The soup is a rich seafood broth that complements the noodles, and the special fishmeal packet that comes with the noodles for the finishing touch further enhances the seafood flavor. The large pork belly chashu pork is also very satisfying, making this soup a condensed version of the best part of tsukemen.</p>
<p> The noodles are surprisingly firm and chewy in every ramen and tsukemen dish. In the frozen ramen and tsukemen scene, which is constantly evolving, we have the impression that the convenience store&#8217;s development capabilities are pushing up the overall quality. As a ramen fan, I hope that the convenience store will continue to develop products in collaboration with famous restaurants and expand the number of places throughout Japan where customers can enjoy the taste of famous restaurants.</p>
