'Cup Noodle Assassin's Pasta Style Big' Tasting Review with a 'burnt' aroma and spicy tomato soup

Nissin Foods' ' Cup Noodle Assassin's Pasta Style Big ', created in the image of the Italian local dish 'Assassin's Pasta', which was named after its 'deadly deliciousness', was released on September 23, 2024. I was attracted by the impact of the name, so I actually bought it and tried it.

I opened the lid halfway to prepare the food, and I noticed something red and mysterious that looked like meat inside.

When I tried it, it had a crunchy texture and a tomato flavor. It seems to be a 'tomato processed product' as listed in the toppings section.

Add hot water and wait 3 minutes.

Mix well and it's done.

The soup has a strong, slightly burnt tomato aroma and is quite spicy. The soup is different from regular cup noodles in that it has more of the richness of chicken and pork than saltiness, and the slight sourness of the tomatoes is also good. The soup is so well made that you'll want to alternate between the noodles and the soup.

The red lump from earlier had a texture similar to crushed tomatoes.

The suggested retail price for 'Cup Noodle Assassin's Pasta Style Big' is 271 yen (excluding tax).

On Amazon.co.jp, a pack of 12 is available for 3,495 yen including tax.
