#5395: Ramen Pop Spicy Chicken Ramen Big Bowl Soup – United States

I’m currently broke and my options are limited, so I thought I would walk over to the discount grocery stores nearby. I found one option – this. 99 cents! It says its made in South Korea, but my whom is anyone’s guess. I’m curious – let’s cook.
THE NISSIN GERMANY INSTANT NOODLE ADVENT CALENDAR 2025 DAILY REVIEW SERIES

I’ve been happily going through a big box sent to me by the kind folks over in Germany at Nissin Foods. It’s a huge advent calendar filled with instant noodles. Each day I have been starting my doings by shooting video of myself opening the correlating door and freeing a pack or cup of noodles – often before I’m really awake. Then I get the post ready to go and go on with my day until the right time when I cook it up on Instant Noodle Recipe Time and then post around 3 to 4 in the afternoon. Usually, I do reviews and I’m very far ahead, so a post I do today might not come out until close to six months from now. This is a very different way of doing things for me and it’s been a whole lot of fun! I thought maybe I ought to do a single post where I can have everything easily viewed. I’ve been updating a stripe at the top of each review – adding a link to each day. I’ll be doing that here as well, but it’ll be stuck to the top of the home page of The Ramen Rater for easier access. With that, here is the calendar series – from the initial unboxing to current day. I should also note I’ve no clue what is going to be behind each door I open – despite being tempted to open the door the night before. I should also note we have a LEGO advent calendar – I am showing those in the beginning as well – but they are of the previous day so as not to spoil anyone doing the same one. Alright – let’s go.
Advent Calendar Day 14: #5586: Nissin Soba Pad Thai Flavor – Germany
#5394: Ajinomoto Oyakata Yakisoba Chicken Teriyaki – United States

The last of the versions found at HMart recently. The first one was super salty but the rest haven’t been too bad. I think this one sounds good – let’s find out.
Advent Calendar Day 13: #5585: Nissin Soba Teriyaki Flavor – Germany
#5393: Baoji Gan Mian Pi Xiangwei Shizu Baobao Cold Noodle – China

This one was hiding in my meager hamper stash – found it at S*Mart in Bellevue, Washington. First off, this is a cold noodle – good for during hot weather – which we’re getting toward as the day I’m reviewing this is the last day of spring. You can steam these or microwave them – and the latter sounds like the easier option. I am making this on the last day of school for the kids. Egad. Let’s get started.
Advent Calendar Day 12 Nissin Cup Noodles Beef Aromatic Spicy Soup – Germany
#5392: Lemonilo Ramen Chick’N Chow Mein – United States

Well, here’s the last of these they sent – thanks again! I seem to be getting to the last of a lot of things… Running low of noodles I’m afraid. Hmmm… Well, let’s cook.
Advent Calendar Day 11: #5584: Nissin Demae Ramen Miso – Germany
#5391: Kang Shi Fu Artificial Beef Flavor With Pickled Vegetables – United States

Here’s one I found in a Project Ramen box! They’ve got quite an array of international varieties – good stuff! Use the coupon code THERAMENRATER for a discount.
Advent Calendar Day 10: #5583: Nissin Soba Peking Duck Flavour – Germany
#5390: Maruchan Numaru Garlic Kumamoto Tonkotsu Ramen – Japan

Here’s a variety that I found in one of MiauMall’s Nakama Noodles subscription boxes! These boxes are discontinued, however you can find their stuff at MiauMall – here is what they said about this one – “Here’s a tasty cup of ramen with a punch of flavor! This Kumamoto-style tonkotsu features a savory pork base with hints of garlic in the soup along with Kumamoto’s famous black garlic oil! And with roasted garlic chips and green onion toppings, this cup is full of flavor!”
Advent Calendar Day 9: Nissin Demae Ramen Sesame – Germany
#5389: Siam Chili Pad Thai Set – Thailand

Found this one at S*Mart in Bellevue, Washington. It sounds pretty good – let’s cook it up and fund out.
Advent Calendar Day 8: #5582: Nissin Soba Teriyaki Flavor – Germany
#5388: Ajinomoto Oyakata Yakisoba Classic Soy Sauce – United States

Well, an interesting day. Last night my daughter got a hit and scored a run in her very last softball game of the season. Also, it turns out my son likes Froot Loops. It’s really a turning point for my family. Let’s give this one – made in Poland for the US market – a try!
Advent Calendar Day 7: #5581: Nissin Ramen Korean Hot Chili Flavour Pocket Snack – Germany
#5387: Tian Xiao Hua Wide Noodles Sesame Paste Flavor – China

The last of this range – found them at S*Mart in Bellevue, WA. I do like sesame paste – let’s give it a go!
Advent Calendar Day 6: #5580: Nissin Soba Sweet & Sour – Germany
#5386: Myojo Ippei-chan Night Stall Addictive Salt Tare Yakisoba – Japan

Here’s a variety that I found in one of MiauMall’s Nakama Noodles subscription boxes! These boxes are discontinued, however you can find their stuff at MiauMall – here is what they said about this one – “Next up is a selection inspired by night sakura events! This yakisoba is features a salt tare sauce with tasty sesame oil and garlic for plenty of flavor. Add the “rich garlic mayonnaise” on top and you have an addictive yakisoba dish to enjoy under the cherry blossoms!”
Advent Calendar Day 5: #5579: Nissin Soba Japanese Curry – Germany
#5385: Nongshim Vegan Shin Noodles – United States

