Nissin is broadening its Cup Noodle range by introducing the Creamy Tonkotsu Seafood, a distinctive blend combining robust tonkotsu and seafood flavors, just in time for Japan's colder months.
A Fusion of Seafood and Tonkotsu
With a blend of the signature Seafood Noodle broth and a delectable tonkotsu broth, Nissin aims to create an unmistakably delicious ramen experience, claims a report by Japan Today. The tonkotsu's richness complements the seafood's bold flavors, resulting in a savory and creamy broth that promises to leave customers craving more.
Accompanying the luscious broth are a variety of enticing toppings, notes SoraNews. Squid, imitation crab, egg, cabbage, and green onion provide a compelling combination of textures and flavors. These well-chosen ingredients perfectly complement the Cup Noodle Creamy Tonkotsu Seafood, delivering a satisfying and complete ramen experience.
In Japan, the fusion of tonkotsu and soy sauce broth is not uncommon. However, the combination of tonkotsu and seafood flavors presents a unique challenge.
Nissin's expertise shines through as they successfully balance these strong flavors, resulting in a harmonious collaboration that appeals to ramen connoisseurs.
Building upon a Proven Hit
Adding tonkotsu to the seafood broth is an inspired move by Nissin. The original Seafood Noodle already incorporates "pork seasoning" into its recipe, providing a foundation for the additional pork flavor.
This enhancement is expected to elevate the taste and further cement Cup Noodle's reputation as a worldwide go-to option for ramen enthusiasts.
Nissin's launch of the Cup Noodle Creamy Tonkotsu Seafood coincides with the arrival of colder weather in Japan. During this season, hearty and creamy stews are particularly popular, making the new flavor ideal for those seeking warmth and comfort in their meals.
Cup Noodle Creamy Tonkotsu Seafood will be released as part of Nissin's jumbo-sized Cup Noodle "Big" line. This larger portion ensures a filling and satisfying meal for ramen lovers. Priced at a reasonable 271 yen, this new offering will be available starting October 23.
