Here’s what they had to say about this one – ‘Charumera (チャルメラ) was launched as a series in 1966, making it one of the longest running instant noodle series on the market. With a light butter aroma, this new edition of the ultimate classic Miso-flavored Charumera ramen is a lovely reinvention. The miso flavor, is light and gentle, but with the butter, it becomes rich and tasty. The company recommends adding the butter about halfway through, but we tested it, and the earlier you add the butter to change the flavor, the better it tastes! (Remember this) The soup is rich in umami, and the noodles are delicious and go well with the soup. To pair with the noodles and broth, Myojo added corn, cabbage, and carrots!’
Looks full of corn and fishcake. Let’s give it a try.
