Yokohama Kakei Tonkotsu Shoyu “Nissin”

This website evaluates and scores many cup noodles.

The appearance of Yokohama Kakei Tonkotsu Shoyu “Nissin”

Yokohama Kakei Tonkotsu Shoyu has a distinctive design with large red letters.

I feel that the ingredients are lonely without seaweed. Three large pieces of seaweed are used. The flavor of seaweed is familiar to Japanese people, but can foreigners accept it?

When I made it, I didn’t have the unique strong smell of tonkotsu. Noodles are thick noodles that are a little flat like kishimen. The cross-sectional shape of the noodles is not a circle or a square, but a shape close to a rectangle. Did you imagine the cross-sectional shape of the noodles?

Let’s evaluate it.
