  This is probably the right place to remind beginners in the study of ramens, that basic knowledge can be acquired from the classic "Tampopo" movie.Just the opening scene is must-know : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeVhZkbAc5k:)

  I have never yet been to Japan, but whenever I visit a big city, I try a ramen shop. To be honest, so far it has been a let down. IDK, I guess maybe I'm expecting too much from a bowl of soup, with noodles and condiments. As a form factor, it's genius. But for the price that it is usually sold at in western cities, it really doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I feel like it has been a bit too overhyped for what it is.BTW, you can also replicate the form factor using western cooking ingredients/traditions and it still works pretty well.

  A rotating ramen in the first position of HN? why?

  Some downright drool inducing photography there. So many truly delicious looking ramen bowls.

  Happy to see they have a selection from the location (Ramen Tatsu-ya, in Austin) that started my love of ramenhttps://ramen.haus/united-states/austin/tatsu-ya-the-og/

  As a Japanese in Tokyo, I didn't know that Ramens in other countries look so good.

  New York City has great Ramen options. I find yelp rating a lot more indicative of the food quality than Google ratings.Something that has seriously increased my trust in Yelp:There's this one restaurant that has always been my favorite within 100s of miles and recently I noticed they had a top 100 in the USA poster for their cuisine on the outside from Yelp. It doesn't mention what rank specifically, just top 100. I look it up and they are in the top 10.So I really have no idea how Yelp was able to figure out that this restaurant is so good and to rank it in a way I agree with. It could be just based on reviews because it does have close to 5 stars but regardless it's impressive.

  It doesn't rotate on firefox on my linux machine, but does on firefox on my windows.edit: it looks like my firefox linux have a "prefers-reduced-motion: reduce" set...So I discovered that setting animation to instant on kde, tell the browser to reduce motions...

  this reminds me of a naive and happier time in tech, when i built a game called ramendan with twitter’s open API. you had to eat ramen every day for dinner, and tweet proof with the hashtag #ramendan, link to a photo (this was before twitter supported images), and geotag it so that we could make sure it was after sundown in your timezone.https://www.pechakucha.com/presentations/the-savory-month-of...

  Ittenbari in Akasaka was an absolute revelation as to what ramen can be.Tabutchan in Osaka was the confirmation that it is the most delightful form of food invented by mankind.

  One of the best ramen I’ve ever had is this:https://ramen.haus/united-kingdom/london/cha-mori-ramen-kana...Pre-Covid, this restaurant would regularly have queues down the street to get in. But it’s a small place. Basically the size of someone’s front room. Definitely worth a visit.

  I love ramen. And the best thing about it is that it’s always a bit different, unique experience

  So nice to see Bankara Ramen in Bangkok here - one of my favourite places, and you always see Japanese customers eating there, so you know it passes the local abroad trial :-)

  This is spectacular. I think food can never be overrated.

  This one in Rome looks downright disgusting: https://ramen.haus/italy/rome/gyukotsu-ramen-mama-ya-ramen/

  Is it just me or does the rotation make it less appealing?I think the problem is, with that kind of lighting, you'd subconsciously expect a lot of movement. ( like in this animation: https://kotaku.com/unity-3d-ramen-noodles-art-artist-tech-vf... )Obviously, there can't be any movement, because it's just a single photograph - and if that were all, then perception would adjust accordingly.But because of the rotation, suddenly movement is added back - only, the contents of the photo don't follow it, so the whole thing now looks like a plastic replica of a ramen dish instead of the real thing.

  Ah I was hoping I could add photos from my favorite place in my city, but alas.

  Like a trip back to late 2000's website design. I hope those style (or maybe something new) comes back.
