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...
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.

Mariko Daicho is a producer at TV Tokyo. Apparently they want to film college students in the tri-state area eating instant noodles for a program on ramen in the United States. I doubt anyone from that area is really reading the site since I haven’t made my way over there yet, but I suppose i should put the word out!
This is what she said in the email:
Since instant ramen is very popular among college students, I would like to film and interivew some college students who eat instant ramen all the time. I would prefer to film in New York City. Do you know any college students in New York who would be willing to let us film at their house or college dorm eating ramen? Could you possibly post on your blog my request for a ramen loving college student in the NYC area (NY-NJ-CT)?
My time frame is tight. I’d need to complete filming by Friday, March 9th.
I appreciate any help.
