Official ICHIRAN Take-Home Ramen Kit (Pork Bone Broth Flavor), Authentic Tonkotsu Ramen Noodle Soup Imported from Japan

One of the best ramen kits you can order. Broth has a ton of flavor. Not a powder mix broth, but actual packets of flavorful broth. Noodles were light not heavy or thick, but they absorb the broth very nicely. Noodles soak up the flavorful broth, and enhances the flavor. Very good ramen kit. I wish it was a bit cheaper, but still worth the price for premium ramen.

Best quality instant style ramen. Closest to homemade flavors.

By far the best packaged ramen you can buy. Tastes almost just like the real Ichiran bowls! The price point is definitely high (especially for ramen), but well worth it in my opinion. I think everyone should experience this ramen at least once, if you can't make it to Japan or NYC.

It is really good but not 30$ good. Im glad to have tried it. The broth is rich and savory, the noodles are wonderful. The only thing that out me off besides the price. Is the smell and taste of fish sauce or the bonito flakes. It takes away from the aroma of pork. Again it is good and if you always wanted to try ichiran then ok.

Quick and easy prep. The noodles and soup are pure, unadulterated comfort food, even if you didn't grow up eating this sort of thing. As opposed to a typical bowl of instant ramen, which I'm sure we've all had plenty of, the feeling after finishing a bowl of Ichiran is different. The noodles are light, and strike a singular balance between firm and chewy. The broth-concentrate soup is very delicious and savory, and the prep honestly couldn't be easier. This soup is delicious. I only have two criticisms (and they're not, really). The red spice powder is undeniably pleasant and a perfect complement to the broth, but I don't know that I'd call it "hot". And the elephant in the room - you'd be forgiven for likening ten dollars per serving (that's three complete servings per box) of instant ramen to the noodle soup version of "millennial burger joint", but keep in mind that this is clearly pretty high quality, and it's also imported, and there's a global trade war going on. Even then, this is really some special stuff, and I believe it's worth the money if you can overlook the initial sticker shock.

I live in the metro area, and there are actually two Ichiran locations in New York that I’ve been to, both were consistently great. But realistically, I can’t go to the restaurant every time I’m craving ramen, so I decided to try this take-home kit. Honestly, it exceeded my expectations. The flavor is very close to what you get in-store: rich, creamy, and deeply satisfying, with that signature tonkotsu depth that’s hard to replicate. It really captures that authentic Ichiran taste, which surprised me for a packaged product. The noodles have a nice texture when cooked properly, firm with just the right chew, and they pair really well with the broth. Everything feels thoughtfully packaged, and it doesn’t come across like a generic instant ramen at all. That said, you absolutely have to follow the instructions carefully, especially when it comes to the broth. The water ratio matters more than you’d think. I learned that the hard way, added too much water the first time and ended up with a very bland, watered-down soup. Once I followed the exact measurements, the flavor came through perfectly. Overall, this is a great option if you want a convenient way to enjoy authentic ramen at home without sacrificing too much quality. Definitely recommended for anyone who loves Ichiran but can’t always make the trip into the city.

The price is eye watering, but the quality is indistinguishable, and I dare say better, than many of my local ramen houses.

This was the most delicious and unique flavored broth and noodles that I’ve ever tasted. Even when all the noodles were eaten and the cold broth sat at the bottom of the bowl I found myself drawn to continually sip the cold broth. As recommended by others. I avoided using all of the spice packet, which was a good tip, but using only half made the broth, warm and tangy.
