Sunset Ramen

Folks in much of the world probably think that ramen is dried crappy noodles that you buy in small packets several for a dollar. Folks in Japan, however, take it quite seriously and there are more ramen restaurants than you can shake a stick at. Television shows, books, and magazine articles extolling the virtues of various ramen shops abound and there are quite a few where people form lines outside waiting their turn to get in.
