Sapporo Ichiban Tonkotsu Ramen Bowl Review – Noodle Journey Episode 88
Sapporo Ichiban has become a bit of a sleeper favorite for me, and after really enjoying that miso bowl in the previous review, I wanted to check out Sapporo Ichiban Tonkotsu Ramen, also in bowl form. While Sapporo Ichiban's lineup in the US is limited compared to what's available in Japan, what they do offer tends to be consistent, accessible, and pleasantly flavorful, which are qualities that earn them a permanent spot on my shelves (my daughter in particular is a big fan of their chicken ramen). Today's focus is on this pork bone broth variety that has a lot of competition in the instant noodle world. Given how many excellent tonkotsu options I've already reviewed, this one's got some stiff standards to live up to.
Sapporo Ichiban Miso Ramen Bowl Review – Noodle Journey Episode 87
This episode covers one of the most well-known instant miso ramen products on the market: Sapporo Ichiban Miso Ramen, in the bowl version. Thanks to a viral TikTok hack that combined this ramen with a raw egg, Kewpie mayo, and garlic, it skyrocketed in internet popularity. But beyond the hype, there’s some legitimate history here too; this was reportedly the very first instant miso ramen, dating back to the 1960s. It took Sanyo Foods three years to develop their proprietary six-miso blend for this flavor, and the end result is a savory, umami-rich bowl that clearly struck a chord with consumers.
Sapporo Ichiban Chow Mein Review – Noodle Journey Episode 67
I’m reviewing a viewer-recommended pack today: Sapporo Ichiban Chow Mein, which is a misnomer since this is actually yakisoba. You’ll spot “Chow Mein” on the packaging in English, but the Japanese text phonetically spells "Yakisoba," and the ingredients back that up (if in doubt, feel free to fire up Google Lens and aim it at the front of this pack). It includes Worcestershire-style seasoning (minus the anchovies), which is a hallmark of yakisoba, not chow mein. The terms get used interchangeably in American contexts, but this is squarely a Japanese-style stir-fry noodle.
Sapporo Ichiban Shio Ramen Bowl Review – Noodle Journey Episode 41
I’m revisiting the world of Sapporo Ichiban with this Sapporo Ichiban Shio Ramen bowl, the third member of their original flavor trio alongside shoyu and miso. Despite being the most basic of the three on paper, the ingredient list caught my attention. I reviewed the shoyu bowl before and really enjoyed it, so I was curious whether the shio version could hold its own.
Sapporo Ichiban Soy Sauce Flavor Ramen Bowl (US Version) Review – Noodle Journey Episode 20
This Sapporo Ichiban Soy Sauce Flavor Ramen Bowl is my first time reviewing a Sapporo Ichiban product, despite the brand being one of the most recommended and widely available ramen options in the US. These are made by a company called Sanyo. and this flagship soy sauce flavor dates back to 1966 and is often compared to the old “Oriental” (their word, not mine) flavor from Top Ramen or Maruchan, though I never really loved either of those, so hopefully this has more going on than those do. I’ve been aware of Sapporo Ichiban for a long time but never actually tried any of their products until now.
