History and origins

Viet Cong Ramen is said to have been invented at "Shinkyo," which opened in 1969. It Ramen as a staff meal made with Garlic and Chili Pepper to combat overwork and summer fatigue. It was named after the brave image of the Viet Cong (National Liberation Front of South Vietnam) during the Vietnam War, which was ongoing at the time. However, as the conflict intensified, it was deemed inappropriate as a name for a food product, and it came to be explained as an abbreviation of "Best Condition Ramen." (However, if it were to be shortened, wouldn't it be "Bescon"?) Another similarly spicy Regional ramen is "Taiwan Ramen" in Nagoya, which uses ground meat, while Viet Cong Ramen is primarily vegetable-based. The restaurant's name, "Shinkyo," refers to the city of Shinkyo in Manchuria, China, where founder Inagaki was born. Meanwhile, there's also "Viet Cong Ramen Karaku," a restaurant in Gifu founded in 1975 that features Garlic garlic cloves. Both restaurants were established around the same time, and it's unclear which is the original Ramen.
