#5028: Myojo Authentic Japanese Udon Chicken Flavor – United States
Chicken udon time! Myojo sent me two of each of these varieties I’ve been reviewing and I have been taking the udon out of the extras and my wife and been enjoying it a lot. She likes to make a cheese sauce and put slices of hot dog with it. True story! I must admit, that sounds pretty good… Anyways, let make some chicken udon!
#5027: Myojo Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen – United States
The second of two fresh ramen varieties from Myojo USA! This you’ll find in the refrigerated section. Looking forward to this – let’s give it a try!
#5025: Myojo Sapporo Miso Ramen – United States
This one sounds good – it’s a rainy day here so something miso should work well.
Myojo Sapporo Miso Ramen – United States
#5020: Myojo Authentic Japanese Udon Beef Flavor – United States
I reviewed the hot and spicy version recently. I’ve got some different garnish for this one. These are tricky to photograph and last time I went with the wrong bowl as far as I can tell. Gonna try something completely different. Let’s give it a go!
#5017: Myojo Authentic Japanese Udon Hot & Spicy Flavor – United States
I saw an Instagram post by Myojo USA and noticed a new bowl version of their popular udon range. So, I decided to send an email – and got a respose in a big way. Big thanks! They sent a ton of new product! Here’s the first.
#5014: Myojo Ippeichan Night Shop Addicting Salt Tare Yakisoba – Japan
Here’s a variety that I found in one of MiauMall’s Nakama Noodles subscription boxes! Inside, they have 8-10 different varieties from Japan! If you’d like to get one, don’t forget to use the coupon code THERAMENRATER for a discount! Let’s see what they had to say about this one – “Our next pick is inspired by the nighttime sakura festival food stalls. This yakisoba features a salt base sauce that is packed with flavor. From the onion flavor of the sauce to the sesame and garlic flavor of the mayo, this dish is perfect for any sakura night festival.”
Myojo USA Sends New Bowls & Refrigerated Varieties
I saw on Instagram that Myojo had rolled out some interesting bowls and asked for some samples. I didn’t realize the had new refrigerated premium varieties as well! Let’s open the box and check out all these new things to try! Thanks!
#4962: Myojo Charumera Miso Ramen – Japan
Here’s a variety that I found in one of MiauMall’s Nakama Noodles subscription boxes! Inside, they have 8-10 different varieties from Japan! If you’d like to get one, don’t forget to use the coupon code THERAMENRATER for a discount! Let’s see what they had to say about this one – “We’re staying in Hokkaido for one more entry with a tasty bowl of miso ramen in Sapporo. This miso ramen is full of umami with its nutty miso soup with a hint of savory scallop dashi. This ramen has a full body that will keep you warm even in Hokkaido’s cold winters!”
#4911: Myojo Charumera Cup Barikata Tonkotsu – Japan
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. 🍜’
#4899: Myojo Ippai Manzoku Shoyu Noodle – Japan
Here’s one that came in a subscription box – here’s what they had to say about it – ‘Satisfy your noodle cravings without breaking your stomach with Myojo Shokuhin’s “Ippai Manzoku Shoyu Noodle”! This one’s all about living a balanced life. Whether you’re a student, working, and looking for a quick, satisfying meal (満足, manzoku, satisfying), these noodles have got your back. And it’s not just any noodles; it’s the “Myojo Ippai Satisfaction Soy Sauce Flavored Noodles.” They’re designed to give you just the right amount of happiness without overdoing it. It’s all about enjoying a balanced life, one tasty slurp at a time. So make sure you’ve got your chopsticks in hand, because these noodles are ready to make your mealtime an “ippai” (full) experience. Delicious and oh-so-satisfying – what more could you ask for? 🍜’

