[YouTube “Ega Channel” collaboration] Squid ink triple garlic mazesoba supervised by Brief Team (398 yen including tax)
I see them being sold out or being resold online and on social media, but in my case, I found them piled up at my local Family Mart, and although they were only selling one item per person, I was able to purchase them without any difficulty.
Let's eat and compare.
[YouTube “Ega Channel” collaboration] Super spicy pork bone ramen supervised by Egashira 2:50
First of all,Super spicy pork bone ramen supervised by Egashira 2:50” I will receive it from.
cooking process
Straight, thin, non-fried noodles.
Kayaku, a large grilled pork, contains green onions, wood ear mushrooms, and sesame seeds, and comes in powdered soup and liquid soup.
Grilled pork, oyster mushrooms, and powdered soup are added, and only the liquid soup is added later.
Add hot water and heat the liquid soup on the lid for 3 minutes.
Finally, add the liquid soup and stir to complete.
Now let's eat.
Soup
It's extremely spicy, and it's really spicy.
It has a piercing spiciness from chili peppers, and I think people who don't like spicy food won't be able to eat it.
After you get past the spiciness, the pork bones come, but this one has a cup ramen-like pork bone flavor similar to the cup ramen sold for around 150 yen for a large serving, and it feels cheap.
As you eat more and more, you get tired of the spiciness, so instead of making it spicy from the beginning, I thought it would be better to make it like a spiciness paste and eat it while adjusting and varying the spiciness.
Noodles
It has a strong wheat taste.
I cooked it for the specified 3 minutes, but I felt that the noodles were soft and needed a bit more firmness.
Personally, when I think of tonkotsu ramen, I think of it as hard noodles.
So, I felt that it would be better to eat a little earlier than the specified time of about 2 to 2 and a half minutes.
Grilled pork
This grilled pork is thick and has a rich flavor.
Many cup ramen grilled pork dishes are cheap and flimsy, but this one is worth the 400 yen price.

Next is “Squid ink triple garlic mazesoba supervised by Brief Team” I will receive it.
cooking process
Non-fried thick noodles.
Kayaku contains octopus and cabbage, and comes with powdered sauce, liquid sauce, garlic powder and garlic chips.
Only the quickest ones are first-in, and the others are last-in.
Add hot water and place the liquid sauce on the lid for 5 minutes.
Since it's mazesoba, I throw away the hot water, add masonry sauce and liquid sauce, mix well, and finish with garlic powder and garlic chips.
Now let's eat.
Sauce
Since this is Mazesoba, there is no soup, so I will introduce the taste of the sauce.
It has a very strong garlic taste.
At first you can feel the punch of garlic, then in the middle you can feel the garlic breadiness, and in the second half you finally get the impression of the sea-like scent of the squid ink.
The noodles may be a little hard, but it's best to chew them well and enjoy the flavor before eating.
It can be said that the garlic punch is too strong, so it seemed like it would be a good idea to add garlic powder and garlic chips while watching the situation.
Since it is squid ink, it leaves some staining not only around the mouth but also on the teeth.
After eating, I thought it would be a good idea to check the area around your mouth and brush your teeth if possible.
Also, because of the smell of garlic while eating it and the bad breath after eating, I think it would be difficult to eat it in front of people at work or school.
Noodles
The noodles are a little hard.
It has a chewy texture, and the texture is slightly al dente with a firmness in the center, although it doesn't go all the way to the core.
Personally, I don't want al dente, just chewy texture, so I thought it would be a good idea to wait longer, 6 to 7 minutes instead of the prescribed 5 minutes.
The noodles had a strong wheat taste, and although the sauce was strong, they had a flavor that could not be overpowered by that, and the noodles had a strong presence.
Impressions
As for my personal impressions. .
``Squid ink triple garlic mazesoba supervised by Brief Team'' is more recommended.
I don't think the squid ink and garlic taste is something that other cup ramen can offer.
『Super spicy pork bone ramen supervised by Egashira 2:50' is also delicious, but honestly, I think if you add chili pepper or spicy mustard greens to other pork bone-flavored cup ramen, you'll get a similar taste.
In that sense, I didn't feel it was new.
It's a high-class cup ramen that costs about 400 yen, so I would recommend the ``Squid Sumi Triple Garlic Mazesoba supervised by Brief Team'' even if it means that you can't usually eat it.
It's expensive for a cup ramen, but I think even people other than Ega-chan fans should try it at least once.
『MisokinI don't think there is as much competition as there is, but if you are interested, please hurry as quantities are limited.
