So I'm back with another behind the counter and this time we are in a suit and I'm taking you to a special one.

所以我又帶著另一個在櫃檯後面的人回來了，這次我們穿著西裝，我帶你到一個特別的地方。

This one is a local miso ramen shop that's run by a husband and wife.

這家是當地的一家味噌拉麵店，由一對夫妻經營。

I just love being able to show you these pockets of japanese life.

我只是喜歡能夠向你展示這些日本生活的片段。

But before I take you inside, if you guys want to see what I'm doing on the daily check on my instagram account, if you guys wanna help with the channel, then definitely check out my Tokyo and Japan merch.

但在我帶你們進去之前，如果你們想看看我每天在做什麼，請到我的instagram賬戶上查看，如果你們想幫助這個頻道，那麼一定要看看我的東京和日本商品。

We just gotta wait.

我們只是要等待。

So today I'm going behind the counter at Ramen ka Kitagawa, everybody.

所以今天我要去拉麵館北川的櫃檯後面，各位。

Just a three minute walk from Tokyo's Jr Ebisu west exit and literally right in front of the Ebisu hippie a line subway exit for this hole in the wall through the corridor would never know it even existed.

從東京的小惠比壽西面出口步行只需三分鐘，而且簡直就在惠比壽嬉皮士一線地鐵出口的前面，這個穿牆的洞永遠不會知道它甚至存在。

Hidden.

隱蔽。

Japanese ramen shop is exactly why I love doing these videos and there he is the owner of the shop.

日本拉麵店正是我喜歡做這些視頻的原因，他就是這家店的老闆。

He usually is the first one to arrive in the morning.

他通常是早上第一個到達的人。

The shop was originally opened in Shizuoka and relocated to Ebisu at the start of 2021.

該店最初開在靜岡，2021年初搬遷到惠比壽。

It had a fairly quiet start but quickly picked up a reputation and these days more often than not has a line out the door.

它有一個相當安靜的開始，但很快就有了名氣，這些天來，經常有人在門外排隊。

Oh he's preparing one of the several charts you used in the ramen.

哦，他正在準備你在拉麵中使用的幾個圖表中的一個。

This is the chicken breast tissue.

這是雞胸組織。

So is there anything special about the meat you use?

那麼你使用的肉有什麼特別之處嗎？

Okay, you've got my attention after slicing the meat, he goes over each slice and trims the edges to make it perfect.

好吧，你引起了我的注意，在切完肉後，他翻看每一片，修剪邊緣，使其完美。

What did you do before opening the shop restaurant?

在開商店餐廳之前，你是做什麼的？

Apparently he met his wife around this time but shall motivate him to pursue a more stable career path.

顯然，他在這個時候遇到了他的妻子，但應促使他追求一個更穩定的職業道路。

He started his ramen career at a miso ramen shop in Ginza called Dome is so after only studying for 10 months, he was able to get the owner's permission to start his own ramen shop using similar ingredients and techniques but of his own creation.

他在銀座一家名為Dome的味噌拉麵店開始了他的拉麵生涯，所以在只學習了10個月之後，他就能得到店主的許可，開始自己的拉麵店，使用類似的原料和技術，但卻是他自己的創造。

That's a lot of eggs.

那是一個很大的雞蛋。

They used about 80 to 100 eggs every day and he usually cooked it before the store gets busy.

他們每天大約用80到100個雞蛋，他通常在商店忙起來之前就把它煮好。

A lot of things need to happen all at once in a short period of time.

很多事情需要在短時間內一下子發生。

So it's important to manage his time efficiently.

所以有效地管理他的時間是很重要的。

Was it tough to get permission to open your own shop?

獲得許可開自己的店很難嗎？

So what happened?

那麼發生了什麼？

Apparently he offered to work from early morning until late at night, even at a lesser wage compared to other staff to prove to the owner of his commitment to learning how to craft beautiful ramen with the goal to eventually get the owner's blessing to start his own shop.

顯然，他提出從早到晚工作，甚至以低於其他員工的工資來向老闆證明他致力於學習如何製作精美的拉麵，目的是最終得到老闆的祝福，開辦自己的店。

Oh, that's the pork shoulder cashew.

哦，那是豬肩腰子。

Look at that deep coloring.

看看那深沉的色彩。

I could just eat that alone.

我可以只吃這個。

The shop uses pork back fat in their miso ramen, which adds to the already thick soup.

該店在味噌拉麵中使用了豬背脂肪，這使本來就很濃的湯汁更加濃郁。

So he chooses to use a leaner pork shoulder to balance out the bowl.

所以他選擇用較瘦的豬肩肉來平衡這碗飯。

Okay, now he's starting the soup prep although the delivery for the bone and meat ingredients haven't arrived yet.

好了，現在他開始準備喝湯了，雖然骨頭和肉的材料還沒有送來。

Today he preps a soup as much as he can.

今天，他儘可能多地準備了一份湯。

So it's ready for when the ingredients arrive.

是以，當原料到達時，它已經準備好了。

Wow, that's a lot of say a buddha, also known as pork back fat.

