Ramen

Yesterday, I was craving Ramen. So, after work and on my way home, my wife and I went to a well-known Ramen restaurant. We were surprised to see dozens of people standing and waiting in line for the Ramen but it never discouraged us. Ramen is terrific for me.
 
Ramen is a Japanese word. It is a kind of noodles. I guess that it originated in China and was developed in Japan. Ramen is quite popular regardless of age and gender in Japan.

Ramen consists of three essential elements: noodles, soup, and toppings. These are generally served together in a single bowl, as shown in the picture - I took that yesterday.

In my opinion, the quality of Ramen is assessed by the combination of the three essential elements. The taste would be be undistinguished if each ingredient is excellent but the combination is awful.

Of course, we should remember that there is no accounting for tastes. Actually, between me and my wife, there were differences in rating of the Ramen we ate yesterday. There is no definite way to estimate Ramen. It is not book reviews or Internet ranking that counts. The point is, the best Ramen for you is one that you think the taste is No.1.
