7pm in Tokyo - Ramen

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?

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.

6 days out of the week?! ...is your blood pressure ok? ^^;; I thought i was bad at once a week ^^;; 'course if i lived near a ramen place i might start eating more... i get tired of the instant stuff sometimes but don't think i'll ever get enough of the ramen from the places i go in japantown ^_^
Motivational Speaker

Though I should lay off once in a while, but then again....nooooodles :P
College Student

Wait, you forgot pizza? Pizza+ramen(+beer) is the official college food.
Same here. I usually eat Sapporo Ichiban ramen everyday for breakfast or brunch. Also eat it whenever it rains or gets a bit chilly here (though the I think the coldest SD has ever been is 48*F).

heeh that looks so tasty i love ramen :3
i eat it umm like at least once every weeks ^^

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.

Except when you go to those Japanese restaurants where the chef just immigrated three years ago.

That ramen in the picture looks so tasty.
I can only eat cup ramen. Real ramen is nowhere around here. But well, I have cup ramen about once every two weeks.

I seldom eat ramen. Cos I don't have em at home and I seldom head out.. Even if I do, my budget doesn't allow me to do so... I eat a lot of bihun at home though - quick and easy ^^;
This news item makes me hungry...
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.
Poet (not)
That ramen looks yum yum. Add some pepper and I'm in heaven.
I have noodles almost every week. Other than rice, it's another staple diet.

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!

I've never had ramen, but I'm not sure if I could eat it if it was presented to me. I'm an extremely picky eater, and it just doesn't look very good to me. >_>;

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 had ramen a few times this week. I do enjoy eating it, but I really should make more of an effort.

Is that an egg?
I've never understood why the Japanese throw an egg on everything.
software manager
http://wawawawasuremono.com
it's genius! ...'course i love eggs ^_^; In ramen it's a must, especially if it's a nice marinated egg that's soaked up all the broth goodness... for other cuisine... i've had a bacon egg cheeseburger and egg in a katsu curry... both were excellent ^_^

Instant noodles a few times per months I guess. ^_^; I miss a nice traditional bowl of ramen thought (whether Japanese or Chinese ones). ;_;

I'll be eating ramen in months to come if the weather continues as it is. Not a big soup person but i do enjoy soup/noodles more during winter.

Noodles and ramen are great but oddly enough, it fails to fill me. I'd need something like a large or extra large bowl... ><

I enjoy ramen occasionally, but not nearly as much as I did when I was younger.

I eat it every time I remember to! ^^; I have a terrible food memory, in that I'd probably starve to death if people didn't order me to eat something. But thanks to you, I'm going to go get myself some ramen! Sadly, it's instant... -_- But I'd say that's pretty tasty all the same. ^.^ Especially with all the garlic I chuck in. :D

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.

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.

I grab some ramen, pho, or miso soup whenever I'm cold.
On average I'd probably get ramen once or twice a month. It's good but not something I eat regularly.

It looks delicious. I really want to taste the ramen, but because of my religion I cannot. I just eat udon and shoba in Hakoshoba around train station in Kawasaki. I wonder, is it really no butaniku substance in udon and shoba?

I usual am able to cook up my own ramen when i have the ingredients around. That's often when i come back from grocery shopping and am able to buy "fresh" noodles. Finding fresh made ones are hard to come by and don't last long. oh well.

I remember having a lot of ramen when I went to Hokkaido actually... not sure what's different about the style there, but they seemed to be pretty proud of it over there... o.o
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.

While my ramen consumption has consisted on eating cup and stovetop ramen, there have been a few occassions where I have eaten some ramen at ramen places. ^^ I have had New York style ramen a few times and always order their curry ramen. ^^ I have yet to go to a few other ramen places to try it out. ^_^

Not often and not a lot because ramen places aren't that common. Shin-Sen-Gumi has some good ramen though. And I don't like buying packages because those are really bad for you although they taste good.
The broth of that ramen looks disturbingly fatty. I don't think I could bring my self to taste it. ^^
