Here’s one that came in a now defunct Zenpop.jp box – here’s what they had to say about it – ‘Pork, a wonderful ramen base with its never-ending richness. But wait, there’s more! Scallops! Fried garlic! Black pepper! Flavor enhancing oil! Yeah, this cup just keeps on giving. The name “Barikata” implies slimmer, harder noodles, a traditional touch unique to real tonkotsu ramen. This is why this cup should only have a 60-second wait in the water before eating. Thanks to the slimmer cylindrical shape you really get the aroma swelling towards you, elevating the experience. 🍜’
Elevating… Yes let’s try.

Loose bits from the cup.
A liquid base sachet.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added narutomaki, egg, spring onion, shichimi, sesame seed, and chashu. Noodle is thin with a nice tooth – a kind of Hokkaido flouriness to it. The broth is full of nice tonkotsu porkiness, and all in all a nice cup. 4.0 out of 5.0 stars. JAN bar code 4902881456197.
