Per serving, Tonkotsu Ramen (Japan) runs about 23% more expensive in South Korea than in Canada. The single biggest driver of that gap is Pork belly, which is priced noticeably higher in South Korea — it accounts for roughly 100% of the total difference. Canada still holds a real edge, but home-cooking beats delivery in both countries either way.
