So here’s what the folks at Japan Crate had to say about this variety – ‘Enjoy Kenko Foods’s healthy take on Yakisoba! This easy to make stir fry is a quick meal that won’t have you feeling sluggish and heavy.’
Sounds good – bring it on!
Here’s the back of the package (click to enlarge). Unsure whether it has meat – check for yourself. To prepare, boil 180ml water in a skillet and cook noodle block. Once water is absorbed (3 minutes), add in sachet contents. Finally, stir and enjoy!
This one got a little beaten up in the hamper.
A liquid base sachet.
Yakisoba sauce.
A garnish sachet.
Looks like seaweed and perhaps a little more.
Finished (click to enlarge). Noodle ended up a little on the sticky side. Kind of gooey – then again much of it was broken so that may account for part of it. The flavor was alright – a kind of different yakisoba – not as sharp or crisp a hit to it than I’m used to. The sprinkle of garnish was pretty good – like a seaweed mix that works well. 3.0 out of 5.0 stars. JAN bar code 4973044020142.
I make yakisoba all the time for my family. Usually I use boneless chicken breast and skip the shiitake

So here’s what the folks at Japan Crate had to say about this variety -“This is another ramen from the Umakaro series! This one is a classic green onion ramen with a distinct shrimp flavor.”
It’s nice – they have recommendations for garnishes and this one mentions adding bacon. I have an idea for a bit of a spin on bacon I’m hoping might work well. Let’s delve into this bowl!
Here’s the bottom and sides (click to enlarge). Contains seafood. To prepare, add in sachet contents and add boiling water to fill line. Cover for 3 minutes. Finally, stir and enjoy!
Detail of the lid (click to enlarge).
The noodle block.
The soup base sachet/.
A dark powder base.
A second dry sachet.
Looks like spring onion.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added a slice of chashu pork I slowly fried as I was devoid of bacon, Salad Cosmo mung bean sprouts, and nanami togarashi. Noodles were pretty good – not colossal but decent. The broth had this kind of vegetable taste to it I liked – a bit of spring onion taste in there but not overpowering. 4.25 out of 5.0 stars. JAN bar code 4979397770130.

So yeah a lot of different varieties. I really like how they include the information about each variety in English – that saves me a ton of time on translation and I could see how consumers would really like this.
Was stoked to find another box in the mail – this time a box from Zenpop.jp, a company that sells Japanese themed boxes with all sorts of different things in them. Haven’t seen a rfancy box like this one from them before – also wasn’t sure how they were going to fit a lot of varieties of instant noodles in here like the others contained. Let’s crack it open and look within!

As it turned out, this is a different kind of box than what they had been sending me. This one wasn’t just instant ramen but snacks and candy from Japan as well! Thank you! Very interesting things inside this box – fried egg-shaped chocolate, wasabi and beef flavored things that resemble gigantic Cheetos – really neat.
