Ramen noodles are actually a Chinese invention that grew roots in Japan. The bouncy ramen noodles gained popularity in the 1930s as Chinese immigrants began cooking in soba shops. The blending of Chinese noodles with Japanese broth making and eating rituals gave birth to many modern styles, with ramen shops and noodle carts becoming fixtures of Japanese dining. During World War II, push carts and street vendors were made illegal as many ingredients were rationed, and ramen nearly went extinct.
At the same time, instant ramen was also introduced to America, marketed as healthy food to busy families. Oodles of Noodles, Cup of Ramen, and products of their ilk didn't see fame until the 1980s. The '80s also saw the advent of Japanese "ramen tours" that became, and remain, a popular sightseeing expedition for hungry American travelers.
Culturally speaking, ramen shops are one of the few fast food icons to avoid franchise conglomeration with a simple system of noren ramen. Loosely translated to mean branch shops, ramen shop keepers are reputed to teach employees their ramen recipes, then send these employees off to open their own shops after just a few years of service. This is good for ramen-lovers, but also means that ramen recipes, methods, and traditions have morphed slightly, like a long game of telephone over the last two decades in America.

Get the Bitch-lying mug.Hym "Jordan... I'm not doing it. You're self help is bullshitz. If I do not get my pound of flesh and IF THIS FUCKING SERVER SHIT DOES NOT CEASE (It's getting a little suspicious) there is only one other thing for me to do here. You need YOU to stop lying. Only the truth is going to save that fucking kid Jordan. I don't care. I don't care about any of your bullshit Jordan. I'm not buying anything you're selling. Conversely, someone IS buying everything I'M selling... And THEY NEED TO PAY ME. It's not a request. It is a prerequisite for your kids safety. 1 of 2 very super-duper ultra-specific prerequisites. This has been over since the very first time my words came out of your mouth. The bullet is in the air. Nothing is going to stop me. The last guy who said he was going to do it, did it. It isn't a matter of whether or not I get what I want here. I am going to get it."
