One weekend, I went shopping at the Aeon in Tsurumi Ward. It's so convenient to have everything from groceries to Sunday items, medicine, cosmetics... in one place, isn't it? While I was doing my grocery shopping, I happened to pass by the cup ramen section and found something familiar - "Original New Tan Tan Men Honpo"!! "Of course they would have it in Tsurumi Ward," you might say, but... actually, this is Tsurumi in Osaka! Yes, not Tsurumi Ward in Yokohama, but Tsurumi Ward in Osaka. It's not Aeon Komaoaka store, but Aeon Mall Tsurumi Midorichi! Isn't that amazing? It's not like they are having a local ramen fair or anything, they are just casually placed next to Chicken Ramen, Cup Noodles, and Maruchan noodles on the shelf. It's not a big section with only two rows, but still, it's proudly standing among other cup ramen. As someone who moved from Kawasaki, it makes me really happy. So, for dinner tonight, I decided to have the cup ramen from Original New Tan Tan Men Honpo! It's so easy to decide when you live alone, just go with your mood and impulse. No need to think about your partner's preferences (laughs). Ta-da! I bought Kawasaki's soul food! It was made by Sanyo Foods. Since they are the company behind Sapporo Ichiban and Cup Star, I have high expectations. It weighs 93g (only 70g for noodles). After checking, Cup Star is 72g (only 60g for noodles), and Nissin Cup Noodles is 78g (only 65g for noodles), so it's about 1.2 times the size. It seems like Kawasaki's soul food is hearty. When I opened the lid, it had the expected red chili color. The aroma of chili and garlic is also coming through. The required amount of hot water is 430g, which is a bit more than usual. Considering a cup is about 200g, it's two cups worth. I guess that's what you get with Original New Tan Tan Men Honpo, where you enjoy both the noodles and the soup. After pouring hot water and waiting for 3 minutes, it's ready. Wow, it looks and smells authentic! The fluffy egg is also there. And that garlic aroma... Oh, it's a shame you can't deliver this online. Eating this hot Tan Tan Men while breathing heavily, it's so satisfying. Phew, I finished all the soup too. I never expected to find this product in Osaka, it was a pleasant surprise. Thank you for the meal.
