Nissin Cup Noodle Reiwa Celebrating Japan’s New Era
As the new era of Reiwa (令和) has finally come here in Japan, I have recently seen several products relating to it in stores.
Last time, I stopped by a drugstore and came across this instant Yakisoba with real gold from the Peyang Sauce Yakisoba series celebrating the advent of Reiwa.
I love ramen. So when I go shopping at a supermarket, I almost always head to its instant noodles section and check whether there are newly released products with appealing packaging.
Nissin Cup Noodle Reiwa Instant Ramen
And yesterday, piles of this memorial cup from Nissin welcomed me at the entrance of the instant noodles aisle, which drew my interest, making me grab one.
On the golden paper lid of the Nissin Cup Noodle I picked up, the red Kanji characters 令和元年, meaning the first year of Reiwa, were printed.
What do you think is used as a motif for this package design? If you are well-acquainted with Japanese things, you should answer this question.
The answer is
Daruma (だるま)
Daruma is a traditional Japanese wishing doll known as a lucky charm for the new year. Now, let’s get back to the main subject.
Flavor
Although I carefully read the product description, I couldn’t find the info on flavor.
So I checked the ingredients list, visited the official site, and found that the contents are the same as regular Nissin Cup Noodle Shoyu or Soy Sauce.
As you can see in the photo, the Cup Noodle Reiwa is just Nissin Cup Noodle Soy Sauce with lucky memorial packaging for the new era Reiwa (令和)!
