Ramen War


Ramen restaurants' competition in Japan is often called the "Ramen War".


地元の古くて狭いラーメン屋で食べる、300円ラーメンの素朴な味に勝るものはないと今日悟った。
”庶民のラーメン屋”の典型的なお店、下北の民亭のような味。シンプルイズザベスト。

Nowadays, thousands of ramen restaurants try so hard to differentiate their ramens from one another.

As a result, ironically, the most simple ramen with no special spice 
ends up tasting like the "newest" ramen. *In my opinion. *

I had a $3 ramen at an old, traditional ramen place near my apt. 
It tasted the best ramen I've had in a while.

Having found that place, I probably won't pay $8 for a ramen anymore.
