Today we have a Zenpop.JP variety – so what’s Zenpop? They’re a subscription service for all things Japanese! Definitely, check them out. By the way, use coupon code RAMENRATER to get $2 off! Here’s what they had to say about this one – ‘Yakisoba noodles seasoned with Aurora (French for sunrise) sauce. The pinkish sauce with the fancy name is basically a mixture of ketchup and mayonnaise, which are both favorite for the Japanese. It’s unique but addictive!’ Sounds interesting – let’s crack it open and have a look!

Finished (click to enlarge). Added Salad Cosmo mung bean sprouts, spring onion and white onion. The noodles were great – just what I expect from the Ippei-chan series. The flavor… Well, it’s definitely smacking of mayonnaise and ketchup, what we call here in the United States as fry sauce. Just doesn’t seem right. I could see it with yakitori perhaps, sure – but with noodles it just seems wrong to me somehow. I will give it this – it’s unique. Maybe I’m just too much of an adherent to the classic yakisoba. 2.75 out of 5.0 stars. JAN bar code 4902881436557.
