Here’s what they had to say about this variety – “Ryu Shanghai is one of Japan’s premier miso ramen shops.
They’ve been serving their spicy “Akayu” miso ramen in Nanyo City, Yamagata since 1958. In the soup, it’s hard to miss the big red ball. This is the spicy miso paste. It supercharges the soup, adding garlic and overall spiciness. There’s also dried seaweed (aosa). Both of these condiments come with this official instant ramen from Ryu Shanghai! Lastly, the thick, wavy noodles are a chewy delight.”
Crap, man – you sure do know how to pick ’em. First off, I’ve never seen nor heard of this one and second, it sounds amazing. Let’s give it a try!

The noodle block.
A huge sachet of soup base.
A large garnish sachet.
A smaller wet sachet.
A small sachet of seaweed.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added marinated egg, sesame seed, spring onion, and mung bean sprouts. This was a colossal bowl, worthy of song and tribute. The noodle is absolutely goregeous – perfect gauge and chew and hydrated to a T. The broth, when augmented with a little stir of that reddish blob in the middle, becomes nice and spicy and gives incalculable benefit to the base red miso broth. The little sachet f seaweed gives everything another layer of flavor. This is pretty epic stuff – the narutomaki and chashu were on point, and menma is ubiquitous. 5.0 out of 5.0 stars.
