FBI Ramen

先月は松代の「男気ラーメン」に行きました。渋い外観にカウンターの内側の格好良いお兄さんにごつい豚骨ラーメン。

その後、佐久市の文蔵と言うラーメンさんに行ってみた。渋い外観にカウンターの内側の格好良いお兄さんにごつい豚骨ラーメン。その上に、お兄さんのラーメン作りは半分パフォーマンスで掛け声で盛り上がっていました。

そして、週末に上田市の話題になっているF.B.I.と言うラーメン屋さんに行ってみた。噂通り、30分待たされた。それぐら人気がある。渋い外観、格好お兄さんたち(格好お姉さんも一人いた)、ごつい豚骨ラーメン。なおかつ、その掛け声。(後で分かったけど、FBIと文蔵が兄弟店です。)

現代ラーメンのトレンドはお分かりでしょうか?

As reported earlier, last month I went to 'Otoko-gi' (Man-Spirit) Ramen in Matsushiro. Cool, dark exterior with a stylish dude behind the counter making the noodles, and thick pork-based soup for the noodles.

More recently, I checked out Bunzoh Ramen in Saku City. Again, a cool, dark exterior with a stylish dude behind the counter making the noodles, and thick pork-based soup for the noodles. This time with the staff shouting out 'Seei' in time with the noodle chef's antics.

And last weekend, it was time for F.B.I. Ramen in Ueda City. I had heard the place is so popular you have to wait a half an hour for your ramen. We waited. And it was worth it. More of the same -- cool, dark exterior with a stylish dude (this time, a cool chick) behind the counter making the noodles, and thick pork-based soup for the noodles. And more 'Seei'. I found out later that Bunzoh and FBI are part of the same 'junk noodle' syndicate.

So, do you get an idea of what today's trendy ramen is like?
