How can I tell the reason after the fact in the second part of the sentence


Let's make an easy example sentence

> ラーメンが好きだから、毎日食堂で食べます。

In real life conversations I sometimes start a sentence with the second part

> 毎日食堂で食べます

Then I want to tell the reason for this and I always try to somehow connect
the sentences, but I don't know how. In the English language I could do it
like this:

> Because I like Ramen, I am eating everyday in the cafeteria.

And then I could switch it around and do it like this:

> I am eating everyday in the cafeteria, because I like Ramen.

While in Japanese I always start to stutter and then I just begin a new
sentence which goes like this:

> ラーメンが好きですから。

or:

> 理由はラーメンが好きです。

I am not sure if I'm overlooking something, but I think that there must be a
smoother way to tell the reason after the fact without making a new sentence.
I think you could do it somehow with the particle "で", but it kind of doesn't
sound right to me.




Japanese is a [head-final
language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_\(linguistics\)#Head-
initial_vs._head-final_languages), and there is no "formal" way to say the
reason after the conclusion part within a single sentence.

You can split the sentence into two:

> 毎日食堂でラーメンを食べます。(ラーメンが)好きだからです。

Or using [explanatory-no](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/5398/5010):

> 毎日食堂でラーメンを食べます。(ラーメンが)好きなんです。

Or explicitly using なぜなら ("because") or 理由は ("the reason is"):

> 毎日食堂でラーメンを食べます。なぜならラーメンが好きだからです。  
>  毎日食堂でラーメンを食べます。理由はラーメンが好きだからです。

Alternatively, it's possible to replace the period with a comma and "pretend"
it's a single sentence:

> 毎日食堂でラーメンを食べます、好きなので。

This nonstandard word order makes the sentence look informal and colloquial.
You should avoid this in formal writings unless you do want to vividly
simulate a casual conversation.

Or you can form a compound sentence using
[が/けれども/etc](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/32826/5010):

> 私は毎日食堂でラーメンを食べるのですが、それはラーメンが好きだからです。

IMHO, you don't have to hesitate to split the sentence into two if you really
want to say the conclusion first.

理由はラーメンが好きです means "the reason likes ramen", which makes no sense.
