    I don’t get it.

    Some of the best ramen I’ve had came out of a cup. When I was at sea, it was a little bit of comfort after a cold night feeling very much alone and overwhelmed.

    At the same time I’ve had great ramen at sit down places with friends and family.

    I was talking to my roommate about a ramen restaurant, and he scoffed and said “Ramen restaurant? Who the fuck had that bright idea?!”

    It turns out he thought that all ramen was instant. Like you walk into the restaurant, sit down, and they serve you some noodles in a cup.

    I like “real ramen”.

    Whatever you’ve made, thats fake stuff. You got the pot of noodles? Wrong. You got the packet? Wrong. You got the fresh stuff made yourself with all the trimmings? Wrong.

      Not all “real” ramen has miso. There are so many different styles of traditional ramen, with different regions in Japan doing things differently. My favorite is a nice tonkotsu ramen, which is made with a broth of only boiled pork bones. Topped with scallions, crispy garlic flakes, kikurage, fried pork belly, chili/sesame oil, and a soft boiled egg. It’s super tasty.

      I also eat instant ramen of course, both are tasty.
