Ramen Culture in JAPAN
When you travel to Japan, I recommend you to go to various Ramen noodle restaurants.
You might think, “Ramen noodle is not Japanese food, but Chinese food”.
But I think Japanese Ramen noodles is more unique and in more variety than Chinese ones (I have lived in China for 1 year).
Soups and ingredients are different in Japan according to the each region.
It is interesting to compare the taste difference of noodle. Please enjoy making comparison!
I like to have Ramen noodle for lunch or dinner. But the noodle is very delicious after enjoying drinking alcohol at Izakaya Bar (It is not good for your health, though…)
