Well, we did it boys, on this episode, I sit down with the legend himself, Keizo Shimamoto. To many aspiring ramen chefs, Keizo is considered one of, if not the best ramen chef in America. His passion for ramen is unrivaled and his dedication to the pursuit of ramen is truly inspiring. Many outside of the world of ramen know him as the creator of the viral sensation the ramen burger, but to bill him just as that, is really selling him short of what he truly is. In Japan he would be considered a shokunin. A craftsman who dedicates his life to the pursuit of excellence in one specific field. Think of the Jiro from Jiro dreams of sushi. like that but the ramen version of that.
This was a challenging interview for me to do just because of the sheer amount of things I wanted to talk about and ask him. We went for 2 and a half hours and I still felt I had so many more things that we could have covered. In this episode we cover Keizo's history with ramen until this point and his philosophy and advice for making good ramen.
