HOLD FOR KlUG FOSTER STORY SLUGGED: SKOREA-DARK SIDE OF THE NOODLE: In this Tuesday, Aug. 19, 2014 photo, Japanese instant ramen noodle expert Masaya “Sokusekisai” Oyama, 55, slurps instant ramen noodle at a shop & restaurant specialized only in varieties of instant noodles in Tokyo. Oyama knows a lot about the instant noodle. He eats more than 400 instant noodles a year, and he usually goes by his nickname “Sokusekisai,” which means “instant.” He agrees eating only instant noodles is not good for your health, because eating one thing all the time isn’t healthy, no matter what it is. “You need nutritional balance,” he said. “You should eat other things, too.” (AP Photo/Koji Sasahara)
