Ramen and Ichiban Boshi

Don't we all love Ramen guys? The juicy pork slices, boiled eyes and beautifully flavoured soup with fine textured thin noodle..mm..yum!!!

Now here is a little bit of history about Ramen...

Noodles originated from China over 4000 years ago and reached the Japanese culture much later on. In fact, we had to wait up to 19th century, in the Meiji period, for ramen to become widely known in Japan. After the Second World War came an intense food shortage in Japan, a turning point in the history of noodles. Ramen were perfect and greatly helped Japan, they were cheap and a great source of needed calories. A bit later, in 1958, Momofuku Ando, founder and chairman of Nissin Foods, invented the instant noodles, which are a lot closer to what we eat today. Named the greatest “made in Japan” invention of the 20th century, in front of the karaoke and headphone stereos, in a Japanese poll made by the The Fuji Research Institute Corporation, instant ramen became a Japanese cultural icon.

Although there are different types of ramen in almost every single Japanese restuarants in Sydney, I would really recommend Ichiban Boshi to go for delicious ramens and udons! The delicious Tokyo ramen is a great choice for value, a big bowl of flavour  for just $8.50!
