Listen "28: Jake Vo | Jiro vs Butayama and How to Travel in Japan Without a Plan"

Episode Synopsis

Episode 28 of the Ramen in Japan podcast with my very special guest Jake Vo, who runs the Yume Wo Katare ramen shop in Boston.
We have an extraordinarily interesting discussion about his way of traveling without planning too far ahead, about his experience of eating at Ramen Jiro Mita and Ramen Jiro Meguro, as well as both of our opinions about how Jiro stacks up against the Jiro style ramen chain Butayama. We also get into the Yume Wo Katare summit in Japan he visited and the things he learned from his Japanese colleagues.
