Special cup noodles
On Monday, September 2, 2024, you can enjoy soup and ingredients that are a step higher than ordinary cup noodles.Special cup noodles' has been released.
- normal
- curry
- seafood
- chili tomato
Four standard flavors have been released, and they are sold at supermarkets and convenience stores nationwide for 259 yen (excluding tax).
I immediately purchased all types, so let's try them and review them.
normal
First of all, let's start with the most standard ``normal” I will receive it from.
What makes it special is the ingredients.almost matsutake mushroom' has been added.
As an accessory,Special matsutake flavored oil” is there.
This is before adding hot water.
Add hot water, wait 3 minutes, and eat.
When you add oil, you can definitely smell the matsutake mushrooms.
The noodles are the same as always.
The texture is almost like a matsutake mushroom, and combined with the aroma of the oil, it makes you feel as if you are eating a matsutake mushroom.
Normal impression
You can definitely feel the flavor of matsutake mushrooms.
However, since you can feel the flavor of matsutake mushrooms from beginning to end, you will get a little tired of it in the second half.
However, since you can feel the flavor of matsutake mushrooms from beginning to end, you will get a little tired of it in the second half.
I felt it would be good to use it in a different way, such as adding it after eating a little bit of oil.
This is the most important thing. .
To be honest, the compatibility between normal and matsutake mushrooms is a little strange, and I felt like I was eating something different: ramen with the flavor of matsutake mushrooms.
curry
Next is “curry” I will receive it.
Ingredients ``Large egg/beef mystery meat” has been added, but I feel like the mystery meat is a little bigger.
As an accessory,Special truffle & butter oil” is there.
This is before adding hot water.
Add hot water, wait 3 minutes, and eat.
When you add the oil, you can definitely smell the truffle and butter.
The noodles are the same as always.
If you ask me about the mystery meat, it might be bigger than usual, but I don't feel like there's that much of a difference.
Curry impressions
I get the impression that the arrangement has been added to make the curry scented with butter.
I didn't really taste the truffle when I was eating it, but I could really taste it after I finished eating it, so I thought it was actually in there.
Normal was different, but I felt a difference in the arrangement of Curry and the direction of the ``Special'' series.
seafood
Next is “seafood” I will receive it.
Ingredients ``almost sea urchin' has been added.
``Special sea urchin scented butter oil'' is included as an accessory.
This is before adding hot water.
Add hot water, wait 3 minutes, and eat.
When you add oil, the scent of sea urchin spreads.
The noodles were the same as usual, but the oil was a sea urchin yellow to orange color, so the soup had that color.
『almost sea urchin” has a distinct taste of sea urchin, but it is different from the alum smell, but it even reproduces the smell of eating sea urchin of poor quality.
Seafood impressions
``Almost sea urchin'' itself has a strong smell, so it's a little strange, but the combination of sea urchin, butter, and seafood gives it a flavor similar to sea urchin carbonara, which I think is delicious.
The sea urchin soup itself has no smell, and I think it expresses the creaminess and sweetness of the sea urchin.
I don't recommend it to people who don't like sea urchin, but I think it's worth a try.
chili tomato
Finally, ``chili tomato” I will receive it.
The ingredients include ``rosemary mystery meat' has been added.
As an accessory,Special hot chili flavored oil” is there.
The normal ones used matsutake mushrooms, the curry ones had truffles, and the seafood ones had sea urchins, all of which had a high-class feel to them, but only the chili tomatoes didn't have that luxurious feel. . ? That's what I think.
This is before adding hot water.
Add hot water, wait 3 minutes, and eat.
The noodles are the same as always.
『rosemary mystery meat” I can hardly feel the rosemary.
Chili tomato impressions
The ``Special Hot Chili Flavored Oil'' tastes like Tabasco.
I get the impression that there's no way Tabasco and tomatoes don't go together.
What I'm curious about is that if you ask me if Tabasco is special, I'd say it's not. .
Also, I think the direction is to create curry and an arrangement, rather than separate things like normal or seafood.
And since it's a simple arrangement of Tabasco and tomato that everyone has tried (or tried), I wonder if it's worth offering as a special. .
Overall impression
As for the normal seafood, I got the impression that it was different from the matsutake ramen and sea urchin carbonara, rather than being special.
Regarding the curry and chili tomato, I am satisfied with the expression "special quality" in that the original taste is utilized, but the ingredients are strengthened and the arrangement is made with butter, truffle, and chili sauce.
It's hard to say that the direction varies depending on the taste. .
I wish they had a unified direction, whether it was to create something different or an arrangement that would bring out the original flavor. .
If I had to rank them, I think it would go something like this.
- seafood
- curry
- chili tomato
- normal
I think seafood is delicious, so I think it's worth trying at least once.
Other than that, I think it's normal enough, so I don't think there's any need to eat it.
To be more honest, I thought it would be more delicious if you made your own arrangements, such as dropping a raw egg into each regular item rather than the special one. .
