This story is interesting because it points to a price drop and an even further Americanisation of Japanese recreation.

And who doesn't love hooters!

(That was a joke actually, the food at these places is terrible and no amount of tight T shirt action can fix that, I've got priorities)

How nutritional is Ramen?

http://caloriecount.about.com/

Using my favorite recipe for Ramen and About.com's Calorie Counter I've decided to see just how nutritional a bowl of my favorite home made Ramen is.

The Answer is not very. But based on calories, you could fit a bowl of this Ramen recipe into your diet as a treat if like me, you can not love without your Japanese food.
