History Main / RamenSlurp

* ''{{Persona 3}}'' and ''{{Persona 4}}'' have really ''loud'' bits whenever the characters are in ramen shops.

* In ''{{Disgaea}}'', the preview of episode 3 features Etna slurping a bowl of ramen.

* ''Anime/PsychoPass'' used [[{{kuudere}} Yayoi]] [[HotChickInABadassSuit Kunizuka]] pausing mid-slurp to show her surprize at the [[TheHeart Akane's]] idea that they better avoid [[AutopsySnackTime discussing gruesome murders during lunch]].

* ''LupinIII'': Inspector Zenigata does this from time to time, seeing as he mostly eats that stuff due to his lengthy chase after the titular character not allowing for enough time for a full-course meal. (Particularly worthy of note in ''TheCastleOfCagliostro'', in which the cheap ramen eaten by Zenigata and Lupin are contrasted with the fancy meals enjoyed by Count Cagliostro.)

In certain Asian countries, this is actually considered good etiquette -- if you were really enjoying the food, you ''would'' get ahead of yourself and get sloppy, right? In Japan itself there are some older folk who hold that slurping makes the ramen taste better, similar to the 'bubbling' of wine tasting.
