This name, “Menshokunin” means that noodle draft man in English. it means that this noodle apeal point is noodle.
Package explanation says that it’s like a raw-type noodle. certainly some instant noodle use raw type noodle even though it’s instant noodle. but in case of this instant noodle, noodle is dried noodle.
basically it’s very very difficult to realize raw-type feeling just by pouring hot water.
But recently some Japanese instant noodle company invent special technique and we can enjoy raw-type feeling even though it’s just an instant noodle.
this noodle is also successful as raw-type instant noodle.
Interesting taste soup! beef salt taste?
and this instant noodle’s soup is beef salt taste soup in according to package explanation.
such taste is not so popular in Japan. it’s very challenging taste.
It sound oily but it’s not so oily taste.
and surprisingly ingredients are erabolated.
it contain beef meat and green onion and tiny templa ball and red pepper.
I think you should eat this instant noodle instead of going to ramen shop.

Package of Bourbon, Alfort chocolate say “Enjoy the superb taste of chocolate & biscuit made with the finest ingredients.”
this is chocolate on the small biscuit.
It is a representative snack of Japan.
I have never met the person who dislike this snack.
Mainly the reason is its delicious combination with chocolate and biscuit.
If this snack is only biscuit or only chocolate, it’s not so special.
But this unite of two different taste, biscuit and chocolate produce incredible taste experience with a just a one dollar.
Harmony of floury and dry biscuit and moist chocolate make you crazy. You definitely lose your control after one bite.
It’s really dangerous snack.
Appearance & Name
What is name of Bourbon, Alfort chocolate snack?
There is sailing ship picture on each piece. and package is blue. and compass picture is on the back.
and name is alfort.
There is no official announce about the name. but rumor say like this.
this snack concept is romance of exploration age. this is the reason sailing ship picture is on the snack, package color is sea blue, compass picture on the package.
and the name, “Alfort” mean port.
But nobody know which language is it.
Dose it mean really port? at least, google cannot designate which language it is.
They want to name it Port.
Port is gathering sailing ship around the world.
Something meet at the port.
In case of this snack, chocolate and biscuit meet.
so this is named alfort that means port.
but nobody know which language is it.
It’s very mysterious.
Maybe the marketing team of this rural countryside company made a mistake.
Yes, the company, Bourbon is located, Niigata, rural area.
they want to name it “Port”, but because of their poor english pronunciation and listening ability, they spell it not port but alfort.
You could say, “There’s no way that would happen.”
but you never know how poor Japanese people’s english is.
How can we mistake “Alfort” and “Port”?
You are right, but you never know how terrible Japanese english ability.
Anyway this unidentified name and impression of this snack is successful to give expensive foreign-made delicious snack image even though it’s only a 1 dollar or so and made by very countryside company..
Actually it is very very delicious.

Product name: UCC The Coffee Satou Zero (Non sugar)
UCC is name of this company, “Ueshima Coffee Co.,Ltd.” and product name is The coffee Satou Zero (non sugar coffee). it’s a very simple name. Nobody misunderstand to buy it while lots of company try to name complicated one to sell more.
and sub line say
– Quantity is x1.2
– It use Whipped Cream made at Hokkaido
– it don’t use artificial sweetener
so we imagine it will be sweet even though it don’t use sugar. and it is cost saving because quantity is x1.2.
How about tasste?
It’s amazing because it is little bit sweet even though it don’t use sugar. or I should say it is creamy coffee without sweet.
Some Japanese people love sweet cold coffee. but some Japanese love non sugar cold coffee. we believe these canned drink use too many sugars and it is not good for health.
But maybe lots of Japanese people want to drink sweet coffee, so this company make effort to add sweet without using sugar.
it amazing business effort.
Why I bought it?
But tell the truth, i dont care about it so much. I just want pull back car toy.
It is NISSAN Z car, 8 types.
S30, PS30, HS30, Z30, Z31 , Z32, Z33, Z34
this toy is very sophisticated model and surprisingly it run by pulling back.
This pull back toy seem to be expensive more than coffee.

