Ramen

The serious business of eating consume a lot of time as many will also opt for a quick meal like the ramen restaurant pictured. This palace is almost always busy with a long line out the door. This day was a rare exception the heard mentality of eaters here usually flocks to this ramen shop similar to the one in Tampopo.

I rarely eat this as it’s been said to be high in salt and fat. It’s a form of fast food and having read that many salary men are only given a small amount of money by their wives to eat lunch this makes for an economic meal. I notice the people eating here are usually men. This appears to be a trend in other ramen restaurants I have observed that roman is for men generally. When I asked about this someone said women like cleaner fashionable café with less fat or healthier prepared meals. The lines at the door of men, generally confirms my observation. Taking this idea it could be said that men and woman in Japan have some difference in taste of food and eating styles. Many ramen shop are lined along train stations and bus stop confirming that ramen seems to be a meal for on the go people in tokyo
