From time to time, we’ll come across something equal parts weird and great here at Food Republic. Whether this is weirdly great, greatly weird or some combination of both, we’re pretty sure that you’ll share our amusement that there is a show on Japanese television dedicated entirely to exploring the ramen scene in New York City. The video, after the jump.

I Flew To Japan To Eat At The Jiro Restaurant

Tales from a Bourdainian food pilgrimage

May 3, 2013 12:02 pm

Grace Lee, who runs video promotions ops at Columbia Records and works with guys like Beyoncé and Juicy J, is a friend of my wife Tamar. If it isn’t clear, Grace is really damn cool. So we were having dinner one night at a Korean restaurant when she casually mentioned that she would be flying to Tokyo explicitly to eat at one of the Jiro Ono restaurants, the chef featured in the award winning documentary Jiro Dreams Of Sushi.

What To Eat: Lunch

Easier Sushi Lunch: Temaki

All the sushi without the mess, recipes included

Apr 22, 2013 11:31 am

I've addressed a lot of Japanese lunches in the past couple of years. The truth is, rice balls still need a rice ball mold, roe rice requires a trip to the Asian supermarket and you can't make made-up sushi rolls without a rolling mat. And sometimes training wheels in the form of saran wrap (and even then, sometimes they still fall apart). Temaki, however, doesn't require anything but your hands. Here are a few thoughts on making them for lunch.
