I finally got to try Keizo Shimamoto’s ramen burger on Saturday at Smorgasburg! My friends and I got there at about 10:00AM and then got the burger at about 11:30AM. There were about 60 people ahead of us in line.

While we were waiting, a group of Japanese reporters interviewed Lisa. She jokingly said she drove all the way from Utah just to try the ramen burger. I hope I can find her interview online.

You can only buy one ramen burger per person and each person must be present. I was number 67.

The hamburger wrappers are really unique. They have pleats and kind of reminded me of a shower cap from a hotel.

Here is chef Keizo Shimamoto (in the backwards cap).

The grill wasn’t level so here are some of the staff members trying to fix it. I’m pretty sure they reserve the fatty drippings from the hamburgers to make the brown sauce that goes on top of the burger (along with scallions). Notice the long, long line in the background.

I love chef Yuji! I caught him taking a photo of a cod head boiling in a pot of broth. ^_^

He’s serving a new seasonal mazemen at his ramen shop at Whole Foods Bowery now, summer corn!

Chef Yuji has captured the flavors of Andalusian gazpacho and made them his own in this new mazemen, which will be available for only a limited time. I loved the chopped shiso on top!

Yuji Ramen

I had Yuji’s mazemen at Smorgasburg last September and immediately fell in love with the brothless noodles. Right now chef Yuji Haraguchi has a test kitchen at Whole Foods Market (Bowery) on Houston. The test kitchen is only going to be there for a few months until his restaurant opens in Williamsburg this summer.
