So that leaves us with comparing american instant ramen to japanese instant ramen and it sounded to me like american instant noodles were better, or atleast not horrific to their ramen experienced taste buds... and is it just them being polite?

Over in Japan, Ramen soups or some here in America there are Ramen shops that have traditional recipes... The soups are really salty, but not so much where its unbearable... Its just a very full flavor that hits all your tastebuds at once.

But in Japan, it would be pretty much average.

Yeah they were being fair, and comparing them to the instant noodles available in Japan. You notice they even liked most of them. There were only a couple that they didn't seem to like much. The take away from this is that Japanese instant noodles have more salt, and bolder flavors than the ones from America.

I have no idea what you guys do in japan, but in the US one thing a lot of people like to add to their ramen is a slice of american cheese. The cheddar flavor is supposed to replicate that rather than a thick creamy saucy mac n cheese. Also for how bland the broth is, I don't know anyone who adds the full amount of water. I think there are some problems with health guidelines and not having too much salt in food, so the ramen doesn't come with as much stock powder. So everyone just kind of understands that if you want it to taste good and salty you have to put much less water than recommended.

The Nong Shim in the USA is now produced just outside of Los Angeles and it IS different from the Korean version (i.e. worse).

I used to love Nong Shim when they sold the version made in Korea, but when they started producing in the new US factory, there was a definite difference and not for the better sadly. I don't even consider buying it anymore.

I eat the Shin red or black on a regular basis because I love ramen. The shin black definitely has a richer bone type broth than the red, but the red is spicer, and I love spicy. I always add some sort of chilli's fermented in fish sauce, rice vinegar and soy sauce to both (usually serrano because those are easiest to find, but thai chili if I can). after cooking I let sit for 1 minute and throw in an ice cube or two. It yields more broth, stops the cooking, and lends a chewier noodle. I'm American and there's no way I am eating any other ramen unless it's from an actual ramen restaurant. Thanks for your video!

So, the thing about salt is that it enhances flavors. However, sometimes no matter how much salt you add, it won't help. In these cases you should add vinegar. In homemade ramen recipes, there is usually things like rice vinegar, sugar, and salt / soy sauce. Using a fine balance of these elements helps give a more balanced and enjoyable flavor. Also Japanese don't shy away from MSG which is huge difference from US instant ramen brands.
