Per serving, Tonkotsu Ramen (Japan) runs about 48% more expensive in Spain than in Thailand. The single biggest driver of that gap is Pork belly, which is priced noticeably higher in Spain — it accounts for roughly 53% of the total difference. Thailand still holds a real edge, but home-cooking beats delivery in both countries either way.
