Menraku Tonkotsu Ramen, 2.9 Ounce (Pack of 12)

**BEGIN UPDATE 9/08** Just received my 2nd case of 12 in a little over 3-wks, but then again I've been sharing, 1/3 for sharing w/my taste-buddies while the remaining 2/3's have been for my own taste-buds. I added little steamed won-tons today but it was more than this soup needed, maybe tomorrow a sliced hard-boiled egg; keeping it simple is the best way to enjoy this bowl of ramen wherein the broth is superior. I will let you know if I ever get on to trying the other flavors as I'd originally hoped. Thanks for reading. **END UPDATE**If you ever enjoyed add-hot water and wait bowl-type instant ramen, this has, in my humble opinion, the best tasting broth, no-contest of this type that I've ever had since "Cup Jorick" came along early 70's. Fast-forward, for the last year or so I've enjoyed the "Nong Shim Big Bowl Noodle Udon" (still do!) since it isn't SPICY at all, allowing me to add spice if I choose to change it up, add steamed won-tons, char siu - you get the idea. "Menraku Tonkotsu Ramen" while the noodles are on par w/instant ramen of the bowl variety, here it's the RICH BROTH, that immediately upon tasting, is set apart from the usual within the category. Other reviewers here who have also enjoyed have picked up the same flavorful aspects: buttery, a bit of garlic, a rich-tasting broth like you could only get home-made or in the best kept secret asian restaurants. I look forward to trying the other Menraku varieties: Shio Ramen, Miso Ramen, and Shoyu Ramen, all very basic flavors that can be lost causes in the wrong hands but I am convinced on this experience alone, though "Tonkotsu" ramen may be my new, all-time favorite, that I will enjoy the others as well. Wondered about "Tonkotsu"(pork-bone), not to be confused w/"tonkatsu"(breaded pork cutlet), as the broth didn't convey much pork taste though it could be usual Japanese subtlety at play here. I got this on WED and I've had one each day since. I should get another case soon as I know I'll be sharing. Currently living in a dorm? Buy the case. Stash it however you're best able or split the case w/others. It's quick, easy and great value. Amazon Prime got it here in two-days!!! The only thing left to say is "Itadakimasu!"
