[15 selections] Korean Instant Noodles you can Buy in Japan!

When it comes to Korea, instant noodles are the name of the game! They often appear in Korean dramas and movies. This time we have compiled a list of Korean instant noodles available in Japan.

By the way, please prepare kimchi when you eat instant noodles! In Korea, it is not customary to add vegetables to instant noodles, so kimchi is added instead of vegetables. You can enjoy it in the local style.

Korea's national ramen "Nongshim｜Shin Ramen"

Korea's national ramen is, without a doubt, "Shin Ramen". The "Uma-kara (good and spicy)" is a harmony of deliciousness and spiciness. The spicy ramen is made with thick, firm noodles, and the broth is intertwined with the noodle.

By the way, the founder of Shin Ramen, Nongshin, is the younger brother of Takeo Shigemitsu, the founder of Lotte. Currently, it is deployed in more than 100 countries around the world and boasts a 25% share of the Korean ramen market.

Korea's No. 2 Ramen "Ottogi｜Jin Ramen"

After spicy ramen, Korea's No. 2 selling ramen is "Jin Ramen", which is manufactured in Ottogi. Because of the similarity of the names, there have been allegations of plagiarism.

It is a national ramen that has been loved since it was released in March 1988, ahead of the Seoul Olympics.

"Jin" comes from the Korean word "Jinhada," meaning "thick," and the soup is characterized by its richness. Two styles of Jinhada, a mild flavor for those who don't like spicy food and a spicy flavor for those who like it, have been maintained from the time of its launch to the present.

The popular Buldak series! "Samyang Foods | Cheese Buldak Bokkeum Myun"

Samyang Foods representative brand "Buldak" stir-fried noodle series that is very popular in Japan.

Buldak is so spicy, so if you are not too good at it, we recommend the cheese-flavored “Cheese Buldak Bokkeum Myun”. The spiciness is about half that of the original, and the taste is slightly cheese-flavored.

There are various arrangement menus, so please try to eat it in your favorite way.

A must-see for spicy lovers! "Samyang Foods｜Extremely Spicy Buldak Bokkeum Myun"

A series product of Korean spicy instant noodles "Buldak Bokkeum Myun", which is popular among people who like spicy food. The atmosphere that seems to be dangerous from the appearance.

It's not just spicy, but there's a hint of sweetness within the spiciness, so it's delicious and addictive, and you'll end up eating it all the way through, but the problem is after that...!

The inside of my mouth is getting hot and hot, and it hurts for a while.

Especially recommended for those who like Mongolian Tanmen and Nakamoto.

"Nongshim | Chapagetti" loved in Korea for over 30 years

Chapaghetti is a very popular instant noodle in Korea, a Korean-style jajang noodle with olive oil. Its popularity is so great that 30 years after its launch in 1984, it still ranks among the top 10 in the Korean instant noodle market!

It looks like yakisoba, but it tastes like burnt soy sauce, not sauce. It's not spicy, so even those who don't like spicy food can enjoy it.

"Nongshim | Neoguri Ramen", where the umami of seafood spreads

“Neoguri Ramen” is characterized by its chewy and chewy thick noodles. "Neoguri" means "raccoon dog" in Korean. The name comes from the fact that the round and chubby noodles remind us of a raccoon dog.

The soup is a seafood soup made with a variety of seafood such as shellfish, squid, shrimp, and bonito. The umami of seafood spreads out. We can't stop eating even though we say it's spicy.

A big hit in the movie "Parasite"! "Nongshim | Jjapaguri Cup Noodles"

“Jjapaguri” is a slightly unusual Korean gourmet dish that combines two types of instant noodles, “Noguri Ramen” and “Chapagetti”. Appeared as cup noodles.

A noodle dish that became famous in the movie "Parasite". In the movie, it was topped with beef, but we also recommend pairing it with kimchi!
