The world is booming during Golden Week, but my notebook is a stable "white" color. Rather, I would like to enjoy the joy of eating cup ramen on the veranda on such a pleasant day.

By the way, when it comes to cup ramen, did you know that the packaging of the familiar Nissin Foods "Cup Noodle" series has changed recently? It seems that it was renewed in late April, and some supermarkets have a mixture of old and new. I was worried about the large letters "Full of ingredients" written on the top of the new product, so I decided to verify it to kill time.


We prepared two products, "Cup Noodle" and "Cup Noodle Seafood Noodle". The old and new can be distinguished by the design of the top surface.


◆ Rejoice, I like shrimp! Cup noodles are fulfilling at a glance

First, open the cup noodles. At a glance, you can feel the "squeaky feeling" of the new product.


When I took out the ingredients other than "green onion", the size and number of "seasoned shrimp" increased overwhelmingly.


In addition to the cube-shaped "seasoned pork (koro char)", we found "seasoned minced pork" as a new product! This ingredient was known as "mysterious meat" on the net because of its indescribable taste, which makes it look like it is biting a whole consomme, but it suddenly disappeared from the cup noodles six years ago. .. I'm one of the fans who was hoping to sell about 1kg of mysterious meat. It is also included in the company's "Cup Noodle Curry", but the curry taste is superior, so it is best to taste it in the salty sauce taste. Thank you, Mr. Nissin ...! (Although you can see those tools in the old products, I will leave this as a real mystery).


On the other hand, I feel that the size of Coro Char has become smaller, so it is difficult to judge whether the meat is totally fulfilling. However, the overall satisfaction after eating was raised by the response of the shrimp and the joy of reuniting with the mysterious meat.


◆ "Seafood" has ingredients that disappear secretly ...

Then opened "Seafood Noodle". Personally, I eat more often, so I have high expectations.


When you open the lid, it doesn't seem to make a big difference.


When I took out the ingredients other than green onions and cabbage, it seems that "seasoned eggs" and "fish paste products (crab-flavored kamaboko)" increased slightly. I was expecting to increase the amount of my favorite "squid", but I don't know the difference because it was originally included.


By the way, according to the Nissin Foods website, a new soft "squid body" has been added. I'm glad that the squid is also fulfilling.


I noticed something that was in the old product but not in the new product.


Sad news to fans, the adductor muscle seems to have disappeared from the new product. Even though it wasn't in that much originally, adductor muscles, I'll never forget the achievements that your texture and taste brought.

◆ If you think about it, it's already quite fulfilling

Although it is not shown in the image, I would like to add at the end that the amount of "leeks" was steadily increased in both of the two products verified this time.

When I tried it again, I noticed that the cup noodle series originally had a large amount of ingredients, and I enjoyed the process of searching for the amount left on the bottom of the soup. Among them, especially the fulfillment of cup noodles this time, I can feel the passionate corporate efforts. Will this amount become commonplace someday, and the day of further evolution will come?
