Here’s one that came in a Zenpop.jp box – use coupon code THERAMENRATER for a groovy discount!
Here’s what they had to say about it – “The Jewel of Toyama bay” may sound like a legendary treasure from a historical text, but it just so happens to be an ingredient in your bowl of ramen, right here in your box! The Jewel refers to the “Shiroebi” or white shrimp, which is an especially fragrant shrimp from Toyama bay. The soup stock base is made on chicken and pork, in order to create a rich backdrop to the aromatic roasted white shrimp taste that truly takes center stage. With crisp and chewy noodles, light chili and shrimp flake toppings, this bowl was a no-brainer for our box. This bowl is part of the “Special materials” series, which uses local delicacies from around Japan.”
I like fragrant shrimp. There, I said it. Let us begin.

The noodle block.
A large liquid base sachet.
A sachet of garnish.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added egg, mung bean sprouts, scallions, sesame seed, and egg. Noodle has a decent tooth to them. Broth is far too salty for my liking. It does have a sweetness from the shrimp which is interesting. 3.0 out of 5.0 stars. JAN bar code 4901677191205.
