Here’s an interesting one from Japan found in a Zenpop box – check out zenpop.jp and use the coupon code RAMENRATER for a discount!
Here’s what they had to say about it – “You’re familiar with tonkotsu ramen, the lovely taste Kyushu-style pork bone broth based dish, but have you heard of tori paitan (鶏白湯)? This is the chicken version of the same dish, and a new product of the familiar donbei (どん兵) line from Nissin. The chicken makes these instant noodles much lighter than their pork bone counterparts, and Nissin found a culinary creative way to enhance all the flavors. The hot water-based tsuyu (つゆ) takes advantages of the chicken flavor, to which chicken oil (chiyu, ちーゆ) was mixed, giving your dish a warm and creamy texture. If you’re a fan of udon (うどん), the thicker Japanese noodles, this is the perfect cup to try a less common dish that they can be cooked in. It’s a very casual eat, with a mellow broth that welcomes the udon perfectly; a sweet and creamy chicken noodle for when the days get colder.”
This sounds like a very good one. Paitan varieties I’ve tried in the past have been incredible. Let’s check it out!

Loose bits from the bowl.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added soft boiled marinated egg, narutomaki, spring onion, shichimi, baked chicken, and sesame seed. The udon had a nice chew to it I don’t usualkly find in these bowls, which was great. The broth is literally like a chicken version of tonkotsu. Very creamy and hearty with a nice oiliness. Little minced chicken meatballs float around without a care in the world – and they’re good as well. 4.75 out of 5.0 stars. JAN bar code 4902105267943.
