I tried 'SUSURU's famous back fat chacha Tokyo Kannana Ramen Joppari' with the umami of back fat and rich soy sauce-based soup that hits the brain.

The extremely popular ramen YouTuber

SUSURU , who has 1.5 million subscribers, chose 'Ramen I want to eat in a cup noodle' from among the ramen he has eaten so far, and Nissin Foods has recreated it in a cup noodle called ' Susuru's Back Fat Chacha Style Tokyo Kannana Ramen Joppari ,' which was released on Monday, May 20, 2024. It is said to be a reproduction of the taste of 'Ramen Shoyu,' the signature menu item of the popular ramen shop ' Tokyo Kannana Ramen Joppari ' in Konosu City, Saitama Prefecture, so I was curious to see what kind of cup noodle it was, so I tried it.

The package of 'SUSURU's groaning back fat chacha Tokyo Kannana Ramen Joppari' looks like this. Even without opening the lid, you can smell the aroma of garlic and pork when you bring your face close to it.

The illustrations of SUSURU are printed on the packets of special flavored oil attached to the sides and lid of the ramen.

'Back fat chacha' is a term used to refer to a type of ramen in which pork back fat is sprinkled on top of the bowl and floated in the soup.

Looking at the raw material names, the soup contains lard, powdered soy sauce, pork seasoning, pork seasoning oil, pork powder, etc., and the toppings are processed back fat, seasoned pork, and green onions.

Each piece contains 375 kcal, which is much lower than you would expect when you hear 'back fat chacha.'

When you open the lid, you'll see powdered soup and toppings on top of the dried noodles. If you look closely, you'll see that it's also mixed with a generous amount of white pork fat.

Pour hot water up to the inside line and leave it on the lid for 5 minutes while the special flavored oil heats up.

Wait 5 minutes, open the lid, add the special flavored oil, mix well, and it's done.

Taking a sip of the soup, you can taste the strong soy sauce base with the punch of garlic, and the umami of the back fat adds to the flavor, giving you a punch right to the brain that you'll become addicted to. The back fat floats in the soup like snow, and when you eat a chunk of it, you can enjoy its fluffy texture.

The noodles are relatively firm for a cup noodle, and are well mixed with the rich soy sauce soup, which is full of the umami flavor of the back fat. With every sip, the addictive flavor of the soup spreads in your mouth, and even though you know in your head that it's dangerous to drink all the soup with so much back fat, you can't help but drink the soup.

'SUSURU's groaning back fat chacha Tokyo Kannana Ramen Joppari' will be available for purchase at retail stores nationwide from Monday, May 20, 2024, and the selling price at nearby convenience stores was 300 yen including tax. Also, at the time of writing, it was available on Amazon.co.jp, and the price was 2940 yen including tax for a set of 12 (245 yen including tax per piece).
