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 – “Seasoned with salt, shio ramen is an unsung hero in Japan’s ramen world. Furthermore, it isn’t easy get right because the seasoning is normally light. But they get this one oh so right! The word “Fuyu” means winter in Japanese and this is a shio ramen perfect for winter. The salt base makes way for a sticky rich soup that has a spicy kick to it. The Nappa cabbage make for a great topping too.”
My guess is that this is going to be something special – let’s find out!
New Touch Fuyu Shio Ramen – Japan
Detail of the side panels (click to enlarge). Guessing it contains pork and chicken. To prepare, add in veg sachet, freeze dried block, and boiling water to line. Cover 5 minutes. Add remaining sachet. Finally, stir and enjoy!

An instant noodle block.
A sachet of liquid soup base.
A sachet of vegetables.
A freeze dried ingredient block.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added chashu, egg, scallion, LKK Chiu Chow chili crisp in oil, narutomaki and sesame seed. Noodle has a very sturdy tooth and works well. This is a very rich shio; very strong broth with a little heat to it – and then the cabbage. Ruthless! Freeze dried cabbage springs to life from the freeze dried block and rounds everything out so nicely. 5.0 out of 5.0 stars. JAN bar code 4903088017600.
