On January 23, Nissin Foods released "Cup Noodle Matcha Matcha Tailored Seafood Flavor".

This product expresses the "Japanese world view". It is true that both "ramen" and "matcha" are gaining popularity overseas as representative food cultures in Japan, but what kind of taste is the "matcha cup noodle" that combines the two? Shall we ... I tried it right away!

◆ Noodles are green

When you open the lid, you will find green noodles and green powder inside. The green noodles are said to be the first "chasoba-style" noodles used in the history of cup noodles, and it seems that matcha (processed products) is kneaded into them. Matcha (processed product) is also added to the soup.

When you smell it, it has a slight matcha-like scent .

◆ The taste is almost seafood

First, take a bite of soup. ... Yeah, rich and creamy seafood flavor! The spiciness of pepper enhances the umami of the seafood that spreads thickly. And after swallowing, it's faintly coming out of your nose ... The deep and mellow scent of matcha!



When I sipped the noodles, the first impression was the seafood flavor. It wasn't particularly sweet or bitter. However, whether it was the entwined soup or the noodles themselves, I felt that the flavor and bitterness of matcha was chasing after chewing.


Rather than a matcha feature, the impression is that matcha assists in the original taste of seafood. Speaking of peace of mind, it's safe, but as a matcha lover, it might have been better for Matcha to insist!

However, the package seems to be auspicious, so if you see it, you can try it once!
