Oriental vs. Soy Sauce Ramen Review

Journal by takyon

I saw these two Maruchan ramen packets next to each other at a Walmart, and decided to taste test them.


They taste the same, and they are the same. There's nothing to review.

Oriental had a 2015 copyright date, 2019 for Soy Sauce. Both had a similar expiration date, probably August 2020.

Soy Sauce is clearly the politically correct rebranding. The competitor, Nissin (Top Ramen), did the same.

Bring back Mushroom flavor, you fucks!

    Go to an Oriental (haha) store and peruse their selection of ramen. You'll wonder why you ever put up with the meagre selection and uninspired flavors at the longnosed supermarket.

    I'm sure you could find a good mushroom soup there. Many of them have dried meats and vegetables rather than having been turned to seasoning powder.

    My current favorite is the Korean 辛 soup: A good pick-me-up and also an excellent decongestant when sick.

    I could probably just mix kimchi with hot broth and call it a soup.

    This time I'm trying to lightly carbonate the kimchi. I'll see if it works in about a week or two.

    I can get Nongshim almost anywhere. Infinitely better than Maruchan or Nissin!
    Mushroom was the best of the Maruchan tho' 😉.
