Magic Ramen

The story of how instant ramen was invented is fascinating and seems full of perseverance. I wonder what drew the author to this particular chapter of history.

The book made the history feel lively and exciting, almost like a quest. Did the storytelling style make others feel more connected to the cultural journey?

It seemed like the story was both about a food product and about a person's determination. Was this balance effective for others, or did it feel like it could have explored one more deeply?
