37. I see ramen, but not the stuff I particularly like...

I mean, it shows up at Safeway once in a while, but both supermarkets within walking distance are currently out and even the overpriced ones at 7-11 are scarce. Amazon has it but the price and availability fluctuates wildly. Maruchan seems to be having serious problems for a long time now. Regular ramen, the stuff I used to unwrap and munch "raw" when I was in college, is still plentiful.

All my favorite Japanese snackies are becoming hard to get. I can cope but it's irritating and worrying.
