Instant noodle Maruchan (Toyo suisan) Snack

Maruchan’s master piece, “Midori no Tanuki” is Soba noodle with tempura

In Japan, Maruchan’s representative work is not Ramen

In Japan, if we hear the name of Maruchan, all people remind of “Akai kitsune” and “Midori no Tanuki”.

red fox & green raccon

Because Maruchan’s TVCM have kept shouting “Maruchan Akai kitsune to Midori no Tanuki” until now by famous TV actor, Testuya Takeda who is not handsome.

Maruchan TVCM by Tetsuya Takeda

Akai Kistune means red fox. It’s Udon instant noodle.

Midori no Tanuki means green raccoon. It’s Soba sintant noodle.

 

These noodle is long sales products and also basic items for Japanese middle class hungry people.

 

What is Soba noodle?

Soba noodle is not Ramen noodle.

 Soba (そば or 蕎麦?) is the Japanese name for buckwheat. It is synonymous with a type of thin noodle made from buckwheat flour, and in Japan can refer to any thin noodle (unlike thick wheat noodles, known as upon).

If you don’t know about Japanese noodle culture, you cannot know the difference between ramen and soba. But it’s completely different concept.

I think one of the biggest differences is oil. Ramen use lots of oil to get taste. But soba don’t use it.

So health conscious people love to eat soba.

And this Soba instant noodle is with Tempura.

Tempura is best partner to Soba noodle.

It is very popular way to eat Soba with Temura.
Soba don’t use oil, but Tempura is fried with oil.
So Soba is healthy but if you put tempura into Soba, Soba become oily and not so healthy.

But Soba with Tempura is very delicious.

Almost all Japanese people eat Soba with tempura.
And this Soba instant noodle understands it.

If you see this tempura, you think it seem to be some snack.

Yes, we can say tempura is kind of snack.

But Tempura is even so tempura.

How is this Soba instant noodle?

And this instant noodle’s tempura is not like real tempura.

This instant noodle’s tempura makes effort to be real tempura taste.

I admit it. It’s good taste. This tempura contains shrimp, and bits of fried tempura batter with green laver.
This complicated food material creates good taste harmony.
Appearance is fan to see.

 What the point of this instant noodle?

Package says “smell is very rich and taste is high class. It use dried bonito shavings. If bonito stock is delicious, soup is also delicious.”

According to this catch phrase, they are in confident in this soup.

Yes, this soup is bit salty with soy source taste. After that, I can feel the bonito stock taste.

It’s really amazing because this instant noodle realize real Soba taste.

If you have no chance to go to real Soba shop, you can enjoy same taste experience with this instant noodle, Midori no Tanuki.

Only stupid buy this potato chip

Potato chip is famous for unhealthy foods. It use too much oil, and very salty.

But strangely it is delicious. So it’s big cause of obesity in USA or other country.

So I think Potato Chip Company should make effort to make potato chip healthy to improve our healthy life.

But this potato chip, Chicken ramen stick never do such effort.

They make effort to make unhealthy food more.

They make potato chips with instant noodle taste!

that instant noodle is “Chikin ramen”. that is Nissin’s products. but potato chip company, “Koikeya” make potato chips that taste chikin ramen taste.

this is original Chikin ramen instat noodle.

Instant noodle is also one of the unhealthy foods.

This instant noodle taste potato chips must be completely bad for health, but strangely it stimulates our appetite.

Maybe it’s a stupid who buys this potato chips and I am stupid.

misleading package design

If you don’t understand Japanese, you misunderstand that this is instant noodle because package show instant noodle picture.

But this is just a potato chip with instant noodle taste.

This instant noodle with potato chips picture makes me thirst very much.

Potato chips picture make me thirst, instant noodle picture make me thirst.  so this package picture make me thirst very much.

and this package also says that this potato chips is very crispy.

I want to say, I know i know.  we can know it by just seeing piture!

According to  the package explanation, it uses special bowl fry method. this is the reason this potato chips is very crispy.

How about texture of this potato chips!

This chips shape is flat square shape. Or I can say it is stick shape.

so  if your mouth is small, you can throw it into your moth easily.

It’s very good potato design.

And if you see it carefully, it’s really oily and salty.

Yes, you can know it’s oily and salty visually.

How about taste!

But  now I think. If you want to enjoy chikin ramen taste, you can eat instant noodle directly as a snack.

Chanpon, ramen noodle wiht full of vegitable. [Myojo Kodawari no ippin Chanpon]

Surprising instant noodle

When I know the price of this instant noodle, I am really surprised because it’s only JPY100 (one dollar). Package say, this instant noodle is carefully selected one, it use carefully selected foodstuff, and it use special soup using Japanese Hokkaidou scallop. in addition that, it is extra size.

If these explanation is true, this instant noodle should be ten times price or company staff starve to death.

What is Chanpon? what kind of ramen noodle?

Chanpon is one of the ramen noodle.  Chanpon, is a noodle dish that is a regional cuisine of Nagasaki, Japan. Characteristic of this noodle is that it is full of vegitable and seafood. it means that it is basically expensive more than standard ramen noodles.

