Today I've got something new and seemingly pretty unique from Ramen Bae: Ramen Hot Sauce. This is a very specifically marketed product and I've just never quite seen anything like it before. Ramen Bae is normally known for their dried toppings that you cook with your noodles, but this is something completely different. It's a jarred hot sauce whose flavor profiles are supposed to be complimentary to instant ramen. And yeah, we've already got things like chili crisp that can handle that, but Ramen Bae is calling this a hot sauce, not a chili crisp or chili oil, even though the description lists chili, garlic, and oil. From what I can see of the consistency in this jar, it makes me think that calling this a "hot sauce" is a marketing tactic. This does kind of look like chili crisp, so once I open this up we're going to find out if that's really the case together.
Myojo Ippei-Chan Yakisoba Strawberry Shortcake Flavor Review | Noodle Journey Episode 195
Today's review is of a product that probably shouldn't exist, but here we are anyway. This is Myojo Ippei-Chan Yakisoba Strawberry Shortcake Flavor, and no, I'm not kidding and this isn't a joke. You could say this is clickbait or even rage bait, but even if I wasn't doing my channel or this website, I would still really, really want to know what this tastes like.
Ramen Toppers Black Garlic Chicken for Noodles Review | Noodle Journey Supplemental Episode
I don't use the term "game changer" lightly, but what I have here for review today might just be that: Ramen Toppers Black Garlic Chicken for Noodles. If you haven't seen Ramen Toppers before, this is an American-made dried Ramen topping brand, and their revamped Pork and Fish Cake mix is legitimately one of my favorite products. It's something I use frequently when I make Japanese instant ramen. When I saw that this new Black Garlic Chicken mix had started to pop up on Amazon recently, I got in touch with my contact over there and asked if I could have a canister to review, and so they obliged, and I am beyond excited to try this.

The Big List of Buldak
Samyang Buldak is such a popular brand that its fans try to seek out every single flavor that has ever existed to make sure they can try them all.

Samyang Samgyetang Ramen Soup Review | Noodle Journey Episode 192
Today I've got something super interesting from Samyang: Samgyetang Ramen Soup. This is super interesting to me because I love trying new things as you may well know and this product is Samyang's take on Samgyetang, which is a South Korean soup typically made with ginseng, garlic, and chicken. As I filmed this review, I was a little bit hoarse, so a hearty bowl of chicken soup sounded really good at the time.
