How often do you eat ramen?
This question is more about the time back when it was safe for us to go out and dine out. How often did you go out for ramen back then? Did you go alone or with someone else? For lunch or dinner? As a huge fan of ramen, I am very interested in hearing about everyone's ramen habits :D

For me it's heavily dependent on the season! In summer I don't really crave it much at all. Winter on the other hand? Load me up! In normal circumstances I'd probably have it twice a week during winter, but right now we're limiting eating out because of the 'rona. As for the time of day, I'd say lunch is my preference - I'd rather not have such a heavy meal in the evening. I probably would say it's normally a close 50/50 - 50% alone, 50% with someone else (usually my family!) Speaking of which, has anyone found any ramen places that do their ramen to-go?

I totally agree with genkidesu! I love it in the winter, not in the summer. In the winter I used to go about once every two weeks! The shops that I love always have a line out the door so I don't like to go too often. My favorite shop is only open during lunch, but for other shops, I prefer to go during dinner.

Not as often as I would have liked maybe - like a few times a year? I love it - especially good tsukemen. We don't eat out often, usually for lunch on a day we're both mostly free. I guess I like the idea of eating out alone, but since getting married I'll usually get something simple in a supermarket instead. The last two times we've been for ramen, both restaurants had jars of broth, toppings, and noodles packaged up ready for take out.

We used to eat at our favorite ramen place 2-3 times a month. But ever since the start of pandemic, we have not dined out for a very long time. Yesterday, we took a chance and went to Ichiran at 9 o'clock in the morning so the place won't be crowded yet. It was our first time back there in 12 months. Hashtag craving satisfied :P

@TonetoEdo I mostly use vegetable broth and nerigoma as a soup base and then flavour with a little sake, rice vinegar and shoyu or miso (depending on what I feel like that day). It's probably a rather western approach to ramen, but it comes together in minutes and is super satisfying. That's why I love it so much! Whenever I have some more time, my favourite vegan ramen recipe is this one with kombu dashi and soymilk as a soup base https://www.justonecookbook.com/vegetarian-ramen/

@JapanRamen Have you tried making ramen? Some friends who are restaurant chefs in Canada did a ramen workshop with a master in Osaka. One became a ramen chef, the other makes is for friends and family at home. They said Tonkotsu is the most complicated. They treated me to other varieties in my kitchen when they visited. That’s how I got hooked on homemade ramen.
