Soy Sauce-Flavored Instant Ramen

NISSIN and Tablelog Work Together for the Fourth Time

— February 10, 2021 — Lifestyle
NISSIN works in collaboration with Tablelog for the fourth time -- the duo launch a shoyu flavored instant ramen. The flavor is a recipe drawn from a Yokohama shop, Sakurai Chuka Soba. This restaurant has been listed as a part of the top 100 ramen shops in Eastern Japan two years in a row.

The owner, Keigo Sakurai played a role in the production of the instant ramen. The top of the bowl is stamped with branding of the shop's Tablelog rating of an impressive "4.02" along with an image of the shop itself. The noodles are a medium thick cut and non-fried to give it the traditional chewy texture, pairing perfectly with the chicken oil broth.
