#7 Hakata Chicken Ramen Washi Packaging

April 12.2016 BY Japanese instant ramen shop owner, Sakura.

What I’m going to introduce today is
a Hakata ramen noodle from Fukuoka - chicken flavour.

Japanese Name: Hakata Ramen Toriaji Washi Package
English Name: Hakata Chicken Ramen Washi Packaging
Product Page : http://jmyths.com/hakata-chicken-ramen-washi-packaging.html

The package has a portable noodle stall printed on the front,
the town of Fukuoka is known for these stalls being found here and there at night.

There are three points that when looking at this product make me want to buy and eat them. Firstly, the name on the package “Hakata ramen noodle” is written in large characters on the front . Hakata is very famous for ramen noodles and we all know they are great. So, when you see the letters Hakata ramen noodle, that is enough to make anyone want to buy them. Secondly is the material of the package. Normally, instant noodles are mostly packed in plastic, but this product is packed with Japanese paper so that is a clear difference from other products and also makes me feel like I would want to try them. Thirdly, the name of the company “TORISHI” is written on the top left. This is not a well known company in Japan, but if you are a fan of ramen noodles, you would know that this company’s products are high in quality and have been loved by people from Kyushu for such a long time. Being loved for a long time proves a delicious taste. That makes you buy this product, doesn’t it?

There are only noodles and soup powder and no dried food and so on contained in the package, the noodle block is not curly deep fried noodles but rather straight noodles.

There’s a tip on how to enjoy the taste at the back of the package. It is recommended that the noodles and soup should be cooked separately: Boil the noodles for approximately two minutes in 500 cc of boiling water.While cooking the noodles, put some soup powder in a bowl and pour 250cc of hot water in.Add the boiled noodles in the bowl and it’s complete.

I’ve added some pork slices, Wakame seaweed and chopped up spring onions.Look at the steam coming out from the noodles, they look hot and delicious.The soup has no color as you can see, the noodles are a little skinny and the taste is relatively light. The soup contains some extracted pork and chicken, the taste of the soup is chicken flavor,but it’s different to the chicken stock in America and European countries.Plus, it has a slight soy sauce taste in the chicken flavor. Why not have a go once!.

(Note: I know some people just pour hot water in the package and eat.. However, this product’s package is made of paper, so please do not do that with this product.)

This ramen is from Fukuoka, Japan.
The package is very simple, with no pictures
and the words "Tonkotsu ramen" written in Japanese.
I can see the noodles, so I could figure out what this product is even if I could not read Japanese.
The reason why I chose this ramen is that I feel like having Fukuoka tonkotsu, and the simple packaging is attractive to me.

It includes noodles and liquid soup.
For this ramen, it is better to cook noodles and soup separately.

I added the toppings: white onions, Chashu, a ramen egg, cabbage, and some red picked ginger. These are my usual toppings for tonkotsu ramen.

This noodles taste like a Japanese noodles, Somen.

This ramen is lower calories than other ramen noodles. It’s about 293calories without any toppings. It was good ramen for the last bite of the evening.

I went to a ramen shop for lunch today.

I was out of office and had a lunch on the way back.

The ramen I had was Wafu ramen.
It’s made by blending sardine, skipjack, mackerel,
or kelp stock with a thick pork-bone soup in the perfect proportions
to make a delightfully smooth “double-soup” or blended broth.
It has no fishy smell, and so it is a flavor that anyone and everyone can enjoy.

Access:About five minutes walk from Nishinakajimaminamikata station, Midosuji line.

Today’s ramen is from Tottori prefecture, Chugoku area.

Japanese Name: Negiman-Ramen
English Name: Spring Onion and Salty Chicken Ramen
Product Page:

The package comes with onion spice called HAKUSOURO.
It’s very grouse and stick in the tiny plastic bag, hard to remove,
Black sticky glue like and make me annoyed
but Negiman Ramen taste was 90 point out of 100!

It contains noodles, soup paste and white spring onion.

How to make is super-easy as always.
This noodle uses separate boiled water for noodles and for soup cooking.
Step 1 Boil water more than 800ml for noodles.

Step 2 Add dried noodles and boil for 3min.
You can adjust boiling time as you like for hard or soft noodle. I like al dente.

Step 3 Remove the noodle to Colander.

Step 4 Make soup with 250-300ml boiled water.

Step 5 Add the HAKUSOURO-Sticky Creepy black onion paste.

Topping for this time is legacy homemade tasted egg called Ajitama
and Braised Pork called Char siu and minced onion.
The how to make Ajitama is also easy.

Negiman Ramen “Onion-Man Ramen” made in Totori prefecture in Chyugoku area.
which is famous for an explosion of the Mt Kuttara crater.
Famous sightseeing spot in Totori is Totori sakyu “Sand dunes”.
For more details of Totori, you can visit official site:

Green onion called Negi in Japanese I can find cheap frozen minced Negi made in China
but I select Japan Onion always.
Negi ranks number 4th for Japanese favorite vegetables.
Famous Negi produced are all in Kanto.
No.1 Saitama
No.2 Chiba
No.3 Ibaraki
No.4 Hokkaido
No.5 Ooita
No.6 Fukuoka
No.7 Totori

Why this negiman ramen is made in Totori??? Why not form Saitama?
Why? If I make Negiman ramen with Saitama Negi, especially fukaya-city,I can make much better Super Negniman Ramen.
In furture we will make Super Negiman ramen with mascot of Fukkachan.
Fukkachan is personified Green Onion mascot of Fukaya city in Saitama prefecture.

"Hokkaido Noboribetsu Shio ramen" today.

This is Shio ramen from Noboribetsu, Hokkaido.
Japanese Name:Jigoku-Dani no Gekiuma Shio Ramen

This is the one with packaging that my friend in France likes.
It doesn't look like ramen noodles, but it's ramen!

Noboribetsu is the site of a hot spring in Hokkaido
which is famous for an explosion of the Mt Kuttara crater.
Legend has it that the Great King Yama, Emma, came to Noboribetsu with ogres.
Because of this, there are many products with ogre motifs.This is one of them.
"I went to Noboribetsu" is written on the ramen package.
Japanese know that Noboribetsu is in Hokkaido.
People know that ramen in Hokkaido is delicious.
This is a big deciding factor when people choose one instant ramen from many other ramens.
Of course, the ogre face is a big point as well.

It includes two types of soup (liquid and salt) and fried noodles.
It's on the tray to protect the ramen noodles.

Cooking instructions for this instant ramen are on the back of the package.
Boil the noodles for 3 minutes in 600cc of boiling water.

I put ramen noodle into a very hot stone bowl to mix with Noboribetsu jigokudani.
This ramen is a well-balanced taste that spreads in the mouth.
If you like Pho, which are Vietnamese noodles, I would recommend this!
