Why is fructose of concern? First, it is sweeter than either glucose or sucrose. In fruit, it serves as a marker for foods that are nutritionally rich. However, in soft drinks and other âsweets,â fructose serves to reward sweet taste that provides âcalories,â often without much else in the way of nutrition.

Osechi food is packed in colorful lacquer boxes called jubako. Each dish and ingredient in osechi has a meaning, such as good health, fertility, good harvest, happiness, long life, and so on.
I lived in Japan for a period of time. My Japanese language teacher there informed me that women rarely drink much of the ramen broth because it is so high in calories. That was her opinion of what Japanese women did anyway. Tonkotsu, a style served at Ryowa, is probably the highest in calories. To make Tonkotsu broth, they boil all sorts of pork parts for many hours, extracting all of the fattening juices. This is why it tastes so wonderful. This is not in the same class as Top Ramen or Cup Noodles. Restaurant ramen has many more calories.
