Here’s one that came in a Zenpop.jp box. Here’s what they had to say about it – ‘We’re entering the celebration season and for Gekimen Wonton noodles, it’s not just new years that’s cause for celebration! It’s the 45th anniversary of this product, so Toyo Suisan is releasing a special version which you are looking at in your box! This special wontonmen is topped with red and white mochi to create a feeling of festivity, as both the colors and mochi represent just this. And we haven’t even mentioned the taste yet! Gekimen is all about young people living passionately, and this bowl embodies this with a hearty stock and honest crunchy and flavorful toppings like green onion, bamboo shoots and Naruto.’

Loose bits from the bowl.
Here’s the mochi.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added mung bean sprout, scallion, egg, sesame seed, and shichimi. Noodle was so-so – a little spongy. Broth had a kind of off-putting flavor to be honest. The mochi? Underdone. Fully immersed in boiling water for 3 minutes, it was funky. Just don’t really care for this one at all. 1.0 out of 5.0 stars. JAN bar code 4901990376273.
