The product pairs a salt soup made with the umami of Hokkaido scallop broth with an accent of sansho pepper, creating a flavor profile described as a sophisticated, adult-oriented bowl.
Key Features
The soup base uses chicken combined with aromatic vegetables and scallop umami. A separately included liquid seasoning packet delivers the sansho pepper flavor, which is said to draw out and complement the taste of the scallop broth for a fuller, more layered finish.
The noodles are smooth and round-cut, offering a pleasing texture with an appropriate bite. The rehydration time is 3 minutes.
Toppings include green onion, light and airy wheat gluten (fu), and menma bamboo shoots.
