Very informative and fun, but at times too busy. Sometimes hard to follow along, and not easy to read as just a book. Still, worth picking up if you want to really delve deep into making ramen.

So I thought this was going to have actual recipes for sprucing up plain ramen. Instead it was giving me recipes on making my own noodles and broth. Wtf. Nobody has time for that nonsense. Illustrations are gorgeous though.

I picked this up on a whim, having read something about it somewhere. It is, in fact, a graphic cookbook that gives a detailed overview of how to cook ramen, introducing the ingredients and illustrating (literally) the cooking techniques. The thing is, I was sort of more interested in how the information would be presented, rather than the information itself -- I don't eat pork, which is the base for the majority of ramen preparations, and I'm not really interested in super complicated cooking, which ramen-making certainly is. So, for those reasons, I couldn't give full stars to this book. Though, that isn't meant to take away from the presentation of the information, which is in fact excellent, and if I WERE interested in cooking ramen, I would consider it an invaluable resource. I do love ramen, but it is one of those foods which I am content to eat in restaurants, when I can get ones that are made from things other than pork -- a position which this book has only served to reinforce.
informative inspiring lighthearted relaxing slow-paced

Very thorough and the designs and comments from experts were an amazing touch! Made me want to appreciate my next bowl of ramen so much more!

A very detailed and concise cookbook on ramen. I didn't know that ramen could be so complex.
