Noodle Journey Episode 43: Nissin Cup Noodles Pumpkin Spice Flavor

Notes since filming: 

Little did I know that this would be one of the least offensive of Nissin’s gimmick noodle flavors, considering some of the stuff they’ve released since. People got all worked up about this, but honestly it’s pretty good with some whipped cream.

Original video description:

This is by far the strangest instant noodle product I’ve ever seen, so of course I have to review it! Is Nissin’s Cup Noodles Pumpkin Spice flavor worth a purchase?

Find this one on eBay or at your local supermarket.

Scores:

  • Noodles: 5/10
  • Spiciness: 0/10
  • Overall: 4/10 (5/10 with whipped cream)

Noodle Journey Episode 40: Samyang Buldak Corn

Notes since filming: The only Buldak flavor I ever threw in the trash after a couple bites (2x lasted a little longer than that before I tapped out). It wasn’t quite bad enough to make my bottom 5 list, but I didn’t think this was very good. The noodles in here are great, but that powdered pack of corn flavor is a true love-it-or-hate-it addition. There are some people who really enjoy this one and will pair it with fresh elote and cilantro, but I’m content never to eat this one again.

Original video description:

Of all the Samyang Buldak products, I don’t think any one has generated such extreme reactions as this one: Corn Flavor. I love the Buldak product line so far, but how will this review go?

Noodle Journey Episode 39: Nissin Raoh Soy Sauce (US Version)

Original video description:

Here’s the review of the last of the Nissin Raoh flavors I currently have in my possession: Soy Sauce flavor. I’ll also be comparing this to the Maruchan Gold Soy Sauce flavor, which is currently my top pick for a premium soy sauce ramen.

Noodle Journey Episode 38: Nissin Raoh Miso Flavor (US Version)

Notes since filming: Unfortunately, it appears that Nissin stopped exporting this variety to the USA, which is a damn shame because it was probably the best miso soup ever to be sold in American supermarkets. Fortunately, the Japanese version of this flavor is still being manufactured and isn’t terribly hard to find online for shipping.

Original video description:

Since I seem to be the only person on the Internet who was underwhelmed by Nissin Raoh Tonkotsu, I thought it was high time to revisit the Nissin Raoh product line and give their Miso Flavor a shot. Bonus comparison between this one and the stellar Maruchan Gold Spicy Miso flavor.
