Advent Calendar Day 9: Nissin Demae Ramen Sesame - Germany

Advent Calendar Day 8: #5582: Nissin Soba Teriyaki Flavor – Germany

Advent Calendar Day 8: #5582: Nissin Soba Teriyaki Flavor – Germany

I started doing these last Monday and now it’s a new week with day number eight. So far so good – I think it’ll get a little tricky once we get towards my daughter’s birthday but the train will go throughout I tell ya!  Got some extreme weather for this area coming up this week. Time to cook! ...see full post

Advent Calendar Day 7: #5581: Nissin Ramen Korean Hot Chili Flavour Pocket Snack – Germany

Advent Calendar Day 7: #5581: Nissin Ramen Korean Hot Chili Flavour Pocket Snack - Germany

Here’s another one I’ve not tried and it’s interesting. This one isn’t produced in Hungary like the previous ones I’ve shown but instead in Vietnam. I’ve noticed many companies producing in Vietnam – guessing that there’s a really good reason for this, probably has to do with cost and production volume? But that’s kinda outside my purview. This one’s Vegetarian friendly and touts a Korean spicy flavor. Sounds good – let’s give it a go! ...see full post

Advent Calendar Day 6: #5580: Nissin Soba Sweet & Sour – Germany

Advent Calendar Day 6: #5580: Nissin Soba Sweet & Sour – Germany

Good morning, or good afternoon – it’s Saturday! We were up late – watched a movie called The Substance – if you like weird, it’s gonna fit the bill. Anyways, it’s a big day around here. My daughter Mimi is taking part in a special ‘Chorus Club’ performance at city hall with her school music class so that’s pretty awesome. But first thing I’m doing is editing images of noodles/taking pictures, etc. Next is to do this post and then cook, so that’s what’s going on. Let’s do this. ...see full post

Advent Calendar Day 3: #5578: Nissin Soba Classic – Germany

Advent Calendar Day 3: #5578: Nissin Soba Classic - Germany

This s a bigger undertaking thank I expected! Woke up, shot a quick video, edited images… I usually will do three reviews in a day but a set schedule for ones I’ve not reviewed (I’ve had this but not in this version of packaging) is pretty hardcore! It is fun though – let’s get this reviewed! ...see full post

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!

#5375: Nissin Cup Noodles Turkey Dinner Flavor Ramen Noodles In Sauce – United States

#5575: 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. ...see full post

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!” ...see full post

#5543: 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! ...see full post

It’s topped with tasty beni shoga (red pickled ginger) tempura, perfect for the season!” ...see full post

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.

#5242: Nissin Cup Noodles Dill Pickle Ramen Noodles In Sauce – United States

#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. ...see full post

#5234: Nissin Demae Ramen Miso - Germany

Once in a while, I have a horrible review day and this is one of them. I was really looking forward to this; given how much I’ve enjoyed the previous Demae Ramen varieties from Germany, I was really stoked. Well, I lost the lone sachet of seasoning. In the video below, I spent most of the time looking through the trash to no avail. Ugh. This doesn’t get a score but it may make you laugh. Hopefully the kind folks will send another. ...see full post
