Myojo Japanese Style Ramen Soup Base Packets - Shoyu Flavors (Pack of 12)

This makes really great ramen broth. I usually add just a little soy sauce to it (and water of course) and it’s delicious. I have tried many other brands, both liquid and powder, and this is the best I’ve found. Amazon was out of it for a bit and I was so sad. The alternative I bought was not good. Happy to see that it’s back! The only bad thing was that last time I bought it, like in April it had an expiration date of August. Didn’t end up using it all up (we don’t eat a ton of ramen in the summer) but seemed to be fine after the expiration date (used it up through December). Anyway, great ramen broth that the whole family loves.

Bold flavor if you love soy sauce. Add brown sugar or honey to cut the salt if need be. Would recommend vegetables and meats to cut the salt as well. Good stuff.

I've really enjoyed having this soup base on hand. I've been making a lot of ramen lately & it's really nice to be able to make it with noodles I have on hand. It's a tasty base, if a bit salty (what do you expect from shoyu, after all?). I would definitely purchase this again. I'd really like to get a tonkatsu base next time.

I was delighted and astounded by how good this ramen soup base is! I will definitely purchase this again. It's a semi-liquid gel - not powder, so it mixes thoroughly and instantly. The second you open the packet the rich aroma is noticeable. Add hot water and stir and it's ready to enjoy. You really don't even need ramen - it's that good!

According to the instructions each pouch makes only about 1.4 cups of soup (water+concentrate), only enough for a small bowl of Ramen. Yet their sodium content is high: about 3300 mg for the Shoyu and 2280 mg for the Tonkatsu.

The instructions required adding 300ml of water when making this concentrate into a soup base, I've found that 500ml of water almost doubles the soup amount without sacrificing flavor - you can always add some chilli garlic sauce for a little heat and salt if needed.

Good choice when you want some quick warm soup. Works for ramen, wonton, tofu, and other things. I use half of a pack for one serving. Wish it comes with smaller packs.

I'm gluten sensitive so I order these soup bases and eat them with rice stick noodles for ramen... I was kind of bummed when I made this one for the first time - it tasted like plastic - I thought maybe it was something I did or used in the process so the next time, I tasted it right out of the package - same aftertaste - I just tossed it...
