When you open the lid, you'll find the noodles covered in small pieces of fried tofu, white mystery meat, garnishes such as dried onions and carrots, and curry flakes.

Pour in boiling water and wait 3 minutes.

After 3 minutes, I opened the lid again. The strong aroma of Japanese soup stock wafted along with the curry.

First, I tried the soup. It was similar to the curry soup in the regular

Cup Noodle Curry menu, but it had a Japanese flavor and the flavor of bonito flakes was particularly strong.

The noodles are flat and curly. As you slurp the soup vigorously, the umami and aroma of the Japanese-style dashi stock spreads throughout your mouth in addition to the familiar Cup Noodle Curry flavor. At the same time, it has a spiciness similar to that of shichimi pepper, but the spiciness is only felt gradually, so even people who don't like spicy food can eat it without any problems. The fried tofu is soaked in a sweet seasoning, and the slightly chewy white mystery meat and crunchy green onions add a nice accent to the texture. The seafood flavor, including bonito flakes, is quite strong, and with the addition of the moist spiciness and the aroma of green onions, it tasted similar to the curry nanban you would eat at a soba restaurant.
