Frank over at 5am Ramen sent me this in a box of varieties – thanks! He’s got some really premium stuff like this for sale – and he does guides and tours over in Japan as well! Here’s what he had to say about this variety – “This is is the official instant ramen from Junren, one of Sapporo’s most celebrated miso ramen shops! This is saying a lot, as miso ramen originally comes from Sapporo….and there are countless miso ramen shops there. But Junren has a history going back to 1964. This instant ramen pays proper homage to this. The soup is rich with pork bones, but isn’t too rich. A bold miso flavors still shines through as well. The thick, Sapporo style noodles are wonderfully chewy and the generous amount of minced ork adds extra meatiness to the soup.”
Bring it on – here we go!

Finished (click to enlarge). Added Bullet chili crisp, sesame seed, narutomaki, chili thread, chashu, scallion, and egg. Noodle is really quite good – chewy and thick. The broth is a trip – tangy and miso as well as girthy and full. It’s got a red miso element but it’s got a lot going on. Included veg is great. This is very good. 4.75 out of 5.0 stars.
