There are several theories about theorigin of ramen in Japan. According to the Shin-Yokohama Raumen Museum , ramen was introduced to Japanat the end of the Edo period by the influx ofChinese immigrants who settled in Yokohama, Kobe, Nagasaki, and Hakodate. The expansion of Chinatowns(also called Nanjing towns) in these port cities opened a floodgate for Chinese cuisine that is to become a distinct part of Japanese food culture, known as chuka ryori. Comfort food is an important part of any cuisine. Whether it’s a hearty plate of bangers and mash in England, a big bowl of homemade pasta in Italy, or a pot of bubbling boeuf bourguignon in France, everywhere has go-to, soothing dishes which are easy to eat and made to warm the soul. Japanese food tends to get associated with subtle, pure, often cold dishes (mostly due to sushi), but the country’s world-class cuisine has just as many (if not more) warm, rich, in-your-face flavourful dishes. And while there are a whole host of different types of Japanese comfort food, the most popular dish of the lot is undoubtedly ramen. This book has the right mix of classic and modern ramen recipes which should satisfy anyone looking for authenticity in flavor or creativity in ingredients.
