With over 1,000 bowls under (and over) his belt, Ramen Adventures’ Brian MacDuckson knows a thing or two about eating ramen. But how much does he know about cooking it? He stepped behind the counter at Gachi Ramen, a popular Shinjuku shop, to show us just how far he still has left to go.

He doesn’t quite burn himself, but he does struggle with the difference between rubbing noodles and tossing them. The result? Watch the video to find out!

In Japan since 2001, I'm a former ALT trainer who's lived in Shizuoka, Saitama and Tokyo, and visited 34 of Japan's 47 prefectures (13 to go!). When I can get out from behind the editorial desk, I take photos, do bits of theater and practice German longsword.
