Here’s what they have to say about this one – ‘Ramen restaurants are always trying to innovate their classic recipes. And every ramen chef is proud of his own unique creation, and the little hint of uniqueness he or she’s able to bring to this popular Japanese dish. Myojo too, decided to put its chefs to work and created the new HYBRIDX lineup of instant noodles. It’s a series that allows you to enjoy the taste of the popular ramen shop Noodle Voice (Tokyo) at home with a rich soup made by combining different and original ingredients, leaving you with an experience unlike you’ve ever had before. The non-fried noodles are a perfect match to the rich soup. It has an addictive scallop flavor that is combined with chicken stock, topped with aromatic vegetables, spices and a tasty char siu (チャーシュー). A jolly cup of instant noodles to start your winter feasting early!’
Since I roll my own chashu, you won’t see the one included except in the packet shot here. That being said, I’ll comment on how the included chashu tasted in the review. This should be an interesting few days of reviewing. Everyone at our house is sick. Not tested yet but it certainly looks like we have the COVID. Note this was done in early January 2022, so when this is posted it’ll be quite a bit of time after. Let’s give it a go!

Finished (click to enlarge). Added chashu, spring onion, sesame seed, shichimi, flower fu, and soft egg. The noodles are quite nicely hydrated. The have a sturdy chew and good quality – very good there. Broth is definitely a marriage of chicken and scallop and works well. I particularly likes the aroma of the hot broth as it filled my nose. The chashu was tasty, but as always there’s never enough. Included bits of onion were quite good – all around a nice premium bowl. 5.0 out of 5.0 stars. JAN bar code 4902881451918.
