Thoughts on sapporo ichiban? At 99 cents a pop I think it's the best noodles you can get for the price

Sapporo is okay. The quality of the noodles is some of the best out there, but other brands have more tasty seasonings.

I live in flyover land and we've had Sapporo and plenty of other decent quality brands on the shelves for at least a decade. Michigan must really suck.

Why the fuck would I specifically go to an Asian market for fucking ramen? What's wrong with Maruchan?

it's garbage

They have them at Smith's Food & Drug grocery store in the Asian specialty aisle. Smith's is under Kroger.

I finally got around to trying a pack of those after seeing it posted in every ramen thread, and it was incredibly disappointing (aside from the fact that it's not even ramen). It's just a small portion of kind of spicy/oily noodles on a fucking plate.

One time I bought several 5-packs of sapporo ichiban and they mistakenly charged me only $1 for each bundle.
So I ended up getting like 35 noodle packs for 7 cents each.

I'm starting to get sick of instant noodles, but sapporo tastes much better than nissin or maruchan mass market crap.

So your regular grocery store has a fully stocked Asian section that somehow doesn't carry a single brand of imported instant ramen?

Fuck you, Maruchan Picante Chicken is delicious.
You think just because a grocery store carries ramen that it has a fully stocked foreign foods section? My Meijer has probably the best foreign food section in the area and it doesn't carry any imported ramen so far as I remember.

best

Even Target carries Sapporo.

And I don't live anywhere near a Target, there are hardly any fucking Targets, I don't know what your point is.

>I don't know what your point is

I guess it's that you apparently live somewhere even less cultured than what's typically considered flyover land, and should probably feel bad.

Why don't you fuck off? Seriously? I don't feel bad about not eating fucking weeb ramen or ramen in general, and I don't feel bad about living in a cheap, quiet part of the country, nigger.

...

To each his own, user. You do you.

>my tastebuds are fucked
If it saves you money, then your disability is actually a positive.

Try going to one of the more SWPLy towns like Ann Arbor or Tecumseh, user. You'll find more variety in everything at the grocery store in such places. I couldn't find Sapporo in Jackson when I lived there, but then, it's Jackson.

If you eat a lot of these or nothing but these, your shit will be bright green.

Shin is GOAT

Sapporo Iciban is th ebest kind. There are no substitutes.

Based shrimp flavour.

arent there enough chinese food threads for you to shitpost in? I know theyre 1/7 the world's population, but they don't need to dominate 1/7 the threads here.

Totally love Sapporo Ichiban too. That said, Indo Mei is a good mix up to the norm at times.

Man, you are missing out, there are so many flavors and funny satchet packets out there. You open up some foreign looking one, what are you getting? 3 packets? 4? who knows!
but Mama brand Garlic Duck is good

I hate how in love I am with these things

where does maruchan costs 79 cents a piece? Where i live it costs 20-25.

Top Ramen (Nissin) is the same price.

That ramen better be pretty damn good to cost a dollar a bowl.

saw an average chicken ramen yesterday... had 800+ mg of sodium per serving... average two servings per package

Have you tried the spicy one? It's pretty good.

Just had a package of this. Tastes pretty alright. The kimchi flavor was a bit weaker than I thought it would be, but strong enough. Spice builds on this a little bit, but nothing compared to the Indomie spicy noodles.

kimchi version is weak, stick to the shin black or regular hot and spicy versions.

I'll do that. Thanks, user. To be honest, I don't eat this stuff that often so I don't know what's good or bad.

Now that I think about it, I think I saw a giant stack of the black version at an asian super market the other month.

It's the only good brand left in Canada.

I miss noodle time. Sure they make those bowls and cups, but for some reason, noodles in styrofoam bowls and cups taste nothing like the ones in the packages. I drive by their building sometimes and it's huge. What the hell are they doing in there?

Too true, the cup noodles they do just have such an amazing texture aswell

Maruchan is usually seperate from the asian foods

Don't feel like making a new thread and this is kind of related
How do u guys cook shrimp before you put it ramen??
