All You Need to Know about Ramen
Written by Asinus Asinum Fricat on May 10, 2008 – 8:25 am -According to some historians, noodles originated from China over 4,000 to 5,000 years ago and reached the Japanese culture much later on. In fact, we had to wait up to 19th century, in the Meiji period, for ramen to become widely known in Japan, and ages till it got to us in the western world.
Salt ramen originated in Hokkaido in the Taisho era. The Japanese dish was originally called “Lamen”, but will be later referred to as “Ramen”, since there is no distinction between the ‘L’ and ‘R’ sounds in the Japanese language and it was a more popular way to express the word.
