Here’s an interesting one from Japan found in a Zenpop box – check out zenpop.jp and use the coupon code RAMENRATER for a discount!
Here’s what they had to say – ‘The twin cup of noodles from our Ramen & Sweets Mix Pack! This Pokémon-themed ramen from Sapporo Ichiban comes with a salt and seafood flavor. It’s a perfect match, and great catch! The smooth texture and the aroma and sharpness of the noodles go well with the mellow soup. It’s slightly creamy and has an easy-to-eat seafood flavor. The dish is colorful and comes with lots of cute Pikachu kamaboko (蒲鉾, かまぼこ),a type of cured surimi, and some corn! It’s a very simple dish designed to please the whole family, and all of you Pokémon fans! If you haven’t seen it already, you might want to check out our Mix pack too. You gotta catch’em all! (It comes with 1 out of 20 collectible stickers.)’
Sounds pretty good, however these licensed products tend to be a bit disappointing. But with an open mind, the water shall boil again!
