Tonkotsu ramen is not necessarily fatty. In fact, it is not so fatty in Kyushu, where it was originated. In Tokyo, however, many ramen shops serve fatty versions of tonkotsu ramen, and some even sprinkle "seabura" (pork back fat) to make it even fattier.Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-78754326234834447452010-01-21T07:24:18.059+09:002010-01-21T07:24:18.059+09:00pink: Very interesting!

We also have terms such as the ones you described, in Taiwanese. I have no clue how to translate them into English, though. The "throat feel" in Taiwanese I would describe as "gam". We use "gam" to describe a variety of foods and drinks, such as soup and tea. There are no words in English, though, that I could use to accurately describe it.Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15790932725913110515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-90667128620223023722010-01-20T17:53:17.896+09:002010-01-20T17:53:17.896+09:00pink: In Japanese, we have some terms and express...pink: In Japanese, we have some terms and expressions describing texture that are hard to translate into English, such as:<br />Koshi ga/no aru (to have resilience; be resilient or elastic)<br />Nodogoshi (throat feel; feeling that a food gives to your throat when it goes down your throat)<br /><br />Do you know what is the most important habit about having ramen (and any other type of noodle)? Slurping! As you may know, any Japanese can slurp up noodles!Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-89741091563518473402010-01-20T16:58:15.483+09:002010-01-20T16:58:15.483+09:00Looks delicious!

When I eat ramen or any type of noodle soup, I have to eat the noodle immediately. I really dislike it when my noodles get soggy! In Taiwanese, we describe the chew as being "QQ". :)Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15790932725913110515noreply@blogger.com
