asian markets have a very large noodle sections. they also usually have fresh made noodles. if you plan on making ramen i hope you have all day. making the stock takes a while.

take a look through the candy or sweets section when you go. there should be alot of new things for you to try.
Don't forget Pocky!

Buy kewpie only if you want to be a fat fuck. Whenever i have kewpie on hand i eat it with everything or just squeeze it into my mouth.

You see some (cheap)steaks just tastes oily and bland. And i've been to a donkatsu place where they serve wasabi in soy sauce to dip beef katsu with. I thought applying that to steak would be nice. Obviously i would want real legit wasabi for that, not some fake ass shit.

>No idea how to use it.
It's for making dashi (broth). First you steep some konbu (kelp) in hot-but-not-boiling water for about 45 min or so. Remove the help, heat the water to boiling. Drop in the katsuobshi. Leave for a minute or two, then strain.
...anyway, that's it's main use. I've also seen small pieces of it used as a garnish for various dishes.
