FAQ

How accurate are the Homeplus prices in South Korea?

Prices are 2026-Q2 quarterly averages (chain weekly flyers + government food price index + manual spot-checks). Real prices vary by week, region, and promotion. Verify with your receipt before betting on these numbers. If a price looks wildly off, ping us via Contact — we refresh quarterly.

What's the cost per 1 gram of protein for Tonkotsu Ramen (Japan)?

The result card auto-shows "Cost / 1 g protein". When it's under the fitness threshold in KRW, a violet "MACRO HERO" badge appears. Same Tonkotsu Ramen (Japan) can swing dramatically in protein efficiency when you switch supermarkets or countries (e.g., imported vs domestic protein).

Why does Tonkotsu Ramen (Japan) cost so differently across countries?

Supply distance, local labor cost, VAT, food subsidies, exchange rates, minimum wage, and supermarket margins all stack up. The 'Compare' tab puts two countries side-by-side so you can spot which ingredient drives the gap.

Is cooking actually cheaper than delivery in South Korea?

Average Tonkotsu Ramen (Japan) delivery in South Korea runs around KRW 14000. Cooking typically saves 50-70%, but that excludes your time and dish-washing. If the verdict shouts "financial disaster," ordering may genuinely be the rational choice.

How do I share my recipe with a friend?

Hit the 'Share' button (top-right of the result card). The entire recipe gets lz-string compressed and encoded into the URL. Send that link anywhere — your friend opens it and sees the same calculation instantly. Nothing uploaded to a server.

Do you store the data I enter?

No, never. Static site with zero database. Your inputs and results live only in your browser session and vanish when the tab closes. Shared links carry the recipe in the URL itself (no backend). See Privacy Policy for the full breakdown.
