Nissin – Cup Noodles – Pork Tonkotsu

Pot

This pot is dawned with art work that looks like it was inspired by a mixture of classical Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai and children’s illustrator Richard Scarry. When you purchase these noodles part of the pleasure is just looking at the illustration on the pot and lid of the product.

Once you have finished looking, you will be slightly disappointed to see its a plastic pot, though at least the lid had more green credentials with it being made of foil.

What’s Inside and how to prepare

Lifting the lid, you will see no extra sachets and just the contents that you will add the boiling water.

Initial impressions of contents was good, as could see a decent amount of vegetables and pork amongst the flavouring powder.

Taste

I have to make a confession here, in that I had never heard of Pork Tonkotsu, so to the Pork Tonktsu purists out there I am sorry that I cannot tell you if this tastes anywhere near what it should, however I can tell you it tasted good, very good!

The noodles seemed a little thicker than normal, with a great consistency all covered in a nice thick sauce. You could actually taste the individual flavours of pork, peppers, cabbage and spring onion, which you might expect from a product that costs a little more than average. The contents to noodle ratio was good, as I never had a moment where I was just eating plain noodles, which I find you can get with other noodle based pot snacks.
