Review: Nissin Cup Noodles Malatang
I found this Nissin Cup Noodles Malatang flavor a few months back when I placed a big noodle order from Japan. I'm always intrigued when Nissin tries something wildly new with their limited-time Cup Noodle flavors instead of just adding a new seasoning oil to an existing flavor and calling it a day. This Malatang

Review: Yamadai Sugomen Green Onion Miso Ramen
This Yamadai Sugomen Green Onion Miso Ramen is the last review in the series of products picked up for me in Guam, and I saved it until the end because it's the largest and, frankly, most exciting one to me that my coworker brought back. This is a gigantic noodle bowl from Yamadai, one of
Review: Nissin Cup Noodle Spicy
I've found that a lot of Japanese products that promise spice don't always deliver on the spice, even though they taste good. Hopefully this Nissin Cup Noodle Spicy variety brings the heat and the flavor in equal amounts. This is the second-to-last item brought back for me from Guam at Don Don Donki, so we're
Review: Yamadai New Touch Original Kimchi Ramen
This Yamadai New Touch Original Kimchi Ramen is the fifth product from my Guam review pile, and is certainly one of the more interesting ones. This is, I think, a first for me: a Japanese manufacturer making a Korean kimchi stew instant noodle. And not just any Japanese manufacturer... Yamadai is one of the premier
Review: Nissin Jonetz Shrimp and Salt Flavour Ramen Bowl
This Nissin Jonetz Shrimp and Salt Flavour Ramen Bowl is the fourth item from Guam in my review pile, and like the Acecook product that preceded it, it is another Don Don Donki store-exclusive product under the Jonetz brand (check out the previous review for a little info on the Jonetz branding). Now on its
