When it comes to Onomichi ramen noodles, it’s a soy sauce flavored noodle. Onomichi town is printed on the package, this is a port town in Hiroshima and is famous for lots of hills. It is a town full of an atmosphere of time that goes slowly. There’s also bridge approximately 60km in length that connects Onomichi city, Hiroshima and Imabari city, Ehime in Shikoku and is called Setouchi Shimanami Kaido and this is also popular for cyclists. For more details, please go to the official site. (Shimanami Kaido.)

The back of the package shows how to make it. It’s a type of instant noodle product where noodles and soup are prepared separately. To make the soup, you need 270cc of hot water. It is Onomichi ramen, but the manufacturer is located in Fukushima prefecture, so that is why the package says Onomichi “type flavor” and not “made of” I guess.

It comes with only noodles and liquid soup inside the package and that is very simple.

My recommendation for toppings mentioned were char siu, bamboo shoots, spring onions and an egg, however I didn’t have them at home today, so I’ve had them with no ingredients. These noodles are a soy sauce flavor with small dried sardines as the base. The soup has a slight fishy broth aroma. It has a light taste, so it may be great eating when you are a little bit hungry or at night. It should go well with nori seaweed to eat together. I’ll try this with some toppings next time.

There are some pictures of Onomichi which I took there. I went to a ramen restaurant close to a ferry terminal. I didn’t take the picture of ramen, but it’s good. Onomichi is nice place to visit.It takes about one hour from Hiroshima station by Shinkansen and bus.
