To offer the comforts of both fast food and ramen noodles in a single meal, Nissin is now launching the 'Cup Noodle Potenage Big.'
While Nissin's normal Cup Noodles come in 77-gram sizes, the Cup Noodle Big boasts 94 grams of product. This oversized instant noodle product gets its name, "potenage,” from a combination of the Japanese words for potato and nuggets. The unique instant noodle cup features a unique range of ingredients, including black pepper, chicken nuggets, fried potatoes and a soy sauce-based broth.
While Nissin has introduced Cup Noodle products in the past that are meant to taste like pizza, this fast food-inspired creation aims to emulate the experience of eating fries and chicken nuggets in an entirely new form.
