And like I said, if I had access to more obscure brands (which I do sometimes), I'd rather have those over any of the "commercial" stuff.

Ramen in a package is okay
the Ramen i get from my local japnese grocrey store is better.

These ones take 5 min. 6 if I want it thicker. let it cool and viola! yum yum. They come in different flavours. Teriyaki is my favourite.

lol :/ i thought i found some1 else that eats noodles right out of the packet with out cooking them ther for a second.

must be the awesome crunchyness or maybe just lazyness either way they still taste great :s

I don't think they were talking about instant ramen. Instant ramen is miles away from what REAL ramen tastes like. If you want to taste REAL ramen, then go to japan, go to a ramen'ya, and eat. 'Nuff said.

Ugh, that's because you were eating the instant kind. Real ramen is wayyyy better. Don't write off ramen until you've tried the real kind.

I don't blame you in your hate for instant ramen noodles. I was spoiled I suppose, by my father, and was lucky enough to try a better brand before every trying to the 10 cents a pack (or well five cents a pack on the Air Force base), and got a slightly more expensive bran. I won't say they're all that much better but I will always pick they Kamchi Bowl Noodles over them.

I recently had to try and find a new brand, however, because they don't sell these instant noodles near my college and I still refuse to settle for the others. So, I picked up a different brand of instant noodles by Maruchan called "Yakisoba," and I've enjoyed these so far. They are not as strong in flavored as the Kamchi Bowl but still pretty decent. I think they may actually cost more, too, which is a shame since they aren't as good but I can buy mine at 3 for $3.00, while I think the Kimchi Bowls were like 67 cents.

I think, the problem with ramen is that it allready spread around the entire world. So it allready kinda represents japanese eating habbits.
That is wrong! If you really want to try the real taste you have to eat them in a good restaurant. Although instant-ramen can be really tasty it is nothing compared to the real stuff you get in a good restaurant.

Go to a Ramen stand in Japan and try authentic ramen-- it's silly to judge Ramen as a whole just because you only have access to freeze-dried, packaged MSG.

AUTHENTIC RAMEN


V.S.

TOP RAMEN


But to stick up for Maruchan, add only half of the seasoning and it's not half bad... add some cabbage and cooked vegetables, maybe an egg. Whatever floats your noodle-loving boat

omg ramen is so good : )
