Ramen (ラーメン) is a dish of noodles served in broth that originated in China but has a Japanese twist to suit their taste.  The secret of ramen is in its broth which is often a secret blend of meat (beef, pork, and chicken), vegetables, and fruits that are cooked for lengthy periods of time.  The dish is often garnished with toppings such as sliced pork (チャーシュー, char siu pork), dried seaweed (海苔, nori), kamaboko, bean sprouts, green onions.  Almost every locality or prefecture in Japan has its own original variation of ramen, from the tonkotsu ramen of Kyushu to the miso ramen of Hokkaido.
