This Myojo Charumera Cup Barikata Tonkotsu Ramen is a variety that came out of last year’s final ZenPop Ramen subscription box, and it’s something I’ve been keen to try for a while. The bagged version of this product used to pop up over on Yami every once in a while and I always missed grabbing it when it was in stock. Now, I’m excited that I finally get to try it, albeit in cup form rather than pack form.

I’ve been wanting to try this variety ever since I first reviewed Myojo Ippei-Chan Yakisoba with Mustard Mayonnaise a while back. That one still holds firm as my favorite yakisoba product to date, and Myojo is a pretty solid brand as long as we ignore their occasional major atrocity. However, I am a garlic fanatic, and this product promises a lot of garlic flavor. Could this Myojo Ippei-Chan Yakisoba with Garlic Mayonnaise unseat Myojo’s Mustard Mayonnaise Yakisoba from my top spot? Let’s find out!

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.

Today I’m diving into my second-ever yakisoba review with Myojo’s Ippei-chan Yakisoba. Myojo has a strong reputation for quality, and this one comes with something special: a mustard mayonnaise packet for garnish. It’s also my second time reviewing a Myojo product after their excellent refrigerated Shio Tonkotsu. This variety has a lot to live up to, especially given that there’s also a refrigerated fresh noodle version out there, which I can only imagine is even better.

Everything prior has been shelf-stable, but this one, Myojo’s Shio Tonkotsu Ramen, comes straight from the chilled section of my local H Mart. With two servings per pack and a price of $5.99, it’s a $3 bowl of fresh ramen, which is remarkably affordable compared to premium instant varieties like Ichiran. This is a Japanese product from Myojo, a brand known among noodle enthusiasts and often praised on Reddit for its quality.
