Here’s one sent by the Butlers of Illinois! Thank you again! They got this and many more for me during a trip they took to Illinois! This is actually made in Italy. Yep – Italian yakisoba! I’ve long known of this brand’s existence, and now it’s time to give it a try – let’s do it!

Saikebon Yakisoba Gourmet Orientale Classic – Italy

Here’s the back of the package (click to enlarge). Looks to be meat free but check for yourself. To prepare, add noodles and dry sachet to 150ml boiling water. Cook for 3 minutes. Add in liquid base sachet. Finally, stir and enjoy!

The noodle block.

A liquid base sachet.

Smells like yakisoba sauce.

A dry sachet.

Looks like scallion.

Finished (click to enlarge). Added spring onion. The noodles came out well. They were interesting too – kind of sloppy. The sauce covered everything and was kind of like a light yakisoba sauce. The vegetable sachet contents were mostly greenery and did well. To be honest, it seemed like a very wet yakisoba with a light flavor and more like it was in a sauce than just flavored yakisoba which is dryer. Interesting! 3.75 out of 5.0 stars.  EAN bar code 8000050024140.