Mercedes is one of the popular dreams for Japanese middle class people. If you want to sell coffee in Japan, I have a successful advice. You should present Mercedes to people who buy coffee.
But there is difficult problem in this idea. Mercedes is more expensive than coffee.
If you give up there, you cannot be Japanese business man who works in marketing section of coffee company. And you cannot buy Mercedes.
But Japanese marketing team give you Mercedes dream instead.
If you buy Mercedes in USA, you maybe can get coffee presents, because USA is material country, according to Madonna who makes effort to be sexy in spite of old lady.
But if you buy coffee in Japan, you can get small Mercedes as a small present. Yes, Japan is dream country. But that dream is very small.
It’s a really small Mercedes, but I think it still cost much more than coffee.
Their Mercedes presents is provocative like a coffee
Maybe Mercedes is already enough. But this Mercedes present lineup is still provocative. All Mercedes is convertible.
Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster
Mercedes-Benz E-class Cabriolet
Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster
Mercedes-Benz 230 SL
Mercedes-Benz 350 SL
Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Magalia
Convertible Mercedes is dream of dream. What a stimulate presents. Now I play into the hands of coffee company. Of course I buy lots of coffee. But exactly saying I bought small Mercedes at that time rather than coffee.
This is Japanese coffee culture.
How about taste and aroma of this canned coffee?
detail of coffee
This time, I bought two kind coffees. One is “Koku no black”, another is “Koku no Chou bitou”.
Koku no black means tasty coffee without sugar.
Koku no chou bitou means tasty coffee with super very little sweet.
Package explanation says that they study European coffee culture and make coffee with Japanese technique.
Koku no black, it use high class coffee beans. It uses special technique to immure the pheasant aroma.
Koku no chou bitou, it is sweet but don’t use sugar. It adds sweet taste to enjoy deep roast coffee.
What is taste?
Koku no black is tasty and certainly it’s aromatic. when I open it, bitter flavor come out.
Koku no chou bitou is subtle sweet. it gives tasty taste blended with strong bitter coffee taste.
Actually coffee itself is very enough quality, I think.
But they fully care Mercedes presents too.
Coffee culture in Japan goes strang

This name is “Nisshin no Donbei Yaki-udon”. Nisshin is brand name. “no” is “is”. “Donbei” is a fictitious character name. Yaki-udon is food name. it means flied udon.
Basically we eat udon by boiling. Boiled udo is basic cooking. Yaki udon is flied udon. Yaki means fly. Yaki-udon is unusual cooking. So it is difficult to find out yaki udon restaurant. But yaki-udon is loved by middle class people. So Nissin make Yaki-udon type instant noodle.
But tell the truth, this is yaki-udon is not yaki-udon. It means that flied udon is not cooked by flying.
This yaki-udon’s cooking procedure is this.
1, open the cover
2, pour hot water
3, wait for five minutes
4, drain hot water
5, put souce
6. eat it.
It means we just boil udon. So Nissin should not say “Yaki-udon”. They tell a lie.
It’s a menu misrepresentation ! it bluff the customers with false menu descriptions
But strangely no Japanese people complain about this except me. Maybe I am crazy or all Japanese are crazy.
Anyway it’s delicious and easy to cook
Even though is false menu description, I must admit it’s very delicious with easy simple step.
Amazingly vegetable is also in it. Yes, it is considered nutiritonal balance. This instat noodle give us good eating opportunity considering nutritional balance & .delicious taste with cheap price and easy cooking step.

wooster sauce and mayonaise are tangle with udon noodle. it give us incredible delicious harmony in our mouth.
Name of Jukudaki Hakata Tonkotsu means is Hakata style Deep boiled pork born soup. Jukudaki means deep boil. Tonkotsu means pork born. Hakata is name of place where is famous as Tonkotsu soup noodle.
And this instant noodle try to recreat real Hakata tonkotsu noodle by instant noodle. and this instant noodle is one of the most deliciouest instant noodle. Even Japanese professional noodle freak admit this taste, i think.
Great point is this.
noodle is recreated real original noodle
Soup is is recreated real original noodle
Seasoning and topping is full-blown.
all three points are perfect and still price is only 210 yen. It’s incredible cost performance.
About Noodle.
Real Hakata tonkotsu noodle is very thin noodle and straight type. this instant noodle is recreated perfectly. Looking, color and noodle firmness is almost same as original Hakata tonkotsu noodle.
This noodle enable it to tangle with tasty soup.
About Soup
Soup is the most important element in Ramen noodle. Hakata tonkotsu noodle’s soup is made by long time process and painful procedure. so it is very deep and comlicated taste. it is impossible to realize real taste of tonkotsu soup by instant noodle soup.
But this noodle try to close up it by mixing with two different material soup, powder soup and liquid soup. and it success to produce nearly real taste of Hakata tonkotsu soup.
Real Tonkotsu suop take several days to make it. but this instant noodle can make similar taste with just couple minutes. Amaizing.
About Seasoning and topping
This instant noodle seasonig is
Chaashuu (barbecued pork)
Negi
Sesame
Benishoga (pickled ginger)
These seasoning is not so strong influence to whole noodle, but it make us excited. and this instant noodle’s seasoning is enough quantity for that purpose.
This instant noodle is very good. but I still recommend to go to actual noodle restaurant to eat Tonkotsu noodle. But if you have no time to go and no opotunity and no money, this instant noodle become substitute.
this is about content and material of this instant noodle.
and it says it don’t contain synthetic colorant nor synthetic preservatives added.
this is allergia information.
this is cooking instruction.
if you cannot read Japanese language, you will get nervous.
but don’t worry, this is just a instant noodle. Pouring hot water and that’s all.
there are three seasoning inside like this.
this is liquid soup. it say we must add it after pouring hot water. and during dipping dried noodle by hot water, put it on the package and worm it up for best taste experience.
this is powder soup. it must also be added after pouring hot water.
This is seasonin and topping.
babecued pork and negi and sesame.
And this is noodle before pouring hot water.
I put seasoning and topping on this dried noodle
and I poured hot water. now I shut the top cover. and during waiting, I put liquid soup on it.
and after several minutes, I put powder soup and liquid soup in it and stir up.
let’s compare the package image picture and real one !
poor looking ? yes, it is.
THis is chashuu, babecued pork.
certainly it’s poor looking. I admit it. but soup is creamy and pork bone taste. taste is very good !

