about
I like ramen! I’m not a connoisseur and I’m not much of a writer, but I know what I like and this is my attempt to describe the what and why of my encounters with the ramen world. Some of you may agree with my reviews, and some of you may disagree. Either way, please feel free to leave a comment. I welcome your opinions!



sweet site!
1This is awsome!
2Edjusted, great site. how to email you? Emailme. Got soy saunce story for your ramen blog…
3This is the BEST ramen webiste!! Edjusted is the BEST ramen guru!! I would love to have ramen with you sometimes!!
4I have a very important ramen question —
My favorite type of Ramen is Maruchan Ramen Tomato. I was only able to ever find it in Phar Mor stores – until they went under in 2001. Do you know if a. they still make it, and b. where I can get it.
I’ve tried web searching and have found nothing.
It is the BEST ramen ever– I can’t find it ANYWHERE!
5Jennifer: I’m not sure where you live, but you could try different “asian” supermarkets. Down in southern California, they were available at the 99 Ranch stores a while ago. I bought a few packs and liked it! Or maybe you could try the folks at noodle son or ramen depot (you’ll find the links under my “ramen links” and “ramen shopping”)
Also I found this:
6Maruchan Inc.
15800 Laguna Canyon Rd.
Irvine, CA 92618
(949) 789-2300-Phone
(949) 789-2350-Fax
I too love Maruchan tomato ramen but one day they all just dissapered like it was never there I live in michagan and was able to buy it at one of the super markets but now I can hardly even find a referance about it on the net do you know of any any at all sites that would sell this PLEASE help me
7Hello, Another ramen blogger here.
There are a lot of “raw” nama-ramen that are instant ramen but the noodles are not dried and taste much closer to the real thing. They will deliver the ramen in dry ice, I think they deliver overseas… Here’s a link:

Email me if you are even in Japan, China or Taiwan. I can give you a must try ramen list.
8Ramen Road Scholar: your site is great! And I will definitely ask you for recommendations the next time I’m in Asia!
9Hello! I LOVE your site.
One of the things I miss most about Japan is the food. I grew up there, and so a big part of me is missing without that wonderful food. I live in SoCal and have been on a witchhunt for some authentic ramen and I found this site linked from wikipedia. Thank you for creating this site!!!
I had some good ramen at this little vendor in the fashion district in L.A. (not the high end fashion district) and I was surprised by how good it was!! I don’t remember how to get back there, though. It was in a big supermarket-kind of place among Mexican food vendors and such.
10hey you must be all fatened up! eating all that ramen XD
11great to see another ramen fan out there! i just launched my ramen website recently. would you like to do a link exchange? happy holidays and all best!
12Hey great blog! Keep checking in. Love Shinsengumi. Just thought you’d wanna know about the news about the inventor of instant noodles on my blog (link) keep up the great work! -haj
13Hello – I’m writing from a profile and obituaries programme
14for the BBC in London.
We will be proofiling the late Momofuku Ando this week.
I was wondering if we could interview about your noodle obsession!?! And what noodles mean to you. Only a ten minute interview over the phone – not live.
Please post a reply on your noticeboard. Thanks!
Hi Mariam, I would be honored to be interviewed. Could you please send an e-mail to bbc@ramenramenramen.net and we can make arrangements that way? Thanks!
15Hi,I read about this site in an story on ramen in the SF Chronicle today! Interesting website!! There are a few ramen places here in the Bay Area (besides the one you reviewed in Berkeley) and I hope you eventually come up here to try those too!
16You are ridiculous…but I love it.
I grew up in the States, but live in Tokyo now. I too am a huge ramen fan. If you ever go to Tokyo you have to try a black sesame Tan Tanmen place in Azabu-Jaban. UNREAL!!!
17Long live Ramen……
and next time you have gyoza, instead of soy sauce, try mixing some fresh lime juice and white pepper together.
Cheers, great site!
lol ed, i was wondering why all my traffic today was coming through your page. then a friend just forwarded me the SF article. congrats man! everybody buy a lapel pin from this guy, stat! =P
18Matt V: thanks! What’s the name of the place in Azabu-Jaban? Every time I’m in Japan, my head spins from all my ramen choices!
19rameniac: thanks as always. Everyone, go check out rameniac.com for more ramen reviews. There’s no such thing as too much ramen!
20Thanks for checking out my site and adding it to your ramen links!! I may organize a GO RAMEN! Run in a month or so. I’ll post the details soon but here’s a hint: it has nothing to do with running and a lot to do with eating ramen!
21This site is great! I love ramen… keep up the great work
22So what’s the concensus on best instant ramen, not the bowl/cup ones that you pour water in?
And are there really any good “healthy” ones (ie not fried)? Non-fried ones just don’t taste good.
23Great site. We’ve added to the ramen directory.
24I am loving your website! Please continue sharing your love for ramen..
25I want to say thank you for this website. I was looking for some information about a Ramen co. and stumbled here, and the funny thing is one of the post had it. adjusted posted the info for Jennifer.
I also would like to say I LOVE RAMEN !!!!!! I eat it everyday,(sometimes more then once LOL) It,s been the only food that doesn’t set my bad gallbladder off in a tis. So thanks again.
26Pretty cool. Made me crave for some noodles. That’s it.
*off to the nearest convenience store.
