Our ramen for today is Fukuoka tomato ramen noodles.



















This package has a tomato image on the whole packet. You can tell it is ramen, because it does say TOMATO RAMEN in English on the package. The decisive fact is of course tomatoes. It says ‘Soup with tomato momotaro 100% being used’ on the packet. Momotaro is one of the tomato kinds and they take about 70% of the share in Japan. So, you can tell how the soup is extracted with umami from tomatoes and tomatoes as it says they used Momotaro 100% in the soup. You can almost only see tomatoes, but this product also focuses on the noodles. The packet has a small writing saying ‘it uses Fukuoka barley.’. Well, Fukuoka prefecture developed a new kind of barley for ramen in order to polish the ramen up even more recently. This barley is called ‘Rah barley’ and produced only by the farmers in Fukuoka prefecture. When they make noodles with the barley, the noodle has a light color, firmness and doesn’t get too soft so it is the straight and skinny as its feature. It’s worth eating these developed noodles made with specific flour that was only made for ramen noodle use.



















It contains noodles and liquid soup. Noodle is straight and dried.



















A guide for cooking written at the back is for cooking the specialty noodles and the tomato Momotaro soup and eating them. Boil enough water in a pot, add the noodles and boil for approximately three minutes. While boiling the noodles, prepare 270ml of hot water and mix the soup sachet in a bowl, drain the water once the noodles are cooked drain the water and add the noodles in the bowl. There’s no information written regarding the extracted pork.



















As a preferable way of eating, it’s even better adding some powdered cheese, bok choy and char siu. The leftover soup after the noodles have been eaten is still good to drink as it is, but it’s also recommended to add some rice in the soup and eat like a risotto. Please enjoy your original dish with these noodles by adding some cheese powder and so on. I love adding some cheese personally as the cheese always goes well with tomatoes! I didn’t have cheese today, so I added fresh tomato and green onion, which went well!!

























This product has gotten attention on TV in Japan.
