Highlights From J-Pop Peak 2016

Not dissimilar traveling to Nippon itself, this by weekend's J-Pop Summit,which combines food, culture, applied scientific discipline together with pop music from Japan. delivered a consummate sensory overload that made for 1 of the most immersive experiences this side of virtual reality. It's difficult to know where to start out to depict it equally words together with pictures exclusively scratch the surface. But, for me, the Ramen Summit amongst 8 booths serving their ain cause got on this foodie favorite was a major draw. 

The ramen on offering hither came inward together with hence many different styles that it was tough deciding but I went amongst a bowl of ramen from a real sucessful ramen store amongst three locations inward Tokyo that volition shortly go is opening upwardly inward Japantown. Hinodeya is the winner of the Nippon Ramen Awards for 2016 together with later on tasting their ramen, I tin encounter why. The dashi broth was much lighter but at the same fourth dimension real rich. The egg noodles were wider together with wavier than other ramen but however al dente. The acre of pork together with cooked egg were tender together with delicious. I'm looking frontwards to the opening of their shop! 

In add-on to the ramen at that spot was a booth offering takayaki, a form of savory octopus donut together with sushiwich, a form of sushi inward the shape of sandwich. Off the beaten path but good worth seeking it out, were delicious cups of udon noodles amongst spicy codfish roe. 

There was sake, beer, award-winning shochu together with depression alcohol peach together with grapefruit flavored cocktails to try. 

I’m non going to tell yous all most the applied scientific discipline (this is a nutrient weblog later on all)—but it was swell to cause got together with hence much that was interactive together with non simply on display. It seemed inward keeping amongst the playful together with hands-on nature of the festival. Likewise the virtual tour of Nippon inward the tourism expanse had to go experienced, but I did walk away amongst packets of bathroom salts made to resemble ramen soup(!) together with enough of brochures most less known regions of Japan. I'm piteous to nation I missed simply about of the music together with the drag queen contest, though I did encounter simply about of the contestants.   

Perhaps best of all was the music together with kookiness that is Japanese culture. If yous don’t know what I hateful you’ll simply cause got to banking enterprise jibe out this video.  Domo, Domo, Domo!

Until adjacent year!
