OOsaka

Looking for this Instant Ramen i was given when I came to Osaka

  • December 29, 2025

So basically when we arrived at the hotel, I had not eaten in just under 24 hours (the plane did not have my vegetarian meal ordered and had no substitutes). I was given the pictured ramen by the hotel. I remember it tasting amazing. It likely had meat in it – by that point I didn't care. Id love to be able to purchase one again, price be damned. I just dont know what it is. Could someone help a UK person

  1. Also apologies for the poor photo. I had to screen shot it for a video. Let me know if you need another angle. I haven’t got many though 😕

  2. It’s not ramen, it is soba.

    Usually they come in a different size/shape carton from that, they are popular as is the udon ones.

    You can pick them up online in the UK if google asian supermarkets, probably gonna pay around £3.50.

  6. This is Nissin’s product called Donbei(**どん兵衛**). The one in the photo is their tempura soba.

    (Ingredients include fish-based and plant-derived components.)

    It’s a noodle product made from buckwheat flour, not ramen.

    It’s delicious, right? I love it too.

    The containers come in vertical and horizontal types.

    Both contain the same product.

    The following is the manufacturer’s official Donbei website:

    They offer various types.

    The main horizontal type is displayed on the above site.

    There are also various flavors.

    The broth taste differs between eastern and western Japan.

    Besides soba, they also have udon.

    That’s also delicious and recommended.

    Many similar products exist from other manufacturers as well.

    Buying overseas seems to be more expensive per item.

    If you have friends in Japan, it might be cheaper to ask them to send it to you.

    I’m using DeepL to translate from Japanese to English.

    I apologize if the phrasing sounds awkward.

    Edit:
