Kirkus Reviews starry-eyed as it may sound, the goal of peace through food seems important - and possible - by the story's end. Publishers Weekly Winner of the 2020 Sakura MedalInspiration struck when Momofuku Ando spotted the long lines for a simple bowl of ramen following World War I. Magic Ramen tells the true story behind the creation of one of the world's most popular foods. Every day, Momofuku Ando would retire to his lab--a little shed in his backyard. For years, he'd dreamed about making a new kind of ramen noodle soup that was quick, convenient, and tasty for the hungry people he'd seen in line for a bowl on the black market following World War I. Peace follows from a full stomach, he believed. Day after day, Ando experimented. Night after night, he failed. But Ando kept experimenting. With persistence, creativity, and a little inspiration, Ando succeeded. This is the true story behind one of the world's most popular foods.
