The packages for Yokosuka Navy Curry Ramen's curry flavor (left) and chicken flavor (right) look like this. The blue one is beef flavor and the red one is chicken flavor.
First, I'll try the beef flavor.
It is said to be made with a rich flavor of beef stock.
The ingredients are as follows. The soup contains curry powder, flavor seasoning, pork seasoning, beef seasoning, onion powder, spices, onion extract, fond de veau seasoning, etc. It is interesting that even though it is beef flavored, there is more pork seasoning than beef seasoning.
The calorie content is 262 kcal per serving, of which 227 kcal is from the noodles and toppings, and 35 kcal is from the soup.
Inside the package was a packet of spices.
The toppings are seasoned minced chicken and beef, potatoes, carrots, and onions.
Pour in boiling water and wait 4 minutes.
After 4 minutes add the spices.
Stir well.
Finished. The soup is dark brown and has a spicy curry aroma.
The soup is slightly thick and has a strong beef and vegetable flavor. It is a very rich umami flavor, and compared to typical curry ramen, the umami stands out more than the spices.
The noodles were well mixed with the soup. The spiciness was mild, just a little spicy.
I'll try the chicken flavor too.
The side of the package says 'Made with fragrant roasted chicken oil.'
The soup contains chicken extract, curry powder, Worcestershire sauce, pork extract, spices, pork seasoning, chicken seasoning, onion extract, etc.
The calories are 228kcal for the noodles and toppings, and 38kcal for the soup. The total calories are 266kcal.
There was liquid soup inside.
The toppings are potatoes, seasoned minced chicken, carrots, and onions.
Pour in boiling water and heat the liquid soup on top of the lid for 4 minutes.
After 4 minutes, add the liquid soup.
Mix well and it's done.
The soup is yellowish brown.
The taste is characterized by its rich umami. However, although the package said it was 'made with fragrant roasted chicken oil,' I didn't feel any roasted aroma.
The soup was quite flavorful and masked the taste of the spices, so overall it felt more like 'ramen with a slightly spicy chicken soup' rather than curry.
