in the case of ramen, it IS all about the broth; and the opposite with udon.

I am not a huge udon noodle guy in general, but I must say that this was AWESOME for a quick noodle fix. The broth was flavorful, with a nice layer of silky fat (sounds so much better than grease, doesn't it?) floating on the top of the broth. The noodles were thick and gummy without being chewy-- perfect. I want some of those broad-based spoons for my apartment...

The last sentence should read: I do think, though, that when we eat cuisines not of your own culture or background, you’ll want to keep in mind how it's eaten (with what condiments, what proportions, etc.) and, even better, emulate it so you can have the full experience.

Perhaps I didn't express myself well. I was just pointing out that the way we consume ramen and udon is different from the way non-Japanese do. We consider the noodles to be the main part of the dish; my observation has been that non-Japanese (mainly American, since I've lived here most of my life) consider the soup the main component. I might also be very sensitive to the sodium issue because I've had fleeting high blood pressure issues.
