I found Nissin's Strongest Donbei Duck Broth Soba at the supermarket. Its gold and purple color scheme is a sure sign.

I bought it. The package says 'The Strongest' and 'Exceptional Taste.'

Looking at the ingredients, we can see that the soup is made with ingredients that have a strong umami flavor, such as duck extract, duck seasoned oil, duck fat, seafood extract, and bonito flakes powder.

The calories per serving are 423kcal and the salt equivalent is 5.4g.

The container contained 'special duck oil' and 'fragrant duck stock.'

The toppings are 'seasoned chicken meatballs' and 'green onions.' The meatballs are larger than the regular Nissin Donbei duck broth soba.

Pour in boiling water and heat the oil and stock on the lid for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, add the special duck oil.

Pour in the fragrant duck stock as well.

Mix well and it's done.

The finished Nissin Strongest Donbei Duck Dashi Soba looks like this.

When you sip the soup, you can taste the flavor of duck along with the flavor of charcoal-grilled meat, giving it an excellent luxurious soba flavor.

The noodles are thicker than the regular Nissin Donbei Duck Broth Soba, so they cling to the soup well.

The large chicken meatballs were well-absorbed in the soup, and the delicious feeling of the soup oozing out as you put them in your mouth was a delight. The soup, noodles, and ingredients all had a premium flavor, making for a truly special experience.

Nissin's Saikyo Donbei Duck Broth Soba has a suggested retail price of 280 yen (excluding tax), and a 12-meal set is available on Amazon.co.jp for 4,650 yen (tax included) (388 yen per meal). The Saikyo Donbei series often sells out by New Year's Eve, so if you want to enjoy it as New Year's Eve soba, we recommend getting it early.
