Tasty or awful? Only one way to find out.
Japan’s instant ramen industry is known for coming up with some pretty interesting twists on this classic late night snack. And now, the Osaka-based instant noodle maker Acecoik has concocted what may just be one of the “sweetest” takes on instant ramen yet.
Created in honor of the 30th anniversary of their popular Super Cup line of extra-large instant ramen, this peculiar Super Cup version is called “Vanila-flavored Creamy Seafood Instant Ramen.” A press release explains that it uses a pork and chicken base soup with shrimp and scallop flavoring and includes a packet of vanilla-flavored powder, which is added to the soup after it is hot and ready to eat. Once added to the soup, a press release says that “the sweet fragrance and taste of vanilla will fill your mouth.” The creamy vanilla noodle experience will also be complimented by some cabbage, eggs and crab-flavored kamaboko (fish cake).
The product is set to go on sale on July 30th for 210 yen (~$2.00 USD) and will be available at supermarkets and convenience stores across Japan. It seems pretty safe to say that if it’s a success, there’ll be a chocolate-flavored instant ramen out by February, just in time for Valentine’s Day.
