Ichiban Original
August 9th, 2005
The popular ramen of Sapporo district’s many noodle shops or restaurants are famous in Japan. Some shops are so small that it barely has a couple of seatings.
This pretentiously named brand is a cut above the basic staple variety. Don’t get this original flavor thing, did they blunder like Coca Cola with its reversal to Coke Classic?
At 3.5 oz., it is larger than the more common 3 oz. Maruchan economy brand. As prepared, the springy noodles held up nicely in the hot soup without being milky, the bane of its cheaper rival. The soy sauce flavor sauce served the noodles well as I ate it, certainly worth buying over the cheap stuffs.

- Add noodles and simmer 3 minutes, stir occasionally.
