What makes ramen special is the soupstock, for me that's very
essential and then there's the noodle quality and texture, so far
i've eaten ajisen and beppu and find the noodles acceptable.
The ingredients must be fresh and handled properly, got once i ate
ramen from some foodcourt, the charsiew got a weird pork taste as
though it's not been cleanly-washed prior to cookin.
It's a real turn-off