In case of this instant noodle, [Myojo Kodawari no ippin Chanpon],

1. it is chanpon                                                                                           +JPY100
2, it use carefully selected foodstuff                                               +JPY500

4, it is extra size.                                                                                     +JPY100
——————————————————————————————
Total price should be JPY1,000-

selling price    > >   JPY100-   Amazing price!

What a incredible business effort! or maybe this instant noodle is joking customer.

Anyway no Japanese people think so seriously about one dollar food if they don’t write blog.

Anyway i bought it because this package picture seem to be healthy. Recently I keep eating oily instant noodle and chocolate and chips. and I start to think about health.

Content of [Myojo Kodawari no ippin Chanpon]

It contains 1, Dried noodle 2,  powder soup  3, freeze dried vegetable & seafoods.

when I see this freeze dried ingredient package, I am surprised at the quantity and vriety.

it has

1, Cabage
2, Octopus,
3.Corn
4, Carot
5, Fish meat
6cloud ear mushroom

I admit that it is really great cost performance.

How about taste of [Myojo Kodawari no ippin Chanpon]

After pouring hot water, I open the package. Freeze doried ingredients are soggy.

Basically lots of instant noodle package picture is far image from real cooked. but this instant noodle is not so bad unlike. don’t you? anyway it is only JPY100-. we should this price.

But the most important thing is taste.

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

little bit salty but it is not so oily.

I enjoy instant noodle eating time with this.

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.

Instant noodle NISSIN UCC

Nissin no Donbei Yaki udon is menu misrepresentation ! but delicious, easy cooking and cheap.

not faithful naming, just confusing

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.

Bourbon Chocolate snack Potato chips Potato snack Snack

Jagachoco is mixed with chocolate & potato chips, save time but confusing taste

Confusing taste snack

We, Japanese people normally don’t try to eat potato chip with chocolate because potato chips is salty and oppositely chocolate is sweet.

Not so many person can imagine these things are in mouth at the same time and still delicious.

Chocolate  tip cokkie is understandable. because chocolate and cookie is both sweet and we can imagine it must be delicious. Chips plus sour cream and onion flavor is understandable because both is salty. But potate chips with chocolate is ununderstandable.

so normal conservative big company never try to sell Chocolate potato chips.

So I was surprised when I see this snack. and I was confusing. And I thought it could not be delicious.

But I love chocolate, and I love potato chips too. I eat both often different opotunity. and internal voice said to me that if youeat “Jagachoco” , you can save time and money.

But I never think it give me good taste. but my internal voice said to me again.

Certainly dalty and sweet never good taste convination. but if both go into stomach, it’s same result.

So I reluctantly buy “Jagachoco”.

And I eat it.

Jagachoco’s Potato chips is delicious. Jagachoco’s chocolate is delicious.

But I still cannot say Jagachoco is delicious or not.

I am still confusing.

When you eat Jagachoco in future, please tell me your opinion.

Drink Japan Frito-Lay Snack

The most awful & bad taste snack in Japan, Pepsi coke taste corn snack

Why this is there ?

DSC09543

When I go to grocery store, I found Pepsi coke package in corn snack area. I confused for a while because Pepsi package can be seen only at drink area or we never see Pepsi package at corn snack area until now in Japanese grocery store.

DSC09533

Certainly there are lots of taste corn snack in Japan. Salt taste, Consomme taste, Tacos taste, Wasabi taste, Piza taste, BBQ taste etc… all these taste are understandable and rational.

Because we can easilly imagine that “potate + Consomme = good taste” or “Potate + BBQ = good taste” etc.

But I think these are not human who can think that “Potate + Pepsi = good taste”.

But  believe or not, Pepsi taste corn snack is sold in this grocery store. Even though I don’t want to accept this strange snack existence, this is there. at that time, I understand the christan people’s feeling  who found out crucifixion Jesus.

Why I bought it ?

I know this must be bad taste, awful food. But strangely I cannot stop concering it. This must be never good taste. This never be nutrious. This is very unhealthy. Please tell me, who buy such worthless snack by spending valuable my money.

But you know I bought it at last.

I cannot explain logically why I spend money to such stupid food.

 

The name of this snack is, “Shuwa Shuwa Cola aji” in Japanese. it means “schwa schwa coke taste”. Shuwa is echoic word. and it never be used with corn snack normally.

DSC09534

Package say when you throw it in your mouth, corn snack popping like schwa schwa. this is surprising snack.

Enjoy refreshing Pepsi coke sweet taste.

DSC09536

I open package. inside corn snack seem to be quite ordinaly normal corn snack.

DSC09538

Color and surface is also basic corn snack.

DSC09539

 

And I throw it in my mouth with courage even though this must be awful taste.

Tell the truth, I regret to buy and regret to put it in my mouth when I taste it.

it is exactly schwa schwa feeling same as drinking popsi coke, but it accompany with salty corn snack taste.

and as I imagined, this is really bad taste.

My advice.

When you eat this disgusting corn snack, I recommend you empty your stomack because schwa schwa happen not only in your mouth, but also in your stomack.

I love Pepsi coke, I like to eat corn snack, but I run away if I am force to eat Peopi coke taste snack in future.

Bad manners naming snack, Ramen Babaa is beer’s partner

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.

20130314_000003

This is back side of package. let’s go to see detail.

20130314_000014

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.

20130314_000013

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.
