Ramen restaurants in Japan, what is the deal?

The third link even has audio of how it is supposed to be pronounced.

There is a company called “Knorr”. No one knows how to pronounce that name.

But they make a wonderful product called, “Knorr Sidekicks Thai Sweet Chili Noodles”.

This product comes in a tiny pouch and usually sells for $1.69 but is often on sale for $0.99.

When it’s on sale, I try to buy as many as the store has. All stores post signs saying, "Maximum 6 sale items per customer. Some stores take it seriously. Others don’t care. When I go to a store that doesn’t care, I can purchase 20. Then go out and wait 10 or 20 minutes and go back and go to a diff cashiere and buy another 20. I only do this 3 or 4 times and then go to another store. I have gotten up to 100 pouches when they are on sale.

They are so delicious. I have eaten one pouch as a substitute for an entire meal - though not very often. They have a tiny “hot” tang.

If you can get this product from your grocery store, I’d like to recommend you try one. I think they are much, much batter than Ramen.

The above store charges about double what most stores do. But this store delivers and that can be wonderful. Especially for shut ins.

Uh, I think people are talking about actual, restaurant-made ramen. Not packaged noodles. Think an authentic Italian restaurant vs. Chef Boyardee.

Finally! As I type this I’m having a hot bowl of Ajisen Ramen! Mmmmmmmmm
