ikemen at arms

by rameniac | 26 Aug 2011

Ikemen is now open. "What?" you say. The hot new thing to hit the Los Angeles slurping scene is a heavyweight that has thus far flown low, low, low under the radar, the product of one Sean Nakamura, yes, that one, he of Ramen California fame. When disquieting reports of Nakamura-san's mysterious abdication of the south Torrance throne began making the rounds last month, I was inundated with requests for more information, as if I alone had the inside track to all the noodlings-on in Tinseltown.

want to be on japanese tv?

by rameniac | 27 Feb 2007

Mariko Daicho is a producer at TV Tokyo. Apparently they want to film college students in the tri-state area eating instant noodles for a program on ramen in the United States. I doubt anyone from that area is really reading the site since I haven’t made my way over there yet, but I suppose i should put the word out!

This is what she said in the email:

Since instant ramen is very popular among college students, I would like to film and interivew some college students who eat instant ramen all the time. I would prefer to film in New York City. Do you know any college students in New York who would be willing to let us film at their house or college dorm eating ramen?  Could you possibly post on your blog my request for a ramen loving college student in the NYC area (NY-NJ-CT)?
My time frame is tight.  I’d need to complete filming by Friday, March 9th. 
I appreciate any help.
