Here’s what they had to say about this one – “This cup has been released frequently and repeatedly by Toyo Suisan. Why? Everyone loves it. Yakisoba (焼きそば) are not made from buckwheat like their homonym, but from wheat flour. These kuroi buta (黒い豚, black pork) come with a curry (カレー) flavor and are a treat! The noodles have a smooth texture and the sauce goes perfectly well with the dish. It has a lovely balance of sweetness and spice. Turmeric, cumin and basil were used to create the taste of the sauce. The final touch comes with a hint of soy sauce to adjust the flavor, and the dish is topped with seasoned pork and carrots. For many, these yakisoba have a retro and rustic feel, making them nostalgic. It’s delightful in the summer, but great any time of the year. Enjoy each of the noodles while you have some left!”
