Here’s what they had to say ‘Twice the concentration of dashi, twice the amount of flavor: that’s the philosophy Nissin followed for this delicious cup from the Donbei series (どん兵衛). Those are not ramen noodles, but Udon (うどん) with a smooth and chewy texture, and a refreshing Kansai-style soup made with two types of dashi, bonito and kombu. It features a wide variety of ingredients such as chopped abura-age, fried eggs, kamaboko, wakame seaweed, and green onions.’
I’m pretty certain this isn’t going to be a favorite for me. Let’s find out.
