Noodle Journey: Top 10 Instant Noodles (2024)

Notes since filming:

I never deal in absolutes, which is why I won’t commit to saying any one noodle product is my number one of all time. I enjoy all of these for different reasons, and what awesome product I crave one day may not be what awesome product I crave another day. That’s why I filmed this list this way, and I will continue to do so with any future top lists.

Original video description:

Time for the channel’s first top 10 list! I’ve reviewed a lot of great products since the channel began. This list, in no particular order, highlights my 10 current favorites among the major noodle varieties, along with some honorable mentions for those of you with dietary preferences.

Noodle Journey Episode 138: Marutai Original Ramen

Notes since filming:

If this had been the first Marutai flavor I’d ever had, it would’ve been a higher overall score than a 7. While this is certainly no slouch in terms of flavor and quality, it’s overshadowed by its siblings.

Original video description:

This flavor was Marutai’s very first stick ramen product dating all the way back to 1959! Here we have a light broth flavored with soy, pork, chicken, and sesame oil. Is this one in the same league as all the other Marutai flavors I’ve reviewed? Watch to find out!

Noodle Journey Episode 136: Marutai Ikkosha Tonkotsu Ramen

Notes since filming:

As I write this, I haven’t found a better tasting instant tonkotsu than this one from Marutai. The only reason this one isn’t on my Top 10 list is price and availability.

Original video description:

The Marutai madness continues as I take a look at another restaurant collaboration: a tonkotsu variety supervised by the restaurant Ikkosha. This tonkotsu promises to be a concentrated pork experience, but does it deliver? Could this be the best instant tonkotsu product available? You should definitely check out this review.

Noodle Journey Episode 135: Marutai Seiyoken Tonkotsu Ramen

Original video description:

This is the first of three products I’ll be reviewing in which Marutai has collaborated with a famous Japanese restaurant. This one was supervised by Seiyoken in Kurume City, and it promises a light and rich tonkotsu experience. Is this worth the premium price tag? Watch the review to find out!

Noodle Journey Episode 134: Marutai Oita Chicken Paitan Ramen

Notes since filming:

I haven’t found any chicken ramen better than this one. If you like chicken soup, I urge you to do whatever it takes to buy this.

Original video description:

With this review, I’m kicking off another short Marutai marathon similar to last year’s. This is a newer product made for the 15th anniversary of their “Local Series” of ramen products, and it is a super creamy chicken broth from Oita. If you’re a fan of chicken ramen, you’re going to want to watch this review!
