History of Korea Ramyun / Ramen

Do you like Ramyun?

If yes, what kind of Ramyun?

It is sure the origin of Ramyun is from Japan but growth of Ramyun is from Korea.

Koran can't live apart from ramyun. we can konw that from data of Ramyun consumption.

Ramyun consumption in Korea is 3.3bilion in a year.

averagely,every Korean consume 80~90 Ramyuns in a year!

Maybe, the reason why Korean like it is that ramyun is easy to cook and eat.

In 1963, Samyang food company first launched instant noodle "samyang Ramyun" in Korea.
At the first, people didn't give attention to ramyun. Yet, because of shortage of foodstuffs, instant noodle became second next foodstuffs.
