As there are also these two shops, ramen seems to be "gradually recognized" in Berlin. Still it is said that you may also be told that you can "get sushi" or "(do not sow soup with chicken)". For Germans there are many people who recognize that ramen is a kind of soup, there are people who drink only soup and leave noodles.

Challenge of "Makoto" and "Kokoro" will continue with genuine ramen that has not changed the taste for the locality.
