Here’s one that came from the now defunct ramen arm of Zenpop. They sent a box as a parting thank you, unfortunately the box only had one variety I’d never reviewed and this was the only one. Let’s give it a try.
Maruchan Mendukuri Backfat Shoyu Ramen – Japan
Detail of the side panels (click to enlarge). Unsure if it contains meat, but probably has chicken and pork. To prepare, fill to line with boiling water and clear sachet contents. Cover for 5 minutes. Add in liquid base sachet. Finally, stir and enjoy!

The noodle block.
A sachet of liquid base.
A sachet of vegetables.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added chashu, mung bean sprout, sesame seed, crushed red pepper, scallion, and narutomaki. Noodle was very high quality and vice – full of good chew. Broth was rich and full with excellent shoyu flavor. Quite good. 5.0 out of 5.0 stars. JAN bar code 4901990375665.