The Ramen Rater’s Top Ten Instant Noodle Bowls Of All Time 2024 Edition
This is a list I come out with every year – what’s different this year is now there’s a new rule: only one product per company. Seems fair to me – and also a way for more things to be seen. I don’t think it’s a bad idea and honestly, I think insofar as this list goes, it won’t be very hard to pull off. Anyways, here we go with The Ramen Rater’s Top Ten Instant Noodle Bowls Of All Time 2024 Edition!
Myojo Sends New Udon & Fresh Ramen Samples
I’ve been a fan of Myojo USA’s varieties for awhile now and when I saw some new varieties on Instagram, I asked to try and they were kind enough to send them along. I’ve tried them all and attached photos of the finished bowls to the video – full reviews will be coming soon! Big thanks to Myojo USA for sending them over!

The Ramen Rater’s Top Ten Instant Noodles Of All Time 2024 Edition
Every year I pick my favorites out of all the reviews I’ve done. In the past, I’ve had lists that have multiple companies with multiple entries. I decided this year that I would change that. Starting with this list, only one entry per company will be on the list. I’ll mention other noteworthy varieties in the text of each one which I think will give more opportunities for folks to try new things. This new way of doing things will be reflected in this list, the upcoming Bottom Ten, Top Ten Bowls, and Top Ten Cups lists.

#4534: Myojo Kake Ramen Desse Shoyu – Japan
I’ve been playing with ChatGPT for the last couple of days and have found it absolutely fascinating. I don’t know where I got this bowl, likely from a subscription box. It definitely looks like a shoyu. I wonder what it is…
The Ramen Rater’s Global Top Ten Instant Noodle Bowls 2023 Edition
Been lagging on doing top ten list editing – my apologies. The weather’s been really good for walking, and in May I did over 500 miles. I included a special post at the bottom about it. I also included something of a change from how I’ve been doing things as well involving AI. Anyways, this is the annual The Ramen Rater’s Global Top Ten Instant Noodle Bowls – these are my favorite varieties out of review up to #4440 which are in the bowl style. Hope you enjoy!

The Ramen Rater’s Top Ten Japanese Instant Noodles Of All time 2023 Edition
I get asked to do different top ten lists often – ones for people with dietetic restrictions, one for specific types of noodles, etc. The return of the Japan list should satisfy those who have wanted it to return. The problem with the Japan list is that Japanese varieties often come and go very quickly like the seasons; they are to be enjoyed and then remembered. Hopefully you’ll be able to find most of these, but if not it is because of this reason. This list is comprised of my ten favorite varieties from Japan out of my reviews up to number 4,400. If you’re in Japan and have varieties you think I should try or are a manufacturer there, please contact me. With that, here is The Ramen Rater’s Top Ten Japanese Instant Noodles Of All Time 2023 Edition.

#4450: Myojo Hiyashi Chuka Mazesoba – United states
Here’s a neat cold variety from the United States! Summer months are great for cold noodles as they are more refreshing. My friend Taku-san from Myojo was kind enough to share some new refrigerated varieties recently and here’s one – arigato! This is going to be a little different though – it’s not summer when I’m making this – it’s late fall and there’s frost every morning. I got a recipe for Hiyashi Chuka Mazesoba from Myojo – a twist which will end up as a hot noodle dish! Shall we give it a try?
#4449: Myojo Ippei-Chan Yakisoba – United States
I can’t tell you how stoked I am about these! I’ve been a huge fan of Myojo Ippei-Chan in the tray – the ones you make by steeping. This is something different – these are refrigerated section yakisoba! They’re made in the United States! I am really looking forward to this – got the chashu ready! Let’s make it so!

#4351: Myojo Ippeichan Yomise No Yakisoba Mentaiko Flavor – Japan
Well this sounds good. I always am surprised at all the Myojo Ippeichan out there and that there are still varieties I’ve yet to try. Mentaiko is cod roe. Yep – fish eggs. While some might find that strange, fish eggs are all over in Japanese foods. A lot of savoriness! I think I found this one at Asian Family Market a couple weeks ago. Let’s make some yakisoba!
