I just can't anymore. There IS good ramen, but it's $16 to $20, and I just can't see paying that unless I am for sure planning on going out for ramen. I don't think America will ever get to the point we're you can go get good innovative ramen for $8 to $10.

Between the special outings, I'll prepare my own package of Shin Ramen and tweak it with my own add ons and hacks I see on YouTube and TikTok.

Hell even McDonald's and KFC is $40 to $50 for 4 people. I'm just not doing it anymore.

Not when REAL ramen, IN JAPAN, is so good and priced for the working folk.

They all looked and probably tasted great.
Would like to go back to Japan. Love the people.
