In the Ramen Hunter annual tradition,  we get Frank from 5AM Ramen and Brian of Ramen Adventures back on the pod to discuss the Ramen Walker 2024 Tokyo guide. This is the 15th edition of the Ramen Walker Tokyo Guide, and there are some new things to check out in this issue. First we get to hear about Brian's recent Germany/Poland trip. He brought some well regarded Ramen Masters to run pop-ups out there, so we get some cool stories. We also touch on Ramen Festival season and highlight some that are happening now, or coming up. The guys break down the Ramen Walker 2024 Tokyo issue. Frank and Brian touch upon some recent trends and new shops highlighted in the Walker. We also run through the annual Grand Prix and New Rookie lists. Do you agree with the rankings? Who would you put in?
