Ramen is the real Japanese noodles, the instant noodles, are a wannabe pretty much, Japanese noodles are much longer, and they make their own broth and spices, they don't use a spice packet that comes with the instant ones.

But the Japanese do have instant noodles, like Ichiban, they are the same style, I guess they are just faster to make. But I am not sure, I do know real Ramen is a little different. Did I help you, or confuse you more?
