You'll find some explanations about it on Eating Out in Tokyo.
That's a synthesis: "..Many times you will not find any photo menu in front of restaurant. Instead there are menus in Japanese. 
You can choose ramen with different toppings and depends what you choose, you pay, but in general prices are rather low.

How to order and pay ticket vending machine menus with prices stick to machine: Names of ramen dishes and their prices are written on buttons of ticket vending machine, so you must just choose one, insert money inside of the machine and press the button. 
Machine will produce ticket and (eventually) also change. Collect both. 
Than simply present the ticket to chef and he will know what kind of dish you want to eat..." DSC03561
On Essential Japan Guide will find a lot of tips about how to order and about varieties of Japanese Ramen. My favourite it's ramen+ shrimps tempura ♥!!!
Ramen is typically categorized according to its basic underlying flavor. There are four basic types of ramen: shio, a salt-based ramen; tonkotsu, a pork-based ramen; shoyu, a soy sauce-based ramen; and miso, a miso-based ramen.
Shio ramen is made with a clear, chicken-based broth and is seasoned with salt, but without miso or soy sauce. This is the lightest and simplest style of ramen, and typically includes ingredients like onions, scallions, and pork or chicken meatballs.
Tonkotsu ramen consists of a thick, white broth made by boiling pork bones and other ingredients for hours until it forms into a thick, milky broth. Sometimes this broth is also combined with soy sauce.
Shoyu ramen is made of a broth created from a chicken, vegetable, or pork base and seasoned with soy sauce. Typical tonkotsu ramen ingredients include sliced pork, nori, fish cakes, boiled eggs, and bamboo shoots.
Miso ramen originated in Sapporo, and is the most recently developed of Japan's four basic ramen flavors. This type or ramen consists of a thick, miso-flavored chicken or fish-based broth that makes for a stew-like dish ideal for Hokkaido's chilly winters. Ingredients include cabbage, bean sprouts, corn, leeks, onions, and pork
If you like to buy some Ramen or Udon in Italy there's an on-line ramen shop!
