#205: Sapporo Ichiban Japanese Style Noodles & Beef Flavored Soup
So now that I’m out of the Nong Shim bowl noodles, here’s something new. This is going to be good – I haven’t had any complaints that I can think of about Sapporo Ichiban’s products.
#198: Shirakiku Sanukiya Somen Fresh Japanese Style Original
Some fresh noodles. Some this time – I know Udon, but what it somen? Wikipedia says:
Sōmen (素麺?) are very thin, white Japanesenoodles made of wheat flour. The noodles are usually served cold and are less than 1.3 mm in diameter. The distinction between sōmen and the next thicker wheat noodles hiyamugi and even thicker Japanese wheat noodles udon is mostly the size of the noodle. Somen noodles are stretched when made, as are some types of udon noodles.
#196: Nissin Cup Noodles Pani Puri
So something from India eh? The last Cup Noodles from India was a little funky I thought – let’s see how this one tastes…
#189: Nissin Cup Noodles Manchurian Enjoy Noodles With Hot Soup
So I wonder what exactly does Manchurian taste like? I guess we’ll see…
The seasoning is included in the noodle block on this one. So I added the hot water up to the line and gave it 3 minutes.

Looks interesting – so far I have really enjoyed this line by Myojo quite a bit. Seems pretty gourmet…
#180: Myojo Hyoubanya no Yakisoba Japanese Style Noodles Sauce Flavor

#166: Koyo Garlic Pepper Ramen Made With Organic Noodles
So this came from a local snooty natural foods place in Edmonds. We’ll see how it is…
#162: Myojo Chukazanmai Japanese Style Noodles With Soup Base Oriental Flavor
So I got these noodles yesterday up the road at 99 Ranch and wow everyone else wanted to be there at the same time! Was absolutely amazing how many people were in that store all at once! Surprisingly, it took maybe 8 or so minutes to get rung up and on my way home with some nice noodles that were on sale!

