Technically this a chuka soba, which is slightly different from a “regular” ramen because the noodles are lower in far and not fried in oil before they’re packaged. The noodles are super skinny, and a bit bland and not very “chewy.” The soup is a decent shoyu flavor. Overall, this gets a 6.r,
Continuing with the regional ramen theme, this ramen hails from Hokkaido. Hakodate (city in Hokkaido) is supposed to be famous for their shio ramen. The noodles are nice a chewy. It’s a nice combination with the salty but light soup. There’s also just a touch of sesame oil and sesame seeds in the soup. Nicely done. This ramen gets an 8.
Our local Marukai is having a regional ramen sale. This is supposed to be a Tokyo tsukemen but I don’t really taste anything special. Tsukemen is an odd ramen where the noodles are served seperate from the soup. Tokyo tsukemen is supposed to be cold. You dip the noodles into the soup like you would with cold soba. The noodles are quite good, as usual for this kind of “fresh” ramen, but the soup is so-so and non-descript. The noodles get an 8, but the soup only gets a 6.
another “fresh” ramen. the soup is really average but the noodles are good!
i give the soup a 6, and the noodles an 8.5! man…if only i can combine this one with the 1st fresh one!
this is a “fresh” ramen. yummy soup but so-so noodles. i give the soup an 8 and the noodles a 5.
you’re really supposed to add your own ingredients to this type of box ramen, like veggies and onions and maybe some meat…without additional goodies, it’s very very average…both the noodles and the soup is just boooring…it gets a 5
