The package for Sapporo Ichiban Iwatsuka Confectionery's Banzai Sansho Flavored Sansho Salt Ramen looks like this. Like the Banzai Sansho, it features a product name written with a brush in white ink and a 'cat doing a banzai'.

There was a 'finishing sachet' on the lid.

The ingredients are as follows.

The calorie content was 448 kcal per serving (96 g).

I opened the lid and looked inside. It was topped with arare (rice crackers), kamaboko (fish cake), and green onions.

Pour in boiling water and wait 3 minutes.

3 minutes have passed. The toppings, including the kamaboko, are quite small, and there are no big, noticeable ingredients, so the appearance is quite simple.

Stir well with chopsticks. At this point, the pungent aroma of Japanese pepper will begin to waft through the air.

Add the oil in the finishing packet and it's done.

The soup is light in color, and when you drink it, the aroma of Japanese pepper spreads in your mouth, but it doesn't have a very strong numbing effect, and the flavor of Japanese pepper is merely an accent. The light and gentle soup is made to feel rich by the aroma of Japanese pepper.

The noodles are thin and curly, and go down easily. Before eating, I thought, 'Will I choke if I slurp the sansho-flavored soup too fast?' But in fact, the sansho aroma spreads and there is a slight numbing sensation, so even people who don't like spicy foods can eat it without any problems. As the name 'Banzai Sansho Flavor' suggests, the sansho flavor is just for flavor, and I felt that it was a rather elegant salt ramen.

'Sapporo Ichiban Iwatsuka Confectionery Supervised Banzai Sansho Flavored Sansho Salt Ramen' will be sold at Lawson stores nationwide from Tuesday, August 20, 2024. The standard price is 278 yen including tax.
