I’m not talking about the “typical” junk food (like KFC or McDonalds), instead it’s more on certain aspects of Japanese cuisine being carb heavy or features fried items such as: ramen, agepan, karage, tempura, gyudon, tonkatsu, yakitori, etc. I mean, can ramen or gyudon bowls still be deemed “fast food” even though they appear ‘healthier’ than American fast food.
I mean there is a big difference between ramen in general and things like “cup noodle”.
One serving of cup noodle has about 50% of your daily sodium and very little nutrional value. I think the issue is that most people don’t think of things like cup noodle as the “fast” form of ramen.
Good point. Funny, I was completely forgetting about the instant ramen, even tho I used to live on that stuff in college.
