B.I.G. Picks – 5 Must-Try Ramen Noodles

The name ‘Itsuki’ comes from a village in Kumamoto, Japan, a place known to locals for producing high quality soba (buckwheat). The company claims that their soba seeds are distinguished from regular soba due to the nature of varying weather cycles that affects the growing area. But it’s not just soba that made them famous, udon wanna miss their udon too. This one comes with their signature soup a.k.a. dashi (soup stock) made with kombu (kelp) and katsuobushi (bonito flakes). Bonito appetite!

The milky broth of tonkotsu ramen was made famous in the Fukuoka region, but you’ll find it anywhere and everywhere in today’s Japan. You can add more ingredients such as a hard boiled egg or spring onions, but most rameniacs love it on it’s own. Get busy slurping this deliciously creamy noodle soup that The Ramen Rater has given 5 out of 5 stars! 

Another hit from the ramen giant, Maruchan’s Miso Soup is light and scrumptious with a classic chicken flavour that we mi-so love, and they’ve added a spicy kick, too. Having chicken soup as the base makes a ramen dish versatile, allowing any number of additional chopped foods such as vegetables, fried omelette cut into long strips, tofu, or tempeh. Our chosen secret sauce? Lingam’s chili sauce! Try it, you’ll thank us later. 

It’s time to get busy noodling, so join us at Ben’s Independent Grocer for our B.I.G. Japan Fair! Be sure to grab as many ramen packets as you can while we’ve got them. There’ll be lots of other food too, so come on an empty stomach! More fair details here: http://bit.ly/BIGJapanFair19
