Japanese Ramen( ラーメン )

Sora & Ellen

History of Ramen• Ramen is of Chinese origin; however it

is unclear when ramen was introduced to Japan.

• After World War II, cheap flour imported from the U.S. swept the Japanese mar-ket. At the same time, millions of Japa-nese troops had returned from China and continental East Asia. Many of these returnees had become familiar with Chinese cuisine and set up Chinese restaurants across Japan. Eating ramen, while popular, was still a special occa-sion that required going out.

• Beginning in the 1980s, ramen became a Japanese cultural icon.

しょうゆ　ラーメン• Soup: based on a chicken and veg-
