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.
