Like so many others Japanese work many hours per week which means that they do not have time to cook dinner during the week.
I Tokyo you will finde a wide range of take-away stands and noodle bars which serves noodle soup of very high quality. The noodle soup is cheap and many Japanese visits a noodle bar several times during a week.