This is “Koala no march (Koaranomaachi)”. This is best sellers snack and very popular in Japan. because it’s very delicious. Chocolate is injected in this Koala shape biscuit.
This chocolate snack was made in imitate of “Pakkuncho” that is released previous year, and this “Pakkuncho” is made in imitate of “Hello Panda” that was released nine year ago.
This is Pakkuncho
Lotte company marketing strategy is Koala
But you will wonder what is this name ? I admit that Japanese eat whale sometime. But almost all Japanese never eat Koala.
Lotte that make this “Koala-no-march” had known that this type of chocolate & biscuit snack can be good sales. So their marketing team tried to sell their new similar product more than former similar type chocolate snacks.
at that time, Koala is popular topic in Japan because Australia send real Koala to Japan in the first time.
So they print Koala on their chocolate snack.
And it become best seller more than former similar products. Now days, if I start to sell similar type chocolate snack, considering it from marketing point of view, I print Britoney Spears on it. and I can success to sell it in Japan.
Don’t hesitate to contact me, anyone who are looking for genius marketing person.

Koala picture is very pretty but upper picture is cut in round slices. Brown collar liquid is not blood. it’s slimy chocolate.
This says that back side of this snack, there are small hall that is used to inject chocolate.

Comment
It’s delicious and koala print is pretty. I hesitate to bite off this Koala shape snack. and feel bit guilty. But really delicious. Haha.
I cannot say that name of this snack is elegance. Ramen babaa consist from two words, Ramen and Babaa. Ramen means noodle. it’s not bad manners. but Babaa is problem.
Babaa means old lady. But basically Babaa is used in middle class people. Babaa is never racist word nor politically-incorrect word. But I don’t recomend to use this word, especially you are friend of Japanese empelor family.
This snack have no relation to Babaa (old lady). I don’t know why they name it Babaa.
From marketing point of view, certainly this is not for elegant people but for middle calss. and Babaa word is familiar to middle class. So this naming is success to appeal middle class people.
I must say this illustration is not elegant. this say chiken taste.
This is back side of package. let’s go to see detail.
This is catch phrase of this product.
this say real noodle become this snack as it is. Delicious taste don’t stop to eat.
Please eat this as little snack or nibblies, you can eat it directly.
and this phrase is cautionary note, it say Never pour hot water directly in this package, because it is danger.
This snack is similar to instant noodle. so they are afraid people who try to eat it like instant noodle.
This is the snack. Delicious looking for you ?

this is very cheap. and it’s good to eat with beer. Try it because it’s cheap !
This isntant noodle is really long name. Name is this.
“Korezo wantan! Toiukurai An wo Tappuri tsutsunda wantan men”
Do you know why is this name is long ?
it want to emphasis it’s sales point.
This product’s name is shortly Wantan men (wantan noodle). this is enough.
But it want to say, there are lots of Wantan contain lots of an.
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.
quote from wiki pedia.
Do you understand wantan ? If you undestand wantan you understand that it is really surprising thing that we can eat Wantan just by pouring hot water. and this Wanta is succulent.
This is the reason it want to emphasis it contain lots of Wantan.

It’s quite incredible that we can eat wantan just by pouring hot water. taste is neally real wantan.
Tell the truth, this sweet snack name, “Suppaiman” is very not serious name.
Or I must say it is ignorant naming.
this name is made up of two words. one is Suppai and the other is Man.
Suppai means sour. Man means male human.
Yes, if Suppaiman is translated in English, that name is “Sour male human”.
If this company is serious, they stuck mummy in this package instead of dried plum.
How can you be serious with this name !
And I must tell you the truth now. Even though it say Suppai (Sour), this is sweet !
Yes. This snack name cheat customers.
This must be real Suppaiman according to the meaning of Suppaiman in Japanese. Please stop to cheat customer by stupid naming.
But I don’t care, because Suppaiman is very delicious !
Suppaiman is sweet dried plum
You can see scissors picture. this tell you where you cut.
If you can cut successfully, you can use jip again and again. it’s useful.
These are not mummy, but dried plum.
it looks very bad,but it taete extrordinally good !
It’s very delicious but be caureful ! it contain seed that is very hard. (right one is it.)
