Damn, Paul beat me to it. I'm pretty positive Maruchan is Chinese.
I believe Sapporo makes some Ichiban noodles, which are JDM.
Those things are horrible....one pack has like 70-90% of your sodium intake for a day, not to mention they are barely nutritious at all.
Since you can cook in your own room, that opens up the possibilities immensely.
Get a rice cooker. They're so frickin easy and rice is pretty cheap. I like Nishiki, but it's a little more expensive, more of a sushi rice. I think it tastes good plain, but you can easily and cheaply make lots of rice dishes. Things like rice pilaf and curried rice are real easy and very tasty. If you need recipes I can hook you up.
You can easily bake chicken, broil it, pan fry it, or get a foreman grill or something. It's not too expensive, but you can cut back on the money by only eating half a breast or so, turn it into a 2 meal kinda thing....then just eat more rice or pasta or salad or something else.
Salads....that's another way to go. Not too pricey and healthier than most other things. Ken's Lite Caesar dressing is the bomb, it's real strong so you don't need much. Some romaine, grape tomatoes or slice up a roma, some sliced english cucumber, freshly ground black pepper and some of the dressing makes a good salad. Skip the cheese, it's too expensive.
Pasta. You can get cheap ass pasta real easy. 1 box (1 lb.) should be good for 2-4 meals depending on how much you eat. You can get some pretty good prepared sauces for a reasonable price. A bottle of sauce is usually good for a 1 lb. box or so. Buy fresh onions and mushrooms and sautee them and dump them in, skip the meat to save money.
The more raw ingredients you use, chances are the cheaper you can make it. The processed foods can get expensive real quick, and most of them are pretty bad for you anyways.....
Cheap breakfast, you can do cereal or buy some eggs, cook an egg or two and do a little toast with some honey. Bread, eggs, and honey are all cheap and it takes like 5 minutes total time and you're ready to eat.
