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!

I 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!

Jennifer: 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:
Maruchan Inc.
15800 Laguna Canyon Rd.
Irvine, CA 92618
(949) 789-2300-Phone
(949) 789-2350-Fax

Hello, 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.

Ramen Road Scholar: your site is great! And I will definitely ask you for recommendations the next time I’m in Asia!

Hello! 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.

Hello - I’m writing from a profile and obituaries programme
for 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!

Ramen, miracle food…
Ramen inventor, Momofuku Ando, died last Friday at the ripe old age 96. (Yahoo story) That's older than any US president has lived. Maybe the instant ramen has more nutritional value than we previously thought.Regardless of what you think of rame…

Hi,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!
January 18th, 2007 at 5:09 pm
You 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!!!
Long 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!

January 20th, 2007 at 9:58 pm
Matt 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!

rameniac: thanks as always. Everyone, go check out rameniac.com for more ramen reviews. There’s no such thing as too much ramen!

Thanks 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!
July 31st, 2007 at 8:43 am
This site is great! I love ramen… keep up the great work
August 20th, 2007 at 11:54 am
So 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.
September 11th, 2007 at 7:04 am
Great site. We’ve added to the ramen directory.
September 21st, 2007 at 8:04 pm
I am loving your website! Please continue sharing your love for ramen..
