It used to be much better a few years back. Its pretty crazy how we can find it everywhere now.

We ate it with a float of thinly sliced fish cake and green onions. My ancestry is Hawaiian and Chinese so these flavors were the norm. I believe that, to please American palats, many Asian recipes were modified sadly. You might consider emailing the company with your concerns. Who knows they might go back to the original ingredients. Case in point...Coca Cola.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17274375.post-20671240961689248462011-03-10T23:01:26.836-05:002011-03-10T23:01:26.836-05:00I love Sapporo Ichiban, but I don't like that ...I love Sapporo Ichiban, but I don't like that they started to put beef in the Original.

But it seems that i get an odd taste as well. I thought maybe it was just stale but no. I have resorted to adding a lot of soy sauce in order to mask it away. Very odd, but i still prefer it to top ramen or others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17274375.post-39651699288544293502008-10-21T10:21:00.000-04:002008-10-21T10:21:00.000-04:00If you like these, I recommend that you also try N...If you like these, I recommend that you also try Nissin Demae. Nissin Demae is pretty similar to Sapporo Ichiban but offer a few unique flavors.Alvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07509681878760670911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17274375.post-25523033556384584722008-10-20T16:58:00.000-04:002008-10-20T16:58:00.000-04:00This is just the best instant ramen I've tried (Or...This is just the best instant ramen I've tried (Original flavor in particular). I've eaten a couple other brands, and they just don't compare in terms of the quality and springiness of the noodles, and the unique flavor of the "Original" broth. If anyone could recommend any alternatives that could rival this, I'd like to hear it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17274375.post-76218868908289967442007-12-28T23:06:00.000-05:002007-12-28T23:06:00.000-05:00I've been eating Ichiban Original for years with a...I've been eating Ichiban Original for years with an egg stirred in it and it was always delicious. But recently, the noodles and soup have an off taste to it that is most unappealing. I've tried several packages of it and it all seems the same now.<BR/><BR/>Has anyone else experienced this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
