That's what I pretty well thought - thanks! (Though I am reliably told that Tempura is deep fat fried, so you may need to rethink that part )
If it is cheap, it's correct.
You can't compare a skilled chef frying tempura with a random guy in McDonalds, it is like heaven and hell.
Is ramen not more Chinese than Japanese? Ramen can be served cold,so I am reliably informed.
Well, all Japanese culture was learnt from ancient China, so as their cuisine. Ramen is indeed comes from China, but what we can eat now, they taste so different.
Ramen is less likely served in cold, comparing to soba and udon
