Cuisine that represents Japan

I think that it will be the ramen that will be most evaluated in the world as the cuisine that represents the Japan. 

Ramen

I still think that the most popular item is still the sushi.

Sushi

I think the deciding factor of the taste of sushi is the freshness of the fish, and then the delicious rice, seaweed, and vinegar.
If one has to become a unique sushi shop then the human effort is to be added, and it is the cuisine that is mostly controlled by the good ingredient. Some sort of deception will be effective if good ingredients are available
 
When compared with this, you may think that by using good ingredients such as wheat flour that becomes noodle, water, fish used in the soup, vegetable, and meat a good ramen can be made. How do you make a delicious soup by going the extent of combining the ingredients?

Ingredients used in ramen

The ingredients used in the soup, and the preparation method are very different, and hence there are countless variation of taste as the number of shops.

The proportion of high degree of freedom can easily lead to taste difference. A long queue stands in front of delicious ramen shop, but customers will not come to the shop that does not make such activity.

In other words, if you make a delicious ramen, the customers will come without fail.

Hence, the if the foreigners who are coming to Japan eat the delicious ramen, and if you enter the ramen shop lined up in front of the store in the lunch time and dinner time, then you will definitely attach yourself with the taste of delicious ramen.

The foreigners easily misunderstand it to be a simple dish, by imagining the instant noodle that it can be easily consumed just by boiling in hot water for 3 minutes, but it takes a lot of time and effort to prepare the soup in the ramen shop that is lined up with the customers.

Instant ramen

It takes nearly 5 hours just to boil the soup well!
Prepare a delicious ramen by sparing all the effort, by continuously searching for a good ingredient, and keep evolving without making it as the final point.
If a shop does extremely well, then only it will be called as the famous shop of Japanese ramen for the first time.

Even if it is called as famous shop, the contest is not over because shops are opened one after another giving out new flavors, and it is sure that ramen is the most severe cuisine.

In other words, it can be said as the cuisine that is most evolving in Japan.

It is easy to understand that the ramen is the dish that makes you to enjoy the delicious soup.
However, it is far from the healthy dish while chasing the taste, the flavor is strong, the calorie is high, and elderly people are restraining from this dish. It is not much know that the health consciousness people, preferring the bland diet, not considering this dish.
I do not prefer to eat this dish too much willingly, but the children like it very much!

Though it is just ramen, there are about 30,000 ramen shops in Japan.
