall

281
00:06:44.315 --> 00:06:44.965
[All delicious]

282
00:06:44.965 --> 00:06:46.865
Today, too, I ate well and deliciously

283
00:06:46.865 --> 00:06:47.915
Today was a bit tough

284
00:06:47.915 --> 00:06:49.165
because the portion was too much

285
00:06:49.515 --> 00:06:50.565
But in the end, we won

286
00:06:50.565 --> 00:06:51.815
It really is the most delicious

287
00:06:51.815 --> 00:06:53.215
ramen place in Sannomiya

288
00:06:53.215 --> 00:06:53.865
Yes, right

289
00:06:53.865 --> 00:06:55.215
Tomato ramen is really..

290
00:06:55.215 --> 00:06:56.265
if you haven't tried it,

291
00:06:56.265 --> 00:06:57.615
at least once

292
00:06:57.615 --> 00:06:59.215
- I think you must try it 
- Right

293
00:06:59.215 --> 00:07:00.915
- It was really delicious
- Totally good

294
00:07:00.915 --> 00:07:01.965
I think it's worth eating

295
00:07:01.965 --> 00:07:02.465
The price was

296
00:07:02.465 --> 00:07:04.565
[26,000 won]
2,860 yen

297
00:07:04.565 --> 00:07:06.415
[13,000 won]
We ate ramen worth about 1,400 yen

298
00:07:06.415 --> 00:07:07.515
- per person
- Yes

299
00:07:07.515 --> 00:07:09.165
Those two are

300
00:07:09.165 --> 00:07:10.115
one of the four most popular

301
00:07:10.115 --> 00:07:11.115
ramen in this place

302
00:07:11.115 --> 00:07:12.165
Yes, that's right

303
00:07:12.165 --> 00:07:13.715
And actually, people usually

304
00:07:13.715 --> 00:07:15.865
don't order set menu

305
00:07:15.865 --> 00:07:17.264
But we had rice and

306
00:07:17.264 --> 00:07:18.764
- gyoza
- That's right

307
00:07:18.764 --> 00:07:19.864
So, from now on, in Kobe

308
00:07:19.864 --> 00:07:20.914
we'll find more delicious places

309
00:07:20.914 --> 00:07:23.064
and continue our journey

310
00:07:23.064 --> 00:07:23.964
Bye bye

311

HKL's three-line review〈ラーメンたろう 三宮本店〉

312
00:07:27.914 --> 00:07:29.914
1. Tomato ramen better than expected

313
00:07:29.914 --> 00:07:31.914
2. The class of taste befitting a main store

314
00:07:31.914 --> 00:07:33.914
3. Generous noodles and meat

315
