'Nissin Donbei Chicken Salt Udon with Layered Wasabi' Tasting Review, where the udon goes smoothly with a refreshing feeling created by the W wasabi

The 'Nissin Donbei' series will be joined by ' Nissin Donbei Chicken Salt Udon with Layered Wasabi Fragrance' which uses two types of wasabi from Monday, May 27, 2024. I was interested in the Donbei which is made by adding 'layered wasabi paste' made from mountain wasabi with a pungent spiciness that goes through the nose and real wasabi with a refreshing aroma to the 'chicken salt soup' which is infused with the umami of chicken, so I actually tried it.

Looking at the ingredients column, you can see that the soup contains 'processed horseradish products' and 'processed real wasabi products.' In addition, the toppings include 'chicken meatballs' and 'green onions.'

The calorie content is 355kcal per 82g serving.

When I opened the lid, there was a bag of powdered soup and layered wasabi paste inside.

Add boiling water and wait 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, add the powdered soup and mix well.

Finally, add the layer of wasabi paste and it's done.

'Chicken Shio Tsuyu' is a light chicken-based soup. The aroma of wasabi dissolved from the paste enhances the flavor of the chicken and whets the appetite.

When you slurp up the noodles with the soup, the first thing you feel is the spiciness of the mountain wasabi, which pleasantly stimulates the back of your nose, followed by the mild, refreshing taste of real wasabi that passes from your mouth to your nose. The refreshing flavor of the two types of wasabi, which you can enjoy at different times, brings out the flavor of the light soup, making this udon easy to eat even when you don't have much of an appetite due to humid weather.

On the other hand, pure wasabi itself has a mild spiciness, so if you're the type who likes to add lots of seasonings to your noodles, you might want to prepare some extra wasabi beforehand.
