Answers:
It's called naruto (a kind of spiral sliced fish cake stick with a pink whirlpool-like design in the middle..used to top ramen)..
No kidding, really. If you watch the anime "Naruto", you know it's because the main character loves ramen..and naruto, of course!
From wikipedia (under Foods): "Naruto (なると), a kind of kamaboko with a red whirling pattern, used as a topping for noodles such as ramen or hot soba. It is named after the Naruto Strait."
