Official ICHIRAN Take-Home Ramen Kit (Pork Bone Broth Flavor), Authentic Tonkotsu Ramen Noodle Soup Imported from Japan

One of the best ramen kits you can order. Broth has a ton of flavor. Not a powder mix broth, but actual packets of flavorful broth. Noodles were light not heavy or thick, but they absorb the broth very nicely. Noodles soak up the flavorful broth, and enhances the flavor. Very good ramen kit. I wish it was a bit cheaper, but still worth the price for premium ramen.

By far the best packaged ramen you can buy. Tastes almost just like the real Ichiran bowls! The price point is definitely high (especially for ramen), but well worth it in my opinion. I think everyone should experience this ramen at least once, if you can't make it to Japan or NYC.

Quick and easy prep. The noodles and soup are pure, unadulterated comfort food, even if you didn't grow up eating this sort of thing. As opposed to a typical bowl of instant ramen, which I'm sure we've all had plenty of, the feeling after finishing a bowl of Ichiran is different. The noodles are light, and strike a singular balance between firm and chewy. The broth-concentrate soup is very delicious and savory, and the prep honestly couldn't be easier. This soup is delicious. I only have two criticisms (and they're not, really). The red spice powder is undeniably pleasant and a perfect complement to the broth, but I don't know that I'd call it "hot". And the elephant in the room - you'd be forgiven for likening ten dollars per serving (that's three complete servings per box) of instant ramen to the noodle soup version of "millennial burger joint", but keep in mind that this is clearly pretty high quality, and it's also imported, and there's a global trade war going on. Even then, this is really some special stuff, and I believe it's worth the money if you can overlook the initial sticker shock.

I've eaten this stuff BEFORE it ever hit Amazon, and you had to buy it off of a specialty Asian-cuisine app. Overall, GREAT flavor. If you love sipping the broth, THIS is the broth to sip. It beats ANY other pork-flavored ramen in the world. As for cooking it, I've TRIED to do it in the Microwave, in a special bowl, but I over cooked it. Personally, I think cooking this ramen in a pot with boiling water is the best way. As for the SPICY factor... meh. Some say it's "really spicy", but as someone who adds black pepper and cayenne pepper to almost everything I cook (not soup lol), I say it's only MEDIUM spicy. Even with adding a FULL packet of the spice mix. Overall... Noodle Quality: 4/5 Broth Taste: 4.5+/5 Spice Flavor: 3.5/5 No matter what.. it's probably the BEST ramen soup (overall) you can buy. Most ramen noodle quality is CRAP, and most have sub-par taste before adding any spice mix. Sure, SOME may be spicier in general... but that's not the end-all, be-all for me.

I live in the metro area, and there are actually two Ichiran locations in New York that I’ve been to, both were consistently great. But realistically, I can’t go to the restaurant every time I’m craving ramen, so I decided to try this take-home kit. Honestly, it exceeded my expectations. The flavor is very close to what you get in-store: rich, creamy, and deeply satisfying, with that signature tonkotsu depth that’s hard to replicate. It really captures that authentic Ichiran taste, which surprised me for a packaged product. The noodles have a nice texture when cooked properly, firm with just the right chew, and they pair really well with the broth. Everything feels thoughtfully packaged, and it doesn’t come across like a generic instant ramen at all. That said, you absolutely have to follow the instructions carefully, especially when it comes to the broth. The water ratio matters more than you’d think. I learned that the hard way, added too much water the first time and ended up with a very bland, watered-down soup. Once I followed the exact measurements, the flavor came through perfectly. Overall, this is a great option if you want a convenient way to enjoy authentic ramen at home without sacrificing too much quality. Definitely recommended for anyone who loves Ichiran but can’t always make the trip into the city.

The price is eye watering, but the quality is indistinguishable, and I dare say better, than many of my local ramen houses.

I bought this as a stocking stuffer for my husband, and we both loved it! It's incredibly simple and quick to make with easy to follow instructions. The flavor really does remind me of ramen from Japan (which I'm always craving and is hard to find where I live). The package comes with enough for three servings, so it's not convenient for a couple to have for dinner aside from the one occasion. It does not include any sort of toppings, but even with just the soup base and noodles, I would gladly eat this. Because of the price, I don't regularly buy this, but I will definitely add it to my "buy again" list to experience as a treat every now and then!

Very good and flavorful ramen. Definitely worth trying. My only issue is that a year ago they sold for $30 for 5 servings. They have now reduced to 3 servings but kept the price at $30. Seems pretty scummy to me
