Nissin Demae Ramen Variety Pack (Tonkotsu Series) (Pack of 16 with 4 Each Flavor)

The best cheaper style of ramen I've had so far. Very simple to make and tasty when you are time constrained.

Arrived well packaged. None of the ramen packs were expired. All are great flavors. I would say my favorite is the miso ( orange pack )

I like ramen. Perhaps, it is nostalgia for my college days when time and money were short. Whatever it is, I like these ramen. These are the best that I have purchased. Now I can search for some good Chinese sausage.

Black Garlic Oil and Tonkotsu were just delicious - mild and rich tonkotsu broth is amazing! I disliked Soy Sauce flavor - soy sauce flavor was too strong, killing "umami" of tonkotsu broth.

When you get an assortment like this, you're unlikely to find all varieties to be great, but if one is, mission accomplished. The black garlic oil was as others have reported underwhelming, but OK, it did add a bit to the total flavor. Looking on the web for reviews of the exact same UPC barcode (4-897878-830015), it's clear why: Nissin is cheaping out by shipping a *much* smaller packet of the oil than they used to, the contents previously had around the volume in the liquid/paste flavor packets in the Miso and Shoyu varieties. Miso (-830018) is much better than OK, but I'm going to stick with my old favorite made in the US instead of Hong Kong Sapporo Ichiban. Shoyu/soy sauce (-800056) was different than I'm used to, and good, I probably will get it again for variety (for "real" shouyo I'm sticking with the superb, somewhat premium and much lower fat Myojo Chukazanmai).Then we hit it out of the ballpark with the just plain "Tonkotsu Artificial Pork Flavor" (-800025), which adds sesame oil, seeds, and something else, maybe some garlic as another reviewer thought? While the noodle quality is of course not as good the premium and ultra low fat in Nissin RAOH Umami Tonkotsu, the flavor is noticeably better, and while it has plenty of umani savory taste (1 of the 5 basic tastes along with salt, sweet, sour and bitter), it doesn't overwhelm you with it like the RAOH types I've tried, that and umami soy sauce.

I love it, it's super high in sodium so I use like a third of the flavor packets and still taste great. I add a ton of cabbage at the end so it stays crisp and sauteed mushrooms. Super yummy.

They were professional and the product was delicious.

Good sample pack, but I didn't care for the flavors.Green one was mild in flavor, comes with a soy garlic sesame oil packet, probably the best one of the bunch.Orange one came with a chili packet, slighty spicy. But if you want real spicy, try Korean ramen, Nongshim makes Neoguri.Purple one has a soy sauce based seasoning packet, quite boring tasting. Sapporo Ichiban makes better shoyu ramen.Black one - the most fancy one with a black garlic oil was also disappointing, it is missing soy and garlic flavor from the green ramen.
