Notes -
In Japan ramen broth is typically drunk down at least to an inch or two, unless the person wasn't hungry. Instant ramen of course less so, but even there the soup is not ritualistically poured off before eating the noodles as I used to see my American friends doing in university. Pickles are also eaten..again unless the person isn't hungry or hates pickles. But they're not like parsley (though my wife happily eats parsley garnish).
As for hotpot, or nabe/鍋 as it is called here, often at the end either うどん/udon noodles are added and it is eaten as a sort of noodle soup, or cooked rice, beaten egg, and maybe a bit of ponzu/ポン酢 is added to make what is called zousui/雑炊, often my favorite part, especially with kimchee nabe or the more modern tomato cheese nabe, which ends up almost like some kind of fusion risotto.
