FAQ
It really depends on what you are looking for in a meal. If you are looking for a healthy option that is relatively filling, then sushi may be the better choice for you. However, if you are looking for something that is cheap and easy to find, then ramen may be the better choice.
Hana-zushi: Hana-zushi (meaning flower sushi) is a kind of futomaki with roots in Chiba Prefecture. The fillings of these sushi rolls are arranged so that flower patterns appear at the end of each roll when it is cut, and these colorful designs make hana-zushi a popular food at festivals and community events.
The word ramen is a Japanese borrowing of the Chinese word lamian (拉麵), meaning pulled noodles, but is not derived from the northern Chinese dish of lamian. Instead, the dish evolved from southern Chinese noodle dishes from regions such as Guangzhou, reflecting the demographics of Chinese settlers in Yokohama.
Is Japanese Ramen Healthy? Ramen is not typically considered a healthy cuisine in Japanese restaurants for several reasons, including the quantity of white flour-based noodles it includes per serving, making it extremely starchy and detrimental to blood sugar control.
