3:51 “Amazing service without needing eye contact” Introvert’s Paradise

For those wondering, unaware, or haven’t heard about the part at 3:16, there was an incident a few months ago involving three pranksters making a video about them licking a bottle of soy sauce at a sushi restaurant

The solo dining booths allow each person to fully immerse themselves in the experience and enjoy the flavor of the food itself without any outside distractions. In some instances, I'd rather go to a place like this during lunchtime instead of a crowded restaurant where you have to listen to annoying loud conversations from ppl sitting next to you. This is a relaxing, yet introverted dining respite. What a fantastic idea!

the paper at 10:29 has some funny text that isn't fully translated "However, our company representive was persistent in saying 'What if the toilet paper runs out anyway and inconveniences our customers?', so we've prepared a secret weapon. *In the small chance that the toilet paper runs out, rip this paper.*" (referring to the notice itself)

After a 10 hours shift, time to enjoy some relaxing food videos!

This is an introvert dream. I don't mind having to talk to order but it's nice that they have all the options in case you don't. Maybe you're just on a bad day, you don't want to talk much. Also the individual booth with the curtains is just... I can understand it can be claustrophobic for social people but for introverts it's just amazing. Absolutely no distractions!

From a service perspective, it's nice being able to just focus on crafting the best possible meals without having to do as much on the service end! A real win-win.

I have to say that between you and "Solo Travel Japan", I am adding Japan to my to visit list. No idea how soon I will make it or when, just that it is going to happen. Thank you.

Thank you for this video. I’ve seen a few UKposts videos set in various Ichiran locations, including this one, but none of them made me a part of the experience, from standing in line, to the instructions and visuals, to the new touch-screens for ordering. You never take anything for granted in your videos and answer so many unasked questions; in how you film and present what you’re experiencing to all of us, to the overlooked details and customs that someone living in a culture might take for granted when communicating with those not from that culture. Thank you for your awareness and understanding and for bringing us along with you. kindly, 🙏

I always love your videos. It makes me want to travel to these places more and more!

Sometimes when I’m eating dinner on my own or even with my sister, we’ll watch your videos. It gives us a sense of company or that we’re with you in those countries !

I've seen other videos of Ichiran but they didn't go into as much detail or show the wooden blocks (I was very curious about those when I saw them in another video). DB's attention to detail (and willingness to order all the items on the menu) is perfect. And all the toilet rolls made me laugh 😂

Japan is a really introverted country and its so refreshing and probably like a safe haven for some introverts. A place like this is so considerate. I can't wait to try this out in Japan.

What would happen if you have them the "it's noisy" board?

Thank you for this informative video. I watched many videos of this restaurant and nobody has explained what those little boards are on the right, how to order a second round and how you eat the soup using the spoon. ! Thank you again

This solo type of content is the BEST! Thanks!

At work watching this amazing meal while eating my lunch, amazing video!

Dancing Bacons never ceases to be awesome to me. Love the content you all manage to come up with, happy eating!! 💙

Thank you for taking us to Ichiran, great ordering, as usual! ⭐️

Wow..love it😍😍 This concept is perfect to eat alone in peace & really enjoy the deliciousness of the food🤩🤩

Thank you Bacons for another amazing video! The ramen looked beautiful

One of the main reasons for me to travel to Japan is for the amazing food I always see

I was in japan last may and im going again for the sakura season next march, i cried so hard watching this video. I miss the taste, the service, the whole atmosphere. Thank you for this video❤

I really like that you don't talk during your videos. I'll bet the restaurant appreciates it too. Thanks for your videos. They're very well done.

Japan is truly something else...

I'm going to have to get myself over there one day, the food looks so good

omg i wanna go to japan soooooo bad mainly for the food. i love how solo most of it is and i love how many themed places they have too. i just wish i had the money to go there and eat everywhere lol

It was another youtuber ( Mike Chen ) that got me curious for ichiran and since then i've made it my mission to share ichiran with as much friends as possible. It might be hyped and overpriced but taste it once and you know why the fans are there. Thank you for all your videos !!

I'm planning to take a trip to Japan in two years time. That ramen shop sold me on not just the ramen, but also the matcha pudding. Looks so good!

I hope i go to this beautiful country, Japan. I love the culture and they are so passionate about their work. I would love to come Japan and try every famous thing out there, especially ramen etc. I HOPE THAT someday i will be there in japan ❤

If I ever get to visit Japan, this will be one of my must-visits. Looks and feels comfy.

Blessing me on my day off 🫶🏽

The dreaded sushi licking scandal 😩 Love you DancingBacons!❤

I will give it to this guy, I have only seen a few of his videos, but in each one he eats enough for 3 people haha love it I have a large appetite too sometimes.

i love this channel so much

Wow! 2.2k views in 13 mins. Impressive. You are my hero!

Always a plus for a restaurant review to include a loo review!

Love this place, I’ve eaten at the exact location before and I adored it ❤

I thought you were gonna waste the ramen broth, but then I said to myself, " I've never seen this HUMAN waste ANYTHING!" And I was right. Nice way to utilize the extra broth👏👏👏👏 **So I changed the pronoun from MAN to HUMAN. We can all agree on that! Geez! And to the person who brought this up, life must be hard having to always be correct😩😫...... 🖕🏾😐

My social anxiety makes it so so hard to wanna go and eat out!!! I wished more restaurants had options like these!!!

Thanks for a very nice video about the most famous ramen vending machine restaurant 👍

glad that ichiran has become a really famous destination. would want to experience this someday

God that looks so good and satisfying. I want to try real ramen so bad

I'd love to try some authentic ramen!