This is interesting to me as it’s gone through multiple changes. This one is Shin but green in color to distinguish it from Shin Green which is another product altogether. This used to be in red with a Vegan logo on it, but I think they decided more green would be less confusing. That being said, and as logical as that might be, I’ve encountered people wondering if this is Shin Green and not Shin Ramyun Vegan. Anyways, let’s try it out.
Advent Calendar Day 4: Nissin Cup Noodles Miso Vegetable – Germany
#5384: Binh Tay Instant Rice Thread Seafood Flavor – Vietnam

Here’s one I found in a Project Ramen box! They’ve got quite an array of international varieties – good stuff! Use the coupon code THERAMENRATER for a discount. I like seafood, but bean thread… It really depends. I’m in the mood today though so guess we shall see – let’s give it a whirl!
Advent Calendar Day 3: #5578: Nissin Soba Classic – Germany
#5383: Pulmuone Roasting Seoul Jjajang – United States

Here’s an interesting one I found at HMart. Speaking of HMart, I would like to speak directly to them. Hey HMart – how are you today? Would you do me a huge favor? Would you put more varieties in your single pack area? You have so many multipacks which is great, but they’re not well represented in your single pack selection. Expand it, please! Thank you for your time, sincerly, myself. Let’s give this a try!
Advent Calendar Day 2: Nissin Cup Noodles Chicken Classic Asian Style – Germany
#5382: MAMA Oriental Style Instant Noodles Shrimp Creamy Tom Yum Flavor – United States

Here’s one I found in a Project Ramen box! They’ve got quite an array of international varieties – good stuff! Use the coupon code THERAMENRATER for a www.projectramen.com.
Advent Calendar Day 1: #5577: Nissin Demae Ramen Spicy Beef – Germany
#5381: Dujosoo Buckwheat Chongqing Noodles – China

I’m not usually a big fan of buckwheat noodles, however this piques my curiosity. Not much else to do but give them a try!

#5380: Ottogi Jin Jjajang Smoked Black Bean Flavor – United States

I was kindly given this one by my kids’ morning bus driver. He’s a really nice guy and we’ve talked a lot about instant ramyun from Korea – he’s Korean I should add. As I write this, it’s been almost a month since my last review. I took a week to do editing and readying 5 top ten lists – it takes a lot of time. Then I took a couple more weeks off. It’s been a nice break, but I’m done I need to do my work lol – I really enjoy it and productivity is like a drug to me when it comes to this stuff. What’s funny is that by the time this comes out, my kids will have a new morning bus driver and it’ll be the new school year. I posted #5212 today, so that’s…. Hmmm… Oh wow – mid November? Heck, I could take summer off… But I like doing this. Let’s do this one up real nice and big thanks to my kids’ bus drivers – they’re really nice people.
#5379: Ajinomoto Oyakata Yakisoba Korean BBQ – United States

I tried the curry version recently and wasn’t incredibly happy about it, but maybe a KBBQ version might be better. Found these at HMart so that was nice. What’s more, this is made in Poland for US export – fascinating! Let’s give it a try!
#5378: Sichuan Baijia Instant Konjac Noodles (Lemon Sour & Hot Flavor) – China

Well look at this – a unique Chinese variety. Make sure you look at the cooking directions – should find them interesting. Let’s give these a try – konjac noodle is ivery low cal.
Special: Black Friday / Cyber Monday 2025 – For Ramen Fans

Well, the stark fist of reality is pounding at your door – and your wallet. The holidays are here. I rounded up some deals if you wanna score some ramen related stuff and maybe get some for an acquaintance or a human you’re fond of. I’ll possibly be adding more as the week goes on – so check ’em out! You got ramen stuff and a deal? Let me know and I’ll add ya!
#5377: Samyang Foods Samyang Ramen Non-Soggy Noodles – United States

They had a sale at HMart of this variety and it was $4. I’ve had it many times and love this stuff – but this is a little different. It’s got a little yellow triangle, mentioning ‘non-soggy noodles.’ Generally, ramyeon that is cooked isn’t soggy or spongy. Is the noodle different from previous versions? The sale kind of seems to me that it might be. This is an export version for the US market. Let’s cook it up.
#5376: Tian Xiao Hua Broad Potato Noodle Spicy Red Oil Flavor – China

I tried another one of these recently – found at S*Mart in Bellevue, Washington. Anyways, they’re thick things. Red oil? Sounds ominous – let’s do it.
#5375: Nissin Cup Noodles Turkey Dinner Flavor Ramen Noodles In Sauce – United States

Well, it’s about to be Thanksgiving here in the United States and here we have turkey dinner in a cup. This is yet another one of the Limited Edition range Nissin Foods has been coming up with and honestly, I’m pretty happy that they keep coming out with these. I’ve seen images of mountains of this variety at Walmart on clearance for 25 cents each, but I don’t know if that’s true or not. On the bright side, you could just skip all the insanity and just have this and a Pumpkin Pie Cup Noodles and call it a turkey day. How’s that for a cheaper Thanksgiving – and it does generally come from Walmart. A recipe at the bottom shows you how to economically make a pumpkin pie using the pumpkin cup as well. Be festive in the face of financial ruin! Let’s give it a try.
