Wait for five minutes, a little longer than normal Cup Noodles.

First drink soup. It tastes exactly as same as the soup of Cup Noodles, with good scent and spicy flavor.

Eat rice with soup. Since Cup Noodle Bukkomi Meshi contains rice instead of fried noodle, it tastes lighter than normal Cup Noodles. However, with such a simple taste, it perfectly reproduces "the taste of putting rice into the soup after eating noodles of Cup Noodle".

In order to compare the taste, cook Cup Noodle.
