NARUTO - a popular japanese manga in Japan uses ramen as its trademark food. I always saw Naruto eat ramen before he begin his quests. Ramen is a short typical noodle meal exceedingly popular in Japan. It is what is called more than just a quick meal. It was originated in China in 1800s and was brought to Japan. It is the staple dish of Japanese and a new cultural phenomenon. There are many ramen towns and popular ramen shops in Japan. Not to mention, Tokyo is the most famous city for most of the Ramen shops in Japan.
Ramen shops in Tokyo compete with each other for their uniqueness in noodle, soup ingredients and toppings. Japanese roam around and get their favorite type of Ramen. Most of the Ramen shops in Tokyo are of open kitchen style with counter only seats. In these types of shops, there is only one person who performs all the functions like cooking, serving and collecting money. Such a person is so enjoyable to watch for his or her rhythmical movement while cooking.
Ramen noodles come in usually flat, fat, thin, and ribbon-like sizes. They can also be straight or wrinkled with yellowish hue. They are always served in a hot broth flavored with miso or shoyo and toppings like beef, seafood, chicken, spring onions and seaweed.
This unique dish is so popular that different regions in Japan have themed their variations based on their geographic origin. Corn-butter Ramen in Sapporo and Tonkotsu Ramen in Kyushu are the two examples. There are four popular types of ramen, such as Miso Ramen, Shio Ramen, Shoyu Ramen and Tonkotsu Ramen.
In Japan, most of the Ramen shops have a vending machine. You can choose a dish from the picture menus exhibited inside the shop and buy a ticket on the machine.
Tokyo Station, one of the main points for the shinkansen to stop, is the hot spot of many people. Many people who visit here stop to eat in authentic restaurants like Ramen shops. However, the way ramen is prepared and served, these shops look simple in the streets of Tokyo, but it is the serving quality that ultimately determines their success and uniqueness
