'Special Cup Noodle' is newly introduced from Nissin Foods, and all four types of normal, curry, seafood, and chili tomato are compared with regular products
On Monday, September 11, 2023, four new products from the ' Special Cup Noodles ' series will be released by Nissin Foods. Both the soup and the ingredients are ``special'', and it is finished as an item that should be called ``feast'' anymore, and ingredients that are not found in regular items such as ``mysterious meat of the largest size ever'' and ``potatoes with skin'' are also used. It is said that there is. Such a cup noodle was sent to the editorial department, so I ate it ahead of time to see how special it was.
4 items in the “Special Cup Noodles” series (released on September 11th) | Nissin Foods Group
From the left, ' Special Cup Noodle ', ' Special Cup Noodle Curry ', ' Special Cup Noodle Seafood Noodle ' and ' Special Cup Noodle Chili Tomato Noodle '. The package design is based on gold, giving it a gorgeous feel.
This time I bought the regular product for comparison. From the left, ' Cup Noodle ' ' Cup Noodle Curry ' ' Cup Noodle Seafood ' ' Cup Noodle Chili Tomato Noodle '.
Let's start by eating and comparing the normal 'Cup Noodles'. The most eye-catching thing is the special truffle-flavored oil placed on the lid.
First of all, check the ingredients of 'Special Cup Noodles'. Salt, chicken extract, pork extract, etc. are used.
Regular Cup Noodles contains Kayaku (seasoned pork), which is not found in Tokujo. Other than that, there was no difference in the raw materials used, and there was only a difference in the order of description.
The calorie content is 378 kcal per serving of the special version.
The regular product has 351kcal per serving.
Remove the oil bag and open the lid halfway.
The difference in ingredients is as follows. The one on the left is 'Tokujo'.
If you take out the mystery meat that seems to be the largest and compare the sizes, you can see that the mystery meat on the left that is in the special is clearly larger. The release stated that it was ``1.5 times the normal size'', but it looks a little bigger.
Add hot water and wait 3 minutes.
After 3 minutes, add oil and mix well.
``Special Cup Noodles'' has a strong truffle taste and aroma and has an elegant flavor. You can clearly see that the scent is different from normal cup noodles due to the presence of truffles, but the taste of the soup is also clearly different. Some truffle-flavored cup noodles often have too strong a scent of truffles to understand well, but 'special cup noodles' had a good balance between truffles and soup.
Next, we will try 'curry'.
The ingredients for ``Special Cup Noodle Curry'' include curry powder, onions, and spices.
'Cup noodle curry' uses peanut butter for soup, and on the other hand, 'special cup noodle curry' has differences such as using processed cheese and tomato powder for soup.
The calorie content is 425kcal per serving of the special version.
The regular product has 422kcal per serving.
Open the lid halfway. Both have quick fried potatoes, but the special is 'with skin', so I'm wondering how this difference comes out.
After 3 minutes after adding hot water, add the ``special fragrant spice'' and mix well.
The color of the special soup is clearly darker, and you can see that it is 'thick' when mixed.
When several editorial staff ate it, ``The regular product has a slightly stronger salty taste and is less spicy.'' ``The special one has a stronger scent.'' , It looks like a curry roux where the regular product is more lumpy”, and the completeness of the regular version of “Cup Noodle Curry” has been highlighted again. As for the potatoes, I thought that the normal product was a little soft and had a uniform texture, and the special product had both the texture of the skin and the crunchiness of the meat.
The third thing to try is 'seafood.'
Seasoned shrimp, squid, fish paste products, etc. are used as raw materials for 'Special Cup Noodle Seafood'.
'Cup Noodle Seafood' does not have 'shrimp'.
The calorie content is 377kcal per serving of the special version.
The regular product is 340kcal per serving.
The difference in ingredients is as follows.
Add hot water and after 3 minutes, mix well and it's done.
When you slurp the special noodles, it's tingling and spicy, and after that, the scent of the seashore, which is unique to seafood, penetrates your nose. The regular version has a mellow butter-like flavor and is less spicy. If you want to enjoy the lighter taste of seafood, this is the best choice. However, there was also an opinion that ``Although the aroma is different, there is not much difference in taste.''
The last one is 'chili tomato'.
The ingredients for ``Special Cup Noodle Chili Tomato Noodle'' include tomato powder, clam seasoning, processed cheese, natural cheese, corn, processed tomato products, and green beans.
There were differences mainly in the contents of the soup, such as the lack of 'pork seasoning' and 'natural cheese' in the ingredients of 'Cup Noodle Chili Tomato Noodle'.
The special calorie is 399kcal per serving.
The calorie of regular items is 354 kcal per meal.
The difference in ingredients is as follows.
3 minutes after adding hot water, add the special hot chili flavored oil and mix well to complete.
The completion is like this, the special one is more reddish.
The special is a firm spiciness that makes you cough. It's hot like Tabasco, sweet and sour, and it feels like there's a tomato flavor in the hot place. The mysterious meat that chili peppers are mixed in has the umami of spices and crumbles. There was also an opinion that ``the regular product has a taste that makes you want to add something, and the special is a good product that is completed by itself.''
The prices for ``Special Cup Noodles,'' ``Special Cup Noodles Curry,'' ``Special Cup Noodles Seafood Noodles,'' and ``Special Cup Noodles Chili Tomato Noodles'' are all 259 yen excluding tax. In addition, the suggested retail price of all four types of regular items is 236 yen excluding tax, and 'special' was 23 yen higher.
A product page has already been created on Amazon.co.jp, and you can pre-order a set of 20 for 4,543 yen including tax (approximately 227 yen per item).
