According to the report of Japan Tourism Agency, "ramen" was the second most often used in tweet among foreigners. The first one is "sushi", I already posted once.
In addition to this, the report said they enjoyed several types of ramen, even hot one.
The data is from http://www.mlit.go.jp/common/001080546.pdf.
The pictures below are two kinds of ramens; the bottom right is "tonkotsu ramen", pork bone base soup with rich collagen, in other words, too mach fat.
The bottom left is soy sauce base ramen; simple and taste light with sea fish bouillon.
You may see the noodle in tonkotsu is thinner than that in soy saurce base ramen.
Both have roast pork and green leek.
The upper picture shows the typical side dishes for ramen; the left is "gyouza": dumplings, the other is fried rice.
Those foods have originated in China and been brought to Japan, then, through the long history, they have evolved and modified to adjust Japanese taste, and finally they are favorable among even foreigners. It is a great evolution and globalization.
