Not entirely sure how authentic this is. I followed the shoyu ramen recipe from Joshua Wisseman.

      Perhaps unsurprisingly, yes, although the authenticity leaves something to be desired. Usually it’s just cheap stuff they can import in bulk quantities that appeal to westerners living abroad.

      There was a common reddit post where European supermarkets would have an “American” aisle at their grocery stores and every time they post it, it’s literally just breakfast cereal, pop-tarts, peanut butter, and candy bars.

      Kinda, but nowadays it’s all filtered in so even in a mass market supermarket you can get some decent ingredients. Like anything else not common to the local palate, you have to pay. Kale is ridiculously expensive, for example.
