This instant ramen takes clear inspiration from "Toyama Black Shoyu Ramen". This regional ramen features a soup that's as black as night.

Just like in the Toyama region, this instant ramen's soup is peppery and salty. The cover says "you'll be craving white rice". This is a nod to Toyama, where white rice is often served as a side dish with the ramen. The thick noodles and fried garlic chips are a special treat. The brand that makes this instant ramen (Ippei-chan) is actually best known for instant yakisoba (Japanese fried noodles).
