Welcome!

Katsuo tataki (Kochi regional dish) teishoku

Welcome all! Part of living in Japan means being surrounded by amazing food all the time. A trip to the grocery store can be such an adventure! Part of me wants to try all of these foods and the other part wants to share them with the world (okay, just my friends and family).

So, I've decided to document my food adventures here. Some things I want to include:


  • Ramen Reviews (with a whole aisle dedicated to instant ramen...we need to figure out which ones are worth it, and which ones shouldn't be bothered with)
  • Limited Edition Snack Spotlight (new varieties of snacks come out all the time and sometimes they're so bizarre that they must be sampled!)
  • Adult Corner (aka...alcohol. The alcohol area is vast and full of new drinks, limited edition things and experimentation!)
More to come when I think of it. I have a friend who wants to try all the different bottles of tea and maybe she can feature her things on here as well.

Let's see what we can do!

Ramen Reviews :: Maru-Chan Shoyu Ramen

Another look at some Maru-Chan ramen. This time the Shoyu (soy sauce) flavour. I enjoy shoyu ramen because it's got a less oily texture in comparison to tonkatsu ramen. This was no exception to that rule. It was definitely less oily than the previous ramens. It had a nice soy flavour to it. The noodles were thicker and I enjoyed their firm texture. They had a nice chewiness to them. I dolled up my bowl of ramen with a hardboiled egg, boy choi, carrots and bean sprouts. I split the noodles and broth in half to make two meals from it as I typically do. One package is a bit lower in calories than the previous ones. A package is 340 calories, 66g of carbohydrates, 4g of fat, 10g of protein and 2,300 mg of sodium. Instant ramen is always going to be high in sodium which is why it's important to be mindful and not eat it frequently. Also to dress it up with as many veggies and good things as you can!!

Ramen Reviews ::

This is another old one that I had originally placed on my instagram story. (Hence the words on the picture) There is tons of instant ramen here, an entire aisle of it at any grocery store. There's a lot to pick from and thus I can often feel a little overwhelmed and just stick to what I'm familiar with instead of braving the unknown. Furthermore, lots of these packets are just noodles and broth (or sauce) but the images on the packaging have vegetables and meat. A bunch of goodies. Basically, you can just buy these and just eat the noodles. However, what I prefer to do is deck them out. Go to the vegetable area and grab a bunch of veggies to pad out the noodles. You end up with a much better dish overall and (depending on how many veggies you add) you might be able to stretch the noodles into two meals instead of one! Now I no longer have this wrapper so I can't properly give you a lot of information besides the image you see above. It was a tonkatsu ramen, aka, ...