This was a really cheap bowl noodle from H-Mart. Let’s see how it is…

So continuing the cavalcade of cup soups, here we have some Maruchan Instant Lunch. Not a very standard rameny flavor but we’ll see how it tastes.
#154: Nissin Cup Noodles Creamy Chicken Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup
So second in our series of cup noodles is the old standard. As it says on the packaging, they’ve been making Cup Noodles since 1971 and Nissin was the first to make cup noodles. Creamy chicken is a newer flavor – I’m sure plain chicken was the original.
#151: Shirakiku Tokusen Miso Ramen Japanese Style Noodles
So here’s another Shirakiku. I’ve enjoyed a lot of their products – most memorably their kizami shoga. This will be the second of their instant noodle line I will review. Here we go!
#149: Maruchan Akai Kitsune Udon Instant Oriental Noodles
So here’s one of the large noodle bowls I have. If you’ll recall, I’ve reviewed Kitsune Udon before – I did Sapporo Ichiban’s. This one’s a little different. The Kitsune is much bigger this time. Also, it’s a bowl!
#148: Myojo Okinawa Soba Japanese Style Noodles With Soup Base
So been really wanting to try this one! Okinawa soba! We needed to spend a little more for the parking validation at Uwajimaya so this looked good! It’s a 5 pack – haven’t see anywhere selling individuals.
#145: Sakurai Foods 100% Vegetarian Ramen
So here’s a new one. I had to add the brand as I’ve never had nor seen this brand before. Not a lot in English aside from the distributor, Hosoda Bros. Inc. and www.sakuraifoods.com.
#130: Sapporo Ichiban Japanese Style Noodles Miso (Soy Bean Paste) Flavor
Thought Miso would turn out to be kind of boring so I’ve been putting it off. But it was a choice today between Sapporo Ichiban Miso and Ottogi Jin Ramyun and Kit picked the Miso so here we go!
#125: Shirakiku Japanese Style Noodle Tokusen Karami Ramen
So here’s a new one… Never tried Shirakiku ramen before! So here goes..
One solitary packet of powder.
#124: Nissin Yakisoba – with Mayonnaise / Mustard Packet
So this stuff is uber elite – probably one of the most amazing things I’ve ever had in the world of instant noodles. It’s 5 / 5 stars right off the bat. I’ve had this maybe three or four times and every time I find it just a little more amazing.
#108: Teriyaki Time Ramen
So for my #100 review, I thought since being jabbed at recently about not having ramen from a restaurant, I’d better try it out. Long story short, I found this bowl rather lackluster. Not very spicy. The noodles were very nice, but the egg wasn’t much. I was left wanting… Something more… I had to give it 2.0 of 5.0 stars
#79: Sapporo Ichiban Kitsune Udon Japanese Style Noodles
Today, Kit & I walked to 99 Ranch Market together which was a lot of fun. I wanted to pick an interesting instant noodle to review, so I went with this one – Sapporo Ichiban Kitsune Udon.
#78: Nissin Demae Ramen Seafood Flavor Instant Noodle
Seeing things like this make me want to break out into a musical number like Peter does on Family Guy. Nothing more lovely than a huge mountain of instant noodles. I really enjoy seeing such things. Today, I got an extra ingredient for dinner, but I’m also going to toss it in the instant noodles too so we’ll see if it works.
#77: Nissin Demae Ramen Prawn Flavor Instant Noodles
Today’s walk to the Asian supermarket was a lot of fun. Was nice to be able to chat with my lady on the phone whilst perusing the noodle aisle of 99 Ranch Market. I gave her the choice of which I should get – Miso, Seafood or Prawn flavor Nissin Demae ramen. I had a feeling she’d go for the prawn flavor…
#74: Nissin Demae Ramen Shoyu Flavor Instant Noodles
So this is one of the few flavors left at 99 Ranch Market for me to try to here we go. Felt like a rather we stuffed package which gave me hopes of an interesting and unique meal with surprises and multiple packets…
#72: Nissin Demae Ramen Tonkotsu Artificial Pork Flavor Instant Noodles
Tuck in folks! Let’s get down with some artificial pork flavoring!
Two flavor packets on this one – Soup base and seasoning sauce.
#71: Nissin Demae Ramen Satay Flavor Instant Noodles
So I liked the Indomie Mi Goreng Satay flavor – this should be good.
Two flavor packets! Not too shabby!
#70: Nissin Demae Ramen XO Sauce Seafood Flavor
I figured this’d be a good gamble. Seafood flavor ramen usually isn’t my thing, but what the heck, let’s be adventurous!
Re-Review: Sapporo Ichiban Chow Mein Japanese Style Noodles
Some might consider this to be beyond nasty, but I’ve found faith in humankind when it comes to these cheap, tasty noodles. Perhaps you will too as ramenrater.com reviews Sapporo Inchiban’s Chow Mein style Japanese noodles.
#65: Nissin Top Ramen Oriental Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup
So after years of reviewing instant ramen noodles, here it is. Finally. Hold onto your coiffure taming device: oriental flavor. I have always considered this to be the most boring of all flavors as it really isn’t that adventurous. We’ll see if it stays in that realm of blandness as I review the latest instant noodles for ramenrater.com.
#64: Sapporo Ichiban Japanese Style Noodles & Chicken Soup
Lime green. A pleasing color to the eye however not one I would triangulate with chicken flavored instant noodles. This is really the only oddity I found here as I sampled Sapporo Ichiban’s Japanese style noodles and chicken flavored soup.
#63: Nissin Souper Meal Chicken Flavor with vegetable medley
Nissin
Cup
3 Stars
So I currently have a cold/giraffe flu and thought perhaps a liquid suspension of sodium and noodles would help. Being the microwave gourmet I am these days, I went for the big sucker pictured here. 1420mg of sodium and some Flonase and I’m starting to perk up! This was a marginal cup noodle. The noodles themselves are rather weak by comparison to Cup Noodle for example. Of course, one plus is the multiple packets. I’m a packet junkie as all Ramen Rater readers know. You get a little dehydrated veggie packet, one with soup base and then one that you add at the end with the mysterious beckoning ‘Finishing Touch.’ The veggies rehydrate quite well and provide a decent amount, but just like all other things, there’s never enough. As I said above, the noodles lacked gumption. As for the ‘Finishing Touch,’ its an oil – probably sesame. All in all, it wasn’t anything to call home about, but nothing to call the police about either. The whole deal surrounding this product is just that its enormous. Get it here.

#57: Doll Instant Fried Noodle w/Chili Sauce [Box]
Doll: Instant Fried Noodle w/Chili Sauce [Box]
Stars: ***
Notes: A nice sqare box of noodles – hot chili flavor was alright – not too hot though.
One thing I found very unique about this particular bowl was that it came with a a little packet of tea!
