Our take on the NISSIN Cup Noodles Donbe Kitsune Udon East Ramen 96g×12 Japan

Nissin Donbei Kitsune Udon is a Japanese instant cup udon in the eastern (Tokyo-style) dashi broth, topped with a piece of seasoned fried tofu (kitsune) and kamaboko fish cake. The noodles are oil-fried and soften in about 3 minutes with boiling water. It suits people who want a mild, sweet-savory soy dashi udon rather than a spicy or heavy ramen. Against rival cup udon it is known for the tofu topping and the light broth; the trade-off is a small portion and a soft, non-springy noodle texture.