哇，這是一個很大的說菩薩，也被稱為豬背脂肪。

This is used specifically for finishing off the ramen soup.

這是專門用於完成拉麵湯的。

That's in the ramen.

那是在拉麵裡。

No wonder why it tastes so good.

難怪它的味道這麼好。

What's the difference in the pots?

鍋裡的東西有什麼區別？

What's in there?

那裡面有什麼？

I don't give a simple, it's good there.

我不給一個簡單的，那裡很好。

What's your statement?

你的聲明是什麼？

So the shop uses a soggy tashi method to prepare its soup, which means that it continually adds new crafted soup to the existing one.

是以，該店採用蘇式塔什的方法來準備湯，這意味著它不斷地在現有的湯中添加新的工藝湯。

Quite a common technique for many japanese ramen shops.

這是許多日本拉麵店的常用技術。

Oh, that's kombu kelp water which is using one of their popular menu items.

哦，那是昆布海帶水，這是用他們受歡迎的菜單之一。

It's came in a dipping ramen.

它是在蘸水拉麵中出現的。

In fact help is an integral part of japanese cuisine commonly used in home cooking as well as michelin restaurants.

事實上，幫助是日本料理的一個組成部分，通常用於家庭烹飪以及米其林餐廳。

What's the most popular ramen here?

這裡最受歡迎的拉麵是什麼？

So how did you decide on the menu?

那麼你是如何決定菜單的呢？

Apparently in japan these days.

顯然，這些天在日本。

Miso ramen is not as popular as it once was, but rather japanese are trending towards more light, elegant and chic versions of ramen, which is why Murata san also created his own signature kelp water ramen which was naturally a hit by the way?

味噌拉麵已經不像以前那樣受歡迎了，相反，日本人正趨向於更清淡、優雅和別緻的拉麵，這就是為什麼村田桑也創造了自己的招牌海帶水拉麵，順便說一下，這自然是一個熱門話題？

Are there any secrets that you can share about the ramen industry over?

有什麼關於拉麵行業的祕密可以分享過來嗎？

Oh, it seems like the noodles have been delivered the shop.

哦，看來麵條已經送到店裡了。

He's the same dough miso noodles from kaikoura, a specialized Asakusa based noodle producer.

他是來自kaikoura的同樣的麵糰味噌面，這是一家位於淺草的專門面條生產商。

The noodles itself are made from a blend of two types of flour and tapioca to create its characteristic springy texture and sweetness, pairing perfectly with a sharp, strong and rich miso soup.

麵條本身是由兩種麵粉和木薯混合製成的，以創造其特有的彈性質地和甜味，與尖銳、強烈和豐富的味噌湯完美搭配。

Nice.

不錯。

The other chef and his four month pregnant wife have arrived.

另一位廚師和他懷孕四個月的妻子已經到達。

How's the pregnancy going?

懷孕情況如何？

Murata son's wife takes care of their toddler in the morning then works at the shop to greet and serve customers while also doing other tasks like visiting the bank to get change.

村田兒子的妻子在早上照顧他們的幼兒，然後在店裡工作，迎接和服務客戶，同時也做其他工作，如去銀行取零錢。

Yeah.

是的。

Now that the other chef is here, Pattison steps out for a quick visit to the neighboring shrine since the shop is relatively new in the area, he prays here to the local god every day to receive its blessing.

現在另一位廚師來了，帕蒂森走出去，去附近的神廟看了看，因為這家店在當地比較新，他每天都在這裡向當地的神禱告，接受神的祝福。

那麼在這之前你是做什麼的？

Thank you so much dot can you tell me a joke that was perfect.

謝謝你，點點你能告訴我一個完美的笑話嗎。

Oh great timing.

哦，好時機。

The meat delivery is here.

送肉的來了。

The delivery consists of various meats using the soup such as game katsu, pork bones, chicken bones and pork feet.

外賣包括使用各種肉類的湯，如野味卡司、豬骨、雞骨和豬腳。

All these ingredients are combined based on the shop's own ratio and slow cooked throughout the entire day to produce its own unique signature broth?

所有這些成分都根據該店自己的比例進行組合，並在一整天內慢速烹調，以產生其獨特的招牌肉湯？

So what do you like about this job?

那麼你喜歡這份工作的什麼呢？

Did you ever think that you'd run a ramen shop when you were a kid before meeting her husband?

你有沒有想過，在遇到她丈夫之前，你小時候會開一家拉麵店？

She worked as an aesthetician as well as helping with accounting for her uncle's company.

So, although the shop is tucked away from view from the main street, Murata san says that it's not as big of a deal compared to many years ago when shops relied heavily on foot traffic these days.

是以，儘管該店隱藏在主要街道的視野之外，但村田桑說，與多年前相比，現在的商店主要依靠人流，這並不是什麼大問題。

Experience the internet and social media traffic will ultimately uncover even the most hidden spots.

有著名的，所以在午餐和晚餐之間，該店並不像許多其他日本餐館那樣關閉，但他們利用較慢的時間加快腳步洗碗和清潔。
