Here’s an interesting one from Japan found in a Zenpop box – check out zenpop.jp and use the coupon code THERAMENRATER for a discount!
Here’s what they had to say ‘Kuze Fuku Shoten was established in 2013 and is one of Japan’s best gourmet stores. They’ve worked with Sanyo Shokuhin to create a unique vegetable dashi (野菜だし) ramen. They are a salt-based ramen (shio ramen, 塩らーめん), made from a special vegetable dashi recipe from Kuze Fuku Shoten. The cup has a unique umami and is very fragrant. The noodles are on the thinner side, which works well with such a light broth, and topped with cabbage, bean sprouts, kikurage mushrooms and carrots and a 30% increase in toppings from the previous version!’
I do like Shio quite a bit – in fact the background for The Ramen Rater logo (which has been the same since 2014) has a Sapporo Ichiban shio bowl as the background. Let’s give this one a try!

Loose bits and seasoning from the cup.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added shichimi, chashu, mung bean sprout, spring onion, soft egg, and sesame seed. Noodle was really quite good and unexpectedly so. The broth was a very savory shio – which was augmented with cabbage and other fine bits of vegetable. Really was a nice surprise. 5.0 out of 5.0 stars. JAN bar code 4901734048473.
