The contemporary cup noodles usually come equipped with a packet of seasoning and oil but Nissin decided to keep things simple. With all the bits of ingredients already in there, all you have to do is to peel back the lid and add hot water. So no more dropping seasonings in cup noodles like saltbae.

The dried ingredients included some octopus slices, and bits of carrots and eggs. After 3 minutes, the noodles should be al dente for you to enjoy.
Since it’s matcha flavour, the noodles are green instead of yellow colour. However, according to the reviewer, the noodles didn’t taste anything like matcha. And the broth also didn’t taste like green tea either! Why like that one?

Surprisingly, the broth tastes of cheese and black pepper. It was discovered that besides matcha, cheese and onion powder, chicken and pork stock were used as seasoning based on the ingredients list.
But everyone has different taste buds, so I guess you’ll have to try it to find out yourself!
