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.

Nissin Germany Sends Ramen Advent Calendar – We Begin TOMORROW!

Last year, Nissin Germany was kind enough to send one of these – however it didn’t arrive in time to do it. Well, rather unexpectedly, this year’s version arrived yesterday – just in time to start on Monday December 1st! With that, here is a vide of the unboxing. I’m going to do one variety every day until the day before Christmas. This is gonna be fun! Huge thanks to Nissin Deutschland for sending this over – very kind! By the way – here they are on Amazon Germany!
#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.
#5266: Nissin Cup Noodles Miso Vegetable – Germany

Here’s another German Cup Noodles variety – very curious so let’s get to it.

#5357: Nissin U. F. O. 3 Cheese Gyudon 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 – “We’re keeping up the cheese party with another tasty bowl of yakisoba! This bowl features yakisoba noodles in a sweet n’ spicy gyudon-inspired sauce and a 3-cheese mayo made with edam, parmesan and romano cheese. This bowl is packed with flavor that you’ll love!”
#5349: Nissin Cup Noodles Pumpkin Pie Flavor Ramen Noodles In Sauce – United States

Hey look at this one! Big thank you to my wife Kit for getting me this! Only at Walmart. So, haven’t we gone through this before? Yes and no. Yes, it’s identical in every way to the pumpkin spicy flavor Cup Noodles – except one little thing. The name. They changed the name from spice to pie – why? I don’t know. New barcode now as well. To see both and a myriad of weird things to do with it, check out my definitive guide here. I’m gonna do it up real pretty. Let’s do it up!
#5334: Nissin Cup Noodle 3-Cheese Chicken White Broth 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 – “Let’s up the celebration with a cup of cheesy ramen! This ramen features a rich, savory white chicken broth that is made even richer with the 3- cheese powder, combining parmesan, emmental and gouda! Perfect for a fun hanami celebration!”
#5310: Nissin Donbei Beni Shoga Tempura Soba – Japan

Here’s a variety that I found in one of MiauMall’s Nakama Noodles subscription boxes! These are discontinued, however you can find their stuff at MiauMall – here is what they said about this one – “We had to bring this popular, limited-edition tempura soba back! This pretty, pink soba bowl has delicious soba noodles in a savory katsuo dashi (Japanese soup stock) and soy sauce soup! It’s topped with tasty beni shoga (red pickled ginger) tempura, perfect for the season!”
#5281: Nissin Chow Mein Chicken Flavor – United States

Tried this 12 years ago. Packaging has changed as well as what’s in there – let’s give it a whirl in the microwave!
#5279: Nissin Cup Noodles Stir Fry Rice With Noodles General Tso’s Chicken Fllavor – United States

Here’s a new packaging variety from the ‘states. These contain instant rice as well as little bits of noodle – last one I tried was quite nice – let’s give it a go!
#5277: Nissin Cup Noodles Stir Fry Rice Korean Spicy Beef Flavor – United States

I’ve done a lot of reviews lately of things that arrived in a Nissin Germany advent calendar box. This particular variety arrived in a box from Nissin USA that contained every noodle product they make! Let’s cook this one up!
#5276:Nissin Cup Noodles Beef Aromatic Spicy Soup – Germany

I think this is the very last of the German Cup Noodles – it has been a lot of fun reviewing them! They came in a big advent calendar the folks at Nissin Germany sent – thanks again! Let us begin.
#5274: Nissin Cup Noodles Duck Sweet Onion Soup – Germany

Another one that came from the big advent calendar Nissin Germany sent – thanks again! These cups and packs have been a lot of fun! Let’s cook!
#5270: Nissin Cup Noodles Shrimps Soy Sauce – Germany

Well, I’ve got shrimps and I have varieties that would like shrimps in them so today I’m using shrimps. So there – let’s cook!
#5269: Nissin Chow Mein Spicy Teriyaki Beef Flavor – United States

This one came out of the gargantuan National Noodle Day box Nissin sent. I looked it up and I reviewed this once before – in 2013. Let’s revisit this one – done a lot differently as for my garnish than the first time.
#5263: Nissin Cup Noodles Spicy Hot Chili – Germany

Here’s another cup from the big advent calendar box! I was tepid on reviewing these as I did awhile back, but the chicken one I did the other day was excellent, so I’m wondering if they’ve redone these. I’m excited to try this one – so let us begin.
A Donation Of Prison Ramen!

A big Thank you to Aimee from the Ramen Junkies Facebook group! I’ve never had a Nissin Top Ramen corrections-style variety before and so this is the first and I’m STOKED. There’s really no correlating variety outside of prisons and jail like this flavor. Fascinating. Watch and check it out – and thanks again!
#5258: Nissin Cup Noodles Chicken Classic Asian Style – Germany

Here’s anothe from the Nissin Germany advent calendar! Let’s cook!
Nissin Cup Noodles Chicken Classic Asian Style – Germany

Detail of the side panels (click to enlarge). Unsure if it contains meat check for yourself. To prepare, fill to line with boiling water and cover for 3 minutes. Finally, stir and enjoy!
#5247: Nissin Demae Ramen Duck Flavour – Germany

Another one from the big Nissin Germany Advent Calendar! Let’s quack up some duck!
Nissin Demae Ramen Duck Flavour – Germany

Detail of the packaging (click to enlarge). Looks to be meat free but check for yourself. To prepare, boil noodle in 500ml water for 3 minutes. Add in sachet contents. Finally, stir and enjoy!
#5246: Nissin Cup Noodle White Tan Tan 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 – “We’re dreaming of a white Christmas with this tasty cup of ramen! This cup is a fun twist on the Sichuan-style Tan Tan ramen with soy milk that adds amazing creaminess. But don’t worry! You’ll still get that classic Tan Tan kick from Sichuan-style spices and chili oil!”
#5242: Nissin Cup Noodles Dill Pickle Ramen Noodles In Sauce – United States

When I found out about these, I was skeptical. I’ve been preaching two varieties – pizza and taco flavored. But dill pickle doesn’t make sense to me; dill pickles aren’t served warm unless on a hamburger as far as I know. On the bright side, they were at Walmart at $1.18. On the sad side, if they did do media kits of these, they didn’t send me one and I’m truly bummed about that. I’m trying these out on July 3rd and will release this post on the 5th, skipping the 4th as I’m guessing you’ve got better things to do than hear my thoughts about instant noodles on the 4th of July if you’re in the states. I did release a post yesterday though.
#5237: Nissin Demae Ramen Sesame – Germany

Well, a few reviews back I was bummed as I lost a sachet, making it impossible to review the miso variety… I’m watching this one like a hawk. Let’s cook!