I would spend all my money here every day🤣🤣🤣 i would get my picture on the wall! Thank you for sharing this! Adding it to my bucket list🥵

As someone who is really nervous about speaking to people in other languages its so cool so see this restaurant operate the way it does

Looks so Delicious 😋

its triggers me a lot that he did not clean the table with those egg shells xDDD

I've seen so many videos of this place, the food always looks so good. Luckily, I can actually try this because they have two restaurants in NYC.

Sometimes I wish I could travel there. It looks so cool there! Wish we had these kind of things in the U.S.

I WANT TO GO THERE ONE DAY

This is as close to the real experience I will get but I tell you if I could move to a small Japanese village, tend to my garden and then go have ramen everyday and lunch by the river yeah I'd be a very happy man ☺ this looks wonderful. I have really severe social anxiety but I do love going to have a nice meal by myself, I'd love to have one of these places in the states.

Always enjoy your videos, thanks. Is that a Street Fighter IC card you used to pay? How do I get one?

This video made me hungry. I want ramen!😩 (And the rice bowl you made looked good too🤤)

Man, I wish I could travel East Asia and try all this type of food

This makes me want to try Ichiran ramen, but here in the US it's only available in a few grocery stores.

...You made a mess with that eggshell. :-)

At first, I was confused by the prospect of a "vending machine restaurant" but that's actually really cool. Nice to see a place that's very considerate for people's social anxiety and/or shyness. Helps that the food also looks awesome.

As stated by Naruto, and subsequently proven in Dragon Ball: Super, Ramen *IS* the food of the gods!

I want an Ichiran in America so bad!!!

Omfg, i luv this channel so much

I went to this exact restaurant when I was on vacation in Japan 7 months ago. It's in Dotomburi in Osaka. It was quite good, but not the best ramen I've had. I did love the private booths, they felt comfortable and fun.

why are you shaking so much 😭😭

I've only ever been to the Ichiran in New York (Times Square), it was okay;. The friend I went with has been to several in Japan and the Causeway Bay Hong Kong one and was clearly disappointed in the US version.

love your vids man

to be honest guys, as an introvert person, i really like this place. i will enjoy the food by myself. also, if i have an extra money, not only the ramen i will order, maybe some other menu there. its a heaven to all introvert person.

Amazing video!! Thank you so much. I'd be in foody heaven here. I want to try that first ramen bowl and the matcha pudding!!! Love to visit Japan. Definitely first on my bucket list ❤

I hate being stuck here in Serbia.... I spent around three years in China and fell in love with Udon noodles, noodles in general, dumplings of all kinds. I even had Ramen at a Japanese restaurant there. :'( I miss all that.......

Love the concept.

I ate here 4 times when I was in Japan last month and brought SO many packs home with me. I also went to the vegan/beef one in Osaka which was *chef's kiss*

一蘭以外のラーメン屋にも行って欲しい。 天下一品、丸源ラーメン、ラーメン花月嵐、ラーメンショップ、町田商店、夢を語れ。 日本にはおいしいラーメン屋がまだまだあります。

great camera work and experience.

everything is so perfect in this video 🍜🍜

Everything about this is perfect

I love the blocks that communicate things without speech - as an autistic and socially anxious person I wish this was a more wide spread thing

Looks delicious and well worth the wait. 🤗👍

Truly a dream!! I hate going to restaurants by myself, I get super awkward and it totally ruins the experience for me. My back starts to hurt from turning around to see people staring at me and because weirdly enough, I forget how to sit straight I start to stress out

I'm super impressed by this. Dear lord just incredible. I'd be eating lunch here every day if i could.

1:02 that's quite an unusual way of holding a pen

hi sir /madam I love u r videos its very relaxing... Plz can u make more korean foods , or korean cvs or korean noodles packet videos ppz sir

I was just here at the beginning of the month. Best Tonkotsu ramen I have had so far, extra chashu please. ^___^*

Alright my friend this is a awesome video keep up the great work

I've seen this Ramen restaurant on a different channel. I hope that one day when I visit Japan I'll go there

I’ve only been to the ichirans in NYC, but I want to go in Japan so badly!!!

I have seen a ton of these videos now on youtube (not a bad thing, i love it!). Has the line for these places always been this long or have the youtubers helped the popularity of the restaurants?

Love listening to you slurp your food . So entertaining 🙄

The wooden tabs for people with social anxiety is so smart

that last shot through....someone has a sense of humor 😅🤣

Those communication sign blocks would be my dream! I get so anxious talking to people I don't know (yet I'm so talkative around well known friends and family and my boyfriend so no one would dream I'm like it)... I stumble and get afraid to ask. So I'd love for them to be a thing here in England!

The kind of restaurant i like, no eye contact, no need to speak and to freely choose what i want on my meal.

One of the best memories I have about visiting Japan was getting to eat at an Ichiran, the machine was still buttons and not LCD so if anything it was the OG experience, I want to go back so bad, loved every second of it, it was was easy to learn the concept of ordering as well as getting service without the need of actually interacting. The food was just soooo good. Anyone who visits Japan should have an Ichiran planned for the trip no matter the case !!!!

Bro this fr making me hungry and its 2am rn😭

This made me so hungry for real Ramen. Would love to go to a real Ramen shop like this.

One day I will be here also, enjoying the feast!

Watching this makes me want ramen! It's so good! 😋

Its almost 2 am for me and this is making me hungry

This looks so good!

brings back memories this is a new fangled automat

I've never tried ordering rice before! Looks yummy as well. Maybe I'll try that next time if I still have space in my stomach.
