Ramen, Japan's noodle soup, is a microcosm of Japan and its
historical relations with China. The long evolution of ramen helps
us enter the history of cuisine in Japan, charting how food and
politics combined as a force within Sino-Japan relations. Cuisine
in East Asia plays a significant political role, at times also
philosophical, economic, and social. Ramen is a symbol of the
relationship between the two major forces in East Asia - what
started as a Chinese food product ended up almost 1,000 years later
as the emblem of modern Japanese cuisine. This book explains that
history - from myths about food in ancient East Asia to the
transfer of medieval food technology to Japan, to today's ramen
"popular culture."
