ramenthusiast

1. A food enthusiast who particularly enjoys Japanese Ramen. If outside Japan, they are often driven by the quest to find the most authentic ramen closest in preparation, ingredients and flavor to that as found in Japan.

2. A ramen connouisseur that does not consider so-called "instant" or packaged ramen an acceptable substitute for "real" ramen.

"My friend Paul and I are such ramenthusiasts, we waited in line for an hour outside a newly-opened ramen place to test if it is authentic."
