>It's basically its own category.
No, it's not. Are you also going to claim gyoza is in its own category because there are gyoza shops?

>Anyone that wants ramen goes to a ramen shop, not a Chinese restaurant.
No shit. People will want to go to a restaurant that specializes in thing instead of going to a regular restaurant that also serves thing. What's your point?
