hmm…a potato ramen from hokkaido…and yep, there’re 3 chunks of potatoes inside, which melted(?) by the time i finished eating…interesting…the potatoes aren’t bad…the soup is so-so…the noodles are flat and kind of curly, reminiscent of nissin cup o’ noodle noodles, which isn’t necessarily bad…just not that great…i give it a 6
ramen rating
very…ordinary but in a decent way. the meat is the typical poor excuse for a sliver of meat in these instant ramens…but it’s…slightly…spicy? …iiiiiiinteresting…well it’s not great but it’s not bad. it gets a 5.

i believe this is supposed to be based on the ramen from this ramen store. at first, this tasted pretty good. skinny noodles, which i’m not too crazy about, but not bad, and the tonkotsu soup was very fragrant. the soup is a bit milder than the other tonkotsu ramens i’ve had. overall it wasn’t...

tonkotsu-shoyu soup…i think the instant noodles that’re tonkotsu based are all pretty flavorful…yeah, i probably should’ve realized it earlier…this one has good soup and good noodles…the meat brings it down though…chewy and veiny…i give it a 7…8 without the meat.
noooooooo!
sigh…i bought this key chain at the ramen museum in shin yokohama, japan. (here’s another link in english.) last november. while it’s a very nice reproduction of a typical ramen bowl and soup spoon, it’s ceramic, and thus pretty fragile for a key chain…unfortunately… i also found some great photos of the museum.

wow…this one’s nice…so fragrant you can smell it from 10 feet away…it’s a black sesame oil tonkotsu soup. very very flavorful. even though i usually prefer a shoyu soup base to the tonkotsu type, this one is great! i give it a 9!

cute packaging and cool flower-shaped fish cakes can’t hide the fact that this ramen isn’t very good. the meat is the typical paper-thin flavorless type. the soup was alright though. it gets a 6.

argh…can’t remember…i *think* it was pretty good…oh wait…i think the noodles were good, but the soup was just so-so. um…6 out of 10?

interesting container…there’s a built-in strainer so you can cook the noodles, dump the water, then put in fresh water for the soup. neato! the meat was yummy…juicy and melts in your mouth…too bad the noodles and soup were just so-so…without meat it gets a 5…with the meat it gets a 6.

really average ramen, but it was on sale for 99 cents!. it’s got bits of seaweed, corn, green onion, and sesame seeds. it gets a 5.
ramen rating: wakame
lots and lots and lots of seaweed…but otherwise just decent. soup is mild and just a tiny bit spicy. noodles are very average. i give it a 6 (7 if you really like seaweed!)

another tonkotsu soup based ramen…this time the *flavor *is ok but kind’a bland and the soup powder didn’t dissolve too well. the noodles are the thin kind and boring. it’s not *bad*…just not particularly good. i give it a 5…plus a bonus half point for having the incredibles on the cover.
