I realize that I eat more Ramen in the Winter and think thats probably because I unconsciously want to head for something warm as I step outside ^^;
How often do you eat noodles/ramen?

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

    Well they say its the only food for college people and I do love my ramen, so I'd say six out of seven days a week.

      Never did ramen during college, but I was a "bread in toaster with Oscar Mayer deli meat" person.

      I tend to eat ramen during the cold winter months.

    I eat noodles 4 or 5 times a week, but usually only one of those will be ramen. The rest will be various other Japanese noodle dishes with prawns, chicken, and tofu. Japanese food is great but it's still a little tricky finding some of the ingredients unfortunately without ordering online.

    Also, what is it with the size of prawns you get with tempura in Japan? Those things are HUGE (and very tasty). In the UK the prawns aren't even 1/4 of the size and nowhere near as nice to eat.

    Real Ramen doesn't exist in the states so I'd say never. When I lived in Japan though I had it almost every day in the winter.

    I eat noodles also all the time when I'm outside...not at home. Seem to chose it over rice and fast food. Think its because of the soup and usually warms you up.

    By ramen I assume you mean the non-instant type right? If thats the case then rarely, maybe a couple of times a month. But hey if you include the instant type then well All the damn time!

    3 out of 5 times that I go out and eat noodle would be ramen.
    However there isn't one restaurant that has ramen that I love so much that I try to make an effort to go eat on a weekly bases.

    I eat soup in general much more frequently in the colder parts of the year. Anything from ramen to pork tea soup :) Most of my soup eating is done at home but there is one restaurant I go to for the soup. Sweet Tomatoes: http://www.souplantation.com/ should be all about the healthy salads... but for me it is about the soup :)

    This looks really delicious... I'm hungry now.

    To be honest, I don't really have ramen at all, since the ramen here costs a bomb to have. I think I had it once, but that's about it...

    Unless you count the instant ones... or the coffee shops (local food outlets) as ramen... that's another case.

      I do have to agree with netto, some places charge way too much for Ramen. Since it's not a stapled food of many countries. There is a Ramen placed in New York, which i ate at when i was in town for a couple of days for the New York anime convention. The placed was called Naruto Ramen which had a lunch specials that included Ramen and Gyoza for $8 dollars. It was delicious, and also i find it better to try restaurants during lunch hours because of their specials.

    I've always noticed that, too. Ramen warms me up internally more than anything else, though I don't have the amount of "toppings" that you seem to have in the picture above, in my bowl. Usually just some simple beef mix or karai spices with some little veggie bits.

    I'd eat a lot if it was more common here in Brazil...
    The only place that I know that serves a REAL ramen where I'm living now is kinda too far from home... so I only go there when I convince friends to take me. :P

    Five years ago or so, I would have said, "Every now and then". Now, try "Rarely". Two places in San Jose closed down. One became a Korean place and the other, I don't know what became of it. I think up north, there are places? I prefer udon these days now though.

    Ramen=WIN. Noodles=WIN.

    I don't eat them any more than I usually do in winter really. And one of the only places that sells ramen is Wagamama's. Chicken ramen is awesome. It comes in such a big bowl! I always struggle to finish it..

    I'm Korean, so I have a lot of Korean ramen. It's a lot spicier than the Japanese kinds, although it does wonders in the winter to warm you up.
