Noodle Journey Episode 178: A-Sha x Hot Ones Ramen Noodle Bowls Mega-Review

Notes after filming:

I cannot stress to you how the slow burn of the Fiery Hot Tonkotsu crept up on me after filming. It got hotter and hotter the further I got into the noodles, inching ever so close to the level of the Daebak Ghost Pepper noodles I reviewed back in Episode 145. Do not make the same mistake I made; if you’re going to add the chili packet, do it in small amounts very carefully.

Original video description:

Attention spice heads and Hot Ones fans! A-Sha Dry Noodle has partnered with Hot Ones to bring you three ramen noodle bowls exclusive to Target stores and A-Sha’s website (as well as three ramen cups exclusive to Walmart that I’ll review another time). These are pricy, but are they any good? Dive into this mega-review with me and learn which of these you should buy and which you should avoid!
