weekend links 2007-10-28 15:49:01 First of all, our deepest sympathies go out to all the people who’ve lost homes in the Southern California fires, and a great big heartfelt THANKS go to all the brave firefighters. The “ramen blog headquarters” is just a few miles from the Santiago Canyon fire, and we’re still trying to pick all the ash out of our ramen.
Have you been to instant ramen heaven?
Here’s something I thought I’d never say: here’s a NSFW quote about ramen — ramen?!?!
Ramen, the educational video, just like the ones you watched in grade school (complete with educational video cheesy music)? (look in the lower left corner of the page)

Hey kids, science experiment
Can you eat a “galaxy” of ramen? A “universe” of ramen? How about a “black hole” of ramen

No, we did not get bought out by a daytime talk show and no, People magazine is not sponsoring us. Here’s one woman’s account of how she lost 10 pounds by eating ramen! (Oh, and the picture above…*not* the woman on the ramen diet!)
Are you curious about how the ramen in a can tastes like?
Everyone’s heard of the famous hot dog eating contests. But is the world ready for a ramen eating contest?

ramen meets the wi-fi age 2007-11-02 00:55:45
Picture this…you’re in Japan…armed with a laptop and a wi-fi connection, and you want a bowl of ramen, but you don’t know where to go. What to do, what to do?
Sony is probably the last company you would turn to in the quest for ramen, but leave it to them to come up with the X-Ramen Radar, a software program designed to help ramen fans find their favorite food by cross-referencing your wi-fi location with a database of ramen houses. Crisis averted!
Sony, my hat’s off to you!

save on wedding costs! serve ramen! 2007-11-16 01:08:02
I wish I knew about this before I got married! Natsuki Sakai and Ai Ito had their marriage ceremony at the Asahikawa Ramen Village, a ramen theme park in Hokkaido, Japan.
The groom, Sakai, told guests “We want our marriage to be as long and endless as a noodle and stay as hot as the broth in which noodles are serve
d.”
Apparently, the only reason Sakai and bride Ai Ito could be married at the ramen village is because Sakai’s father is the head manager. I wonder if the RSVP cards read “shoyu or tonkotsu” instead of “chicken or beef”.
No word on how many nights the groom had to spend sleeping on the couch for pulling this off.

almost-weekend ramen round-up 2007-11-16 00:26:16
It’s a shame that ramen yatai (street vendors) are disappearing from the streets of Japan. Catch a glimpse of a dying breed at Tokyo Daily Photo.
Even the Wall Street Journal is catching on to ramen. Check out this article, complete with video, about Ivan Ramen, the ramen shop in Tokyo opened by New York chef Ivan Orkin!
Ever think of the instant ramen industry as good corporate citizens? Ever thought they might be as greedy and corrupt as the music or oil industry? If you think the latter, you may be more right than you thought!

ramen rating: toshi’s ramen 2007-11-15 23:29:52
My wife and I recently went on a road trip to Portland, Oregon, and of course, I had to do some ramen research. After spending time surfing the web, I sadly announced that there were *zero* ramen shops in Portland (aspiring ramen entrepreneurs pay attention: there is no competition in Portland!). But wait…what’s this? “Guess what, dear…we’re making a stop at Eugene!” “Eugene? Where’s that?” “It’s about 2 hours south of Portland…and there’s a ramen house there!”
As luck would have it, we arrived shortly before they closed for the afternoon. Phew. That’ll teach me to not call ahead. Unlike most of the other ramen houses we’ve been to, this one had a huge gas station-type sign on the corner (which makes sense considering it’s located on the site of a former gas station), and a fancy logo. From the outside, Toshi’s Ramen looks more like a trendy pub than a cozy ramen shop. Inside, t
ramen rating: gardena ramen 2007-11-18 19:54:31
I’ve been intrigued by Gardena Ramen ever since I read rameniac’s promise of “the finest shoyu ramen in L.A.” Since I tend to favor the classic shoyu ramen over any other new-fangled choices, I couldn’t wait to try it. When I finally had some time to head up to Torrance (yes, it’s Gardena Ramen, but in Torrance), I was as giddy as a school girl on a first date (Ok, maybe more like a school boy, but school boys don’t get giddy…do they?).
The non-descript strip mall that held the path to ramen nirvana was anchored by a 99-cent Store and had an almost empty parking lot. I looked at my watch: 12:30pm, peak lunch time…hmm…not a good sign.
As my wife and I entered the spartan ramen house, my wife pointed out the coffee-shop chairs. “Cute,” she commented. And that, and the U2 song playing in the background is about it as far as ambience. As we were seated, we looked around and saw the hand-written menu taped to the wall

Just thought everyone could use something cheerful since Thanksgiving weekend is almost over…
