#2952: Sunaoshi Udon Dappe - Japan

Finished (click to enlarge). Added spring onion, Salad Cosmo mung bean sprouts, shrimp, narutomaki and shichimi togarashi. The udon is very soft with a light chew. Very standard gauge. The broth has more of a bonito sweet taste than yuzu although it is detectable. Bits of tofu in there. 3.75 out of 5.0 stars.  JAN bar code 4973288734737.

How do I put a soft-boiled egg in ramen

I am not even sure a soft-boiled egg exists. I have not seen a soft-boiled egg. I have seen a raw egg and a hard-boiled egg. How can a soft-boiled egg be consumed? How can a soft-boiled egg be true? How can a soft-boiled egg be sliced into a ramen? How can one slice what is soft in a brittle shell?

February's Umai Crate arrived. I can't wait to eat the noodles. All the flavors are things I don't hate so I got lucky!

#2975: San-Iku Miso Ramen - Japan

Finished (click to enlarge). Added spring onion, corn and soft boiled egg with a dash of nanami togarashi. The noodles hydrated nicely and were of good quality. The broth was definitely miso, but it was a little boring to be honest. I kind of wanted a little something more. Not bad, but room for improvement. 3.5 out of 5.0 stars.  JAN bar code 4974434902529.

#2953: Daikoku Hiyashi Tanuki Udon - Japan

Finished (click to enlarge). Added cucumber, hard boiled egg and grape tomato. The noodles hydrated pretty well however were rubbery. The flavor was good - a kind of sweet and sesame affair with a dash of head from the powder. 3.5 out of 5.0 stars.  JAN bar code 4904511003429.

#2753: Maruchan Tempura Udon - Japan

Finished (click to enlarge). Added kamaboko, Salad Cosmo mung bean sprouts and spring onion. The noodles are as most instant udon - broad and flat. They definitely weren't spongy - something I liked. The broth is a kind of sweet soy and fish flavor. The tempura was here and there. 3.5 out of 5.0 stars.  JAN bar code 4901990330961.
