Broth ★★★★☆
The taste of this miso flavor will linger in your mouth for hours after you finish eating these soup noodles because the broth is very tasty.
Trust me.
The spice packets add a kick to this savory and umami bliss of soup. This broth pairs well with many kinds of toppings. I recommend putting a lot of vegetables.
Let’s be honest...
The miso taste is mild and light, so you may feel like it doesn’t taste like regular miso soup. But you can enjoy this broth with the noodles, as I feel like they go well together.
But know this, Sapporo Ichiban miso flavor does not taste like miso ramen from a seasoned ramen shop.

Noodles ★★★★☆
It has a good flavor and has the characteristic chewiness of fried instant noodles.
In fact, they have a lot more bite than the usual soggy ones. Very smooth and a true comfort food.
Toppings ★☆☆☆☆
There is a spice packet for sprinkling on top of the ramen. If you use it, the broth will have a bit of a kick to it.
With this spice packet, the noodles taste good, but additional toppings make it great!
But wait – there're toppings that I recommend.
