Midtown Manhattan’s Menchanko-tei (say that three times fast!) serves up a sumo-style stew of traditional Japanese hot pot and ramen noodles. They’re also from Hakata, so expect an attempt at tonkotsu ramen. But does it fall flat like a teetering yokozuna? That thundering sound you hear might well be the din of a few bowls breaking...

latest instant noodles

Curry is a staple, if relatively underrated dish in the pantheon of Japanese cuisine, and Nissin Cup Noodle’s variation on the theme is right up there in terms of popularity as an quick instant ramen fix. It’s not the sort of thing that rameniac eats every day, but when you’re hungry, it’s best not to ask too many questions and just slurp it all down.

Finally, the time is nigh for the hugest, most photo-intensive pictorial this website has ever seen! Maybe you guys thought I had forgotten, but perhaps I was just saving this for the right occasion ^^. What better way to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Chikin Ramen and the birth of instant noodles than a walking tour through the Momofuku Ando Instant Ramen Museum? Oh yes.

the noodlewed game

A hearty omedetou to Natsuki Sakai and Ai Ito, noodle-lovers who recently married at Ramen Mura in Asahikawa, Hokkaido. The groom's dad is head manager at this ramen-themed amusement park, which also features a branch of Santouka, and apparently that's how they got their hookup. According to the Mainichi news: '"We want our marriage to be as long and endless as a noodle and stay as hot as the broth in which noodles are served," groom Sakai told guests at the reception.' Well that sounds about right, considering how they do it in the far north, where oil is often used to keep the soup hot and sexy (wink wink).
