The Nissin Demae Ramen are deceptively large, weighing in at 100g. In general, this brand tends to be milder in flavor than other instant noodles. This is not necessarily a bad thing, because Nissin Demae usually pulls of their flavors pretty well.
Inside this ramen are a seasoning powder and a flavored oil. As expected, the flavor was quite mild, but nice and beefy. There were a lot of noodles, but they were thinner and less flavorful than I would have liked. The taste of the noodles themselves is a little bit mealy, although this effect is very subtle.
I have eaten this ramen so often over the years that it is what I instantly think of when I think about instant noodles. It is fine and basic but nothing particularly special. Nissin Demae is a quality brand of ramen, but I would recommend a more exciting flavor such as Hot & Spicy.
Nissin Demae Ramen - Beef Flavor - 6.5/10
This particular Nissin brand reminds me of the cheap ramen in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteDemae ramen is better than American nissin top ramen (usually 10 for a buck during a sale at local drug store). For truly disgusting American ramen, ever try Campbell's (yes the canned soup company) ramen? Fortunately it's discontinued. I think demae ramen comes from hk. http://www.nissinfoods.com.hk/02_products/02_index.html
ReplyDeleteThe stewed beef flavor misin is quite good . misin = rice noodle
sesame flavour is the best in my opinion!
ReplyDeleteis the demae ramen noodles discontinued? I went to 4 asian markets and they didnt have it. The sesame oil one is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThey haven't received shipments of them stateside in quite in awhile. That's what I gather from asking local asian supermarkets.
ReplyDeleteIts killing me without them for few months already!!!!!! Maybe gotta buy the Japan version $6.99 for 5 huh!
ReplyDeleteThey are back now.
