I had lunch with a friend today. He came by work to pick me up and we went to Shin-Sen-Gumi Hakata Ramen in Gardena. I’m always worried about eating here because the ramen broth is probably very salty so I try not to drink any of it outside of slurping the noodles. Their website does not provide any nutritional information but I found some on MyFitnessPal:
| Nutritional Item | Hakata Ramen |
| Calories | 850 |
| Total fat | 26 g |
| Saturated fat | 5 g |
| Trans fat | NA |
| Cholesterol | 30 g |
| Sodium | 1,000 mg |
| Protein | 21 g |
| Calcium | 11% |
| Potassium | NA |
The nutritional information looks wrong. There’s got to be more fat in the bowl of ramen. You get two pieces of chashu pork, which has a ton of fat, plus all the grease in the ramen broth. I also think there’s more than 1,000 mg of sodium. I also had a small beef bowl (gyudon) for lunch so add more fat, sodium, and carbs to the info above.
Good thing I skipped the breakfast burrito at work this morning.
