Ramen is a Japanese dish derived from the Chinese 'Lamian,' which means hand-pulled noodles. It became popular in Japan during the Meiji era and has since evolved into various types such as Shoyu, Miso, Tonkotsu, Tsukemen, and Shio, each with unique flavors. After World War II, Japan received flour from the U.S., which helped ramen become a staple. In 1958, Momofuku Ando invented instant ramen, eventually leading to its introduction in Korea in 1963 by Samyang Foods. Ramen today is considered a soul food in Japan and is enjoyed worldwide.
