Here’s another one from Box From Japan! Thanks, Javier! I also want to thank Shinichi S. for helping with the translation! Shoyu translates to English as ‘soy sauce.’ Shoyu ramen is one of the classics from Japan – been around forever. Let’s see what makes this particular bowl variety tick!

The noodle block.

The powder soup base.

Smells like shoyu!

A liquid sachet.

A nice bit of seasoned oil.

The solid ingredients sachet.

Spring onion as well as narutomaki and shrimp.

Finished (click image to enlarge). Added shrimp, mung bean sprouts and a little bit of ito tougarasi on top. The noodles are thin and have a very nice chewiness to them. They almost asked to be slurped up! The broth has a nice soy sauce flavor – not too strong, not too light. It also has a nice oiliness as well, and the supplied vegetable and seafood hydrated very well. 4.25 out of 5.0 stars. JAN bar code 4902702004033.
