Here’s what they have to say about this one – ‘Perfect for summer! Initially released in 2019, Maruchan is bringing back our favorite heat-beating noodles only for a couple of months. Cold kake type meat udon with lemon flavor on a smooth and chewy thin udon and a soup with bonito flakes and kelp soup stock enhanced by the umami of pork and sourness of the lemon flavor.
Sadly, by the time you see this, summer will be over – but that’s okay because there’s never a bad time for noodles. Let’s check this one out!
