shimadaya ramen
One neat thing about Shimadaya’s ramen is that there are three flavor packets! There’s a packet of soup base, a packet of seasoning oil, and a pack of spices. Those of you who enjoy reading ingredients will find that there’s both chicken extract and chicken extract powder, two kinds of fat (the seasoning oil is basically a mixture of chicken fat and pork fat), and two helpings of MSG (in the soup base as well as in the “spices”). Yum! (more…)

nissin shoyu
Deja vu…nissin’s shoyu ramen reminded me so much of maruchan’s shoyu ramen that i had to doublecheck the package. Nissin’s noodles are just as good, with a nice firm texture, and the soup is just as good. Just like the maruchan ramen, this is quite good, but not spectacular. It earns an 8.

In a nutshell, this is a very average ramen. The noodles are nicely chewy, though they have a tendency to really clump together and become a too-hard-to-chew mess. The soup is just so-so. I can only give this a 5.5 (half point off for the clumpiness factor).

ramen
Very average ramen with skinny so-so noodles and decent shoyu soup. You get a piece of mystery meat and some green onions and that’s it. This gets a 6.

So is it shoyu or tonkotsu? Unfortunately, it doesn’t really matter. So-so noodles and so-so soup makes this a very average nondescript ramen. It gets a 6.

Wow…everyone’s favorite college-student-cheap ramen has a semi-fresh ramen! It’s made in the U.S. and I found it at our local 99 Ranch (Chinese supermarket) so it should be relatively easy to find. And guess what…it’s actually pretty darn good! The noodles are a little bit skinny but chewy and tasty. The soup is a decent shoyu base…nothing magnificent but solid. This gets a solid 8.
