Taiwan ramen noodle is Japanese food? Maniac Nagoya taste Instant noodle.

Taiwan ramen noodle is Japanese food? political problem?

ダウンロードIf you don’t know Japanese language, you think this is one of Japanese instant noodle with spicy package design.

But actually it is really confusing instant noodle.

Because name of this instant noodle is “Taiwan Ramen”, it means “Taiwanese ramen noodle. And sub title says this taste is Nagoya taste. Nagoya is one of the big cities in Japan. So we can say this is Japanese taste Taiwanese ramen noodle.

You will say, “Japanese taste Taiwanese ramen noodle? I understand it. It’s not seemed to be so special. What is the surprising point?

Now I answer it.

Surprising point is Taiwan ramen noodle is only in Japan. You cannot eat Taiwan ramen noodle in Taiwan because it was created Taiwanese who live in Japan as Japanese food.

If you go to Taiwan and order Taiwan ramen noodle, Taiwan people cannot understand Taiwan ramen noodle.

Of course there are lots of ramen noodle in Taiwan. All ramen noodles in Taiwan are not Taiwan ramen noodle that Japanese people think.

And I must say this confusing ramen noodle is no relation with Chinese political problem. 😛

Story of Taiwan ramen noodle.

this Tainanese restaurant at Nagoya "Misen" invent Taiwan ramen in Japan.
this Tainanese restaurant at Nagoya “Misen” invent Taiwan ramen in Japan.

Taiwan ramen noodle is created by Taiwanese cook who is owner of Taiwan restaurant “Misen” in Nagoya.

Nagoya is famous for spicy miso. So this Taiwanese cook adds this spicy miso with ordinary Taiwan ramen noodle (Dan zai noodles).

And this Taiwan cooks master start to sell this ramen noodle as Taiwan noodle ramen even though such ramen noodle don’t exist in Taiwan.

Because this Taiwan ramen noodle is delicious, it spread gradually.

But sadly Nagoya district don’t have big influence in Japan, Taiwan ramen noodle become famous only in Nagoya and it become Nagoya’s local product.

Even now, lots of Japanese people think Taiwan ramen noodle is Taiwan’s product.

But Taiwan ramen noodle is Nagoya’s local product that is completely different to ramen noodle in Taiwan.

But these things are not big matter. It never is important thing.

How is this instant noodle?

On the top of package, small package is attached. This is seasoning oil. Basically seasoning package is inside. I don’t know why this instant noodle put it outside.
Package says we must put it after cooking.

And package says this dried noodle is not using oil (Non fly method). Maybe it is little bit healthy.

Contents of this instant noodle.

After opening package, you can see noodle with ingredients.

Freed dried meat, Chinese chive and chili pepper.

This red chili pepper gives me the spicy impression.

How is taste of this instant noodle?

This is original Taiwan ramen noodle by Misen.
This is original Taiwan ramen noodle by Misen.

When I poured hot water, it become red immediately.

But it is certainly spicy but not so too spicier.

And meat and Chinese chive is light but not so different to package picture.

And this spicy taste is mixed with miso. So it is very dense and mild spicy taste.

After several minuits, my forehead start to sweat.

This soup will go with rice ball.

Tell the truth, I have never eaten real Taiwan ramen noodle. It is difficult to find out ramen shop that have Taiwan ramen noodle in Tokyo.

Next time I go to Nagoya, I want to eat real Taiwan ramen noodle.

But the most important thing is taste.

Soup is very mild seafood soup. not so bad, and noodle texture is springy.

Instant noodle Myojo

Myojo “Wagayanoteiban, Seafood noodle” is shameless basic item & garbage car design.

What is outstanding point of this instant noodle?

20130708_0028If you find out this instant noodle at the store shelf, you will think that blue color package is very outstanding.

Largely lots of instant noodle package use warm color like Res, Yellow, and Brown. Such color give good imagination to Japanese noodle eater. Because noodle eats people seek hotter, more oily, more fatty and more salty taste. Such image fit to warm color.

In contrast, blue color reminds us non-oily, fatless, and refresh and healthy feeling, in addition that this fresh image package design remind of Tokyo garbage car.

garbage car in Tokyo
Please compare it to this instant noodle package, lady and gently man. What do you think?

Yes, 95% Tokyo resident remind garbage car from this instant noodle package.

But instant noodle is maybe junk but it is not garbage until eating up.

But I must say here that import thing is not package design but taste in food.

About concept of this instant noodle

This product name is “Wagayanoteiban Seafood noodle”.

What is “Wagayanoteiban”? “Wagaya” means my house, “no” means conjunction, “Teiban” means basic item.

Hey, MYOJO FOODS COMPANY, LIMITED! Who decide my basic item in my house? So sorry but I think me is the person who decide my basic item in my house.

But this instant noodle declares that it’s my basic item without my consent.

What a shameless noodle it is.

But it’s a very childish to say such thing to instant noodle of a couple dollars. It’s just an instant noodle.

Important point is this is seafood noodle.

And there is cooked picture on the top package.

There is no explanation about contents of this instant noodle except its seafood.

We must judge this instant noodle only from package picture.

Fortunately I have lots of knowledge and experience in instant noodle eating; I can easily understand this picture. Now I explain it for you.

Maybe it contain

Seafood > octopus, crab
Not seafood >cabbage, egg

I must say this noodle is very lonely as a seafood noodle.

But I bought it because it’s cheap.

Composition of this instant noodle

After I bought is, I open this instant noodle to eat. First impression is ”fill is gorgeous”.

So I pick up all fills to search.

Seafood > octopus, crab.
Not seafood >cabage, egg + green onion

Interestingly it is also contain green onion. It’s a very important nutrient factor for instant noodle eaters.

Eating impression

I poured hot water and wait 3 minutes patiently.

And open cover again, and I surprised that it’s almost same with package picture.

Lots of instant noodle is exaggerating package pictures. But this noodle is not so exaggerate.

Noodle is very wavy. And soup is not so oily and soup is excellent.

It has certainly seafood taste soup.

Lots of instant noodle is too oily and that oil makes it tasty. But in case of this seafood noodle, it’s tasty without relying oily.

This will be my basic item in my house.

Wantan is Chinese cuisines. and an is container of An, an is minced pork.

About wantan

Wontons are made by spreading a square wrapper (a dough skin made of flour, egg, water, and salt)[1][2] flat in the palm of one’s hand, placing a small amount of filling in the center, and sealing the wonton into the desired shape by compressing the wrapper’s edges together with the fingers. Adhesion may be improved by moistening the wrapper’s inner edges, typically by dipping a fingertip into water and running it across the dry dough to dissolve the extra flour. As part of the sealing process, air is pressed out of the interior to avoid rupturing the wonton from internal pressure when cooked.

The most common filling is ground pork with a small amount of flour added as a binder. The mixture is seasoned with salt, spices, and often garlic or finely chopped green onion. Factory-made, frozen varieties are sold in supermarkets. Commonly, they are handmade at the point of sale in markets or small restaurants by the proprietor while awaiting customers. In markets, they are sold by the unit, without being pre-cooked.
