Notes since filming:
Fun fact: This is one of the few times where I had to go back and reshoot almost the entire review. I still don’t know exactly what I did (maybe it was a defective liquid sachet?), but something got messed up when I cooked this variety and it came out bland and almost flavorless. I thought, based on the stellar experiences I had with the previous varieties, that something wasn’t quite right. Turns out I was right to second-guess myself, and on the second attempt this flavor turned out absolutely delicious.

Day 9 of our Marutai Marathon leading up to Christmas! Today’s review is a shoyu (soy sauce) broth from Hokkaido, but if you think this is just going to be just an ordinary soy broth, you don’t know Marutai!
