Here’s one sent to me by Ippin, a purveyor of lots of different Japanese products. This is definitely a fancy variety from a set of Kanto region varieties based on popular ramen shops. Not a lot of boxes come across my desk so this should be interesting! Here’s what the Ippin website had to say about this variety:

Whoa that looks interesting!
Finished (click to enlarge). Added Salad Cosmo mung bean sprouts, hard boiled egg, shichimi togarashi and spring onion. The noodles were great – very good chew to them and seemed quite predisposed to being in this combo of noodle and broth. The broth has a nice kind of shoyu hit to it and a light fish taste it seems. It worked together quite well. Oiliness was on point. 4.5 out of 5.0 stars. JAN bar code 4972874209987.
