Negi Ramen

Negi = leek. In Kanto (East), the negi is thick and white. In Kansai (West), the negi is thin and green. Ramen are Chinese noodles, usually in soup. Thus negi ramen is noodles with lots of negi on top.

I grew up in Kobe, so I prefer the green negi. It was kinda a shock to see all the white negi floating around in the udon and soba soup (these are Japanese noodles, udon made from wheat and soba from buckwheat) when I started living in Tokyo ^_^;; They just taste too different.
