The basic types are:
"ramen"
Miso (red and white types)
Shoyu (soy sauce)
Black Ramen
Tonkotsu Ramen
Seabura (pig's back fat?) ramen
You can get other types with special toppings and stuff like that too, like different styles of eggs.
Side dishes that will often come with it are: Gyoza, Kara age (fried chicken), chahan (fried rice).
It is something that a lot of people like to eat after a night out drinking! I don't recommend eating it when you're hung over the next day though  . |
Yah, I don't like eating too much ramen either... which is why I was looking for suggestions to alternatives... I know fast food isn't nutritious, even in Japan, but I gotta eat something without spending all my money on the first four days in Tokyo!
