#756: Daikoku Bikkuchigekara Ramen (Big Chige Ramen)

Here’s one from Uwajimaya. Not sure about much of anything with this one so it’s kind of a crap shoot. Sure hope it’s good – this is breakfast.

Interesting – this has kimchi in it.

Here’s the side panels – not sure what they have to say.

The noodle block – very round.

This is one fat packet of seasoning.

Veggies and seasoning in one.

Finished. Added two fried eggs, a little beef lunch meat, some snap peas, green bell pepper, broccoli, jalapeno, some Texas Pete hot sauce, Ajishima Kimchi Furikake and a dash of Krazy Mixed Up Salt. The noodles are really quite good for a cup – they’re nice in color and texture and are in abundance. The broth has a spiciness to it and was almost slightly acidic or had a kind of citrus punch to it – was interesting. The veggies were great – they got pretty good sized and were semi-prevalent. I liked this one, although I would’ve liked maybe a tad less seaweed. 3.75 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 4904511004174 .

#662: Daikoku Shokuh Kitsune Udon

Here’s another Japanese bowl I got at Uwajimaya. The one yesterday was so good, I thought a kitsune udon bowl would be nice today.

Here’s the little sticker on the bottom of the bowl.

One single seasoning packet – pretty common with the Japanese bowls I’ve tried as of late.

Here’s everything awaiting the water. Fried tofu!!!

Finished. I added a fried egg with a dash or two of pepper, some kizami shoga (pickled ginger), some Ajishima Kimchi Furikake, some fried shallot and a little bok choy and sushinori (seaweed). The noodle were broad and full of flavor from the broth. Not very chewy but not soggy or spongy. The broth is sweet and salty and quite enjoyable. The udon is nice and sweet as well and delicious. Everything is quite nice here. 4.25 out of 5.0 stars. UPc barcode 4904511604046 .

Here’s a Cooking With Dog where they make Omurice. Omurice is well known amnong ramen junkies as it appears notably in the film Tampopo.

Here’s the scene from Tampopo.
