Tonkatsu sauce is just sweeter brown sauce. Soy sauce is worse Worcestershire sauce. Everything is covered in sickly sweet mayo. I'll eat sushi when it's battered and fried.

      Ramen was brought from china by the emigrating yayoi to use as a tool to show their culinary superiority to the Korean originating jomon.

        It would be hard/interesting to judge cuisine in this way. You would have to remove biryani and many North Indian dishes from Indian cuisine since those came from the Mughals

          I believe in the japanese phantom time conspiracy theory. During the meiji restoration the emperor invented a bunch of previous emperors before the shogunate to justify his autocratic power. So they actually didn't have ramen for that long.
