The third and final iteration of the Marutai varieties found at the Bellevue, WA Uwajimaya supermarket. My daughter Mimi picked a couple varieties at 99 Ranch Market that day and one was a tonkotsu. She tried the Kumamoto Marutai and liked it, so she’s going to get to try this one too.
Marutai Kagoshima Tonkotsu Style Noodles & Original Flavored
A distributor/import sticker (click to enlarge).
Detail of the packaging (click to enlarge). Looks to be meat free but check for yourself. To prepare, boil noodle in 480ml water for 3 minutes. Add in sachet contents. Finally, stir and enjoy!
Two servings of noodle.
Two dry powder base sachets.
Two liquid base sachets.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added chashu, egg, narutomaki, shichimi, and sesame seed. Oh and spring onion as well as mung bean sprouts. Noodle is spectacular – fits the broth well. The only thing about the broth is that there are little globby bits; that was odd. All in all though, a very tasty tonkotsu. 4.5 out of 5.0 stars. JAN bar code 4902702003197.
