Hey everyone! I'm a local living in northern Tokyo and I recently tried one of the strangest instant noodle flavors I've ever seen — Ippeichan’s Shortcake Flavor Yakisoba, released for their 30th anniversary. Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like. No soy sauce, no mayo, just… sugar powder, strawberry jam, and shortcake aroma mixed into hot noodles. It was way too sweet. Not just a little sweet — DESSERT-level sweet. It smelled like cake and tasted like a sugary nightmare. If you're curious, I wrote a full blog post (with pictures) about the experience👉 https://iamkimura.com/2025/05/28/ippeichans-shortcake-flavor/
