These are really interesting to me; A-Sha basically invented a new noodle shape! These A-Sha Meteor Noodles with Danzai Sauce are described as "3D" noodles and go on to say "Meteor Noodles are made using a special, dual blade to cut 3D ridges onto the noodle to allow for perfect sauce coating on every noodle strand for a maximum flavor experience in every bite." If you read my review on the A-Sha BT21 Galaxy Variety Noodle Box, you should know that these Meteor noodles appear to be the same as the "Universtar noodles" that came in that box. I'm super excited to give these a try with this sauce, so read on to learn more about the noodles and Danzai Sauce flavor.

It's honestly been a little while since I had Korean rice cakes, and even longer since I reviewed one, and so when I spotted Dongwon Spicy and Sweet Topokki at my local Wamart (of all places), I figured I'd give them a try. There's also a Cheese version of this that I'll be reviewing soon, if not in the next post. Sometimes written as tteokbokki, topokki are the tube-shaped rice cakes you'll see in the images below, and they can be served in a variety of different sauces, although I think this "spicy and sweet" sauce is the most typical presentation. Why am I reviewing rice cakes on a noodle website? Because this is a very noodle-adjacent product, found right next to the instant noodles in any Asian grocery store (or in this case, the noodle aisle at Walmart).

Maruchan Mennosuke Tategata Kamodashi Soba is a neat flavor that I got out of the final ZenPop box last year. Buckwheat soba noodles with a duck and bonito broth! That's not something you really see in the USA at all. Will it be gamey like duck? Smoky and fishy like bonito? Read on to see
