Japanese calling our instant ramen 'health food' is blowing my mind.
Visage it’s because it’s bare bones basic ramen with out any eggs or meat. Lol
There all made by Japanese companies - only flavorings are different - apparantly less salty.
He's just saying that the broth is clean as opposed to cloudy.
Have you guys ever went into an Asian food store and read the labels? Their ramen always has more sodium in them, which means they have way more flavour.
@@Tokio177 bro.. the eggs and meat is about as healthy as you can get. The noodles however are actually unhealthy in comparison
"This tastes almost healthy"
No american has ever heard these described as that in our lives lol
hahaha seriously!
Melissa Capaccio and not salty enough to ahhaha
try a different spicy noodles...
I was expecting them to comment on how high the sodium content was hahah so surprised
@@brooklyn-ce1px They're not as conscious about Sodium, as we are. There's an interesting video on UA-cam, about MSG and why it isn't considered harmful in Asia. The same can be said about Sodium, in a way.
26 minutes of two Japanese guys politely saying that our Ramen is trash and I agree with them
It's a reason they're called "instant" ramen noodles. They were never meant to be very flavorful and that great. At the fact that he said they don't microwave their noodles which is why our ramen is so cheap.
They liked our yakisoba, but that's it
@Frank DeFalco prison spread is tasty!
Fr tho 😂💯💯
@Frank DeFalco hell yeah a fat spread hits Everytime 👌🏼
I feel like “healthy” is a nice code word for bland. 🤣
Depends on the brand of ramen honestly
@@alexisg3104 not takin sides but whos talking shit everyone in the comment section is simply makin jokes 😂😂 you obviously need to be off the internet for a day cause your mad for no reason 💀💀💀
Jenna Spain it is because is Asia most scoops come with actual meat and eggs and stuff real veggies it’s pretty cool actually
Jenna Spain yes cause in America there is no healthy
Kenny B totally agree! The ramen we have that is made in the US doesn’t compare at all!
"What is that? Is it meat?" - A question we all learned to stop asking when we eat those.
Yeah seriously, I quit asking after the first time I ate a shrimp flavored cup noodle and saw those tiny shrimp shaped meat pieces. I was questioning everything after I saw what an actual shrimp looks like, from then on its just flavored mystery meat to me.
Hahahaha underrated comment 😂😂
😂😂🐙
I would like your comment but it’s at 420 right now
Now you can like it. It has 553 likes lol
Japanese people: America's ramen is really healthy!
Americans:
Press *X* to doubt
Can't press x, but I can give you a thumbs up
Lmao my mom would say otherwise
"Not salty enough"; meanwhile these probably have 2 times the daily recommended sodium
@@andruswj Real Japanese ramen are salty as fk boi, especially when they use miso🤣.
✖️
Love how they are so polite about American Ramen. Even though their Ramen is vastly superior then ours.
adminprime Eh I like a lot American ramen and Japanese ramen. Idk most of them taste good to me. At the same standing. Expect some ramen obviously
oversight classic smite player attitude...
adminprime not trying to be rude. But it’s kinda like a no shit Sherlock. As in it’s like comparing frozen pizza to actual pizza
They’re polite because Japanese people are the best people.
I keep seeing comments about them saying American ramen is trash and Japanese ramen is great but honestly I didnt see that at all in the video. Seemed to me they liked the american .60$ ramen which surprised me. Granted im sure its not as good as ramen from a restarant in japan but whoever thinks a .60$ ramen noodle microwavable cup is anywhere near that is dilusional. So that leaves us with comparing american instant ramen to japanese instant ramen and it sounded to me like american instant noodles were better, or atleast not horrific to their ramen experienced taste buds... and is it just them being polite? I have no idea and if so I did not pick up on it and the video is a waste of time if it does not express some level of honest review/comparison. ...just saying....
They have a very mannered way of saying they don't like it.
"It's not as salty"
I never thought I would hear the words "this instant ramen tastes healthy", lol.
Because about 5-10 years ago in America, MSG (or any kind of overly salted foods) became public enemy number 1, most instant ramens changed their recipes to include less salt.
lovethatdragon especially American ramen 🍜 I can hardly tolerate it because it’s soooooo salty 🤤
Over in Japan, Ramen soups or some here in America there are Ramen shops that have traditional recipes... The soups are really salty, but not so much where its unbearable... Its just a very full flavor that hits all your tastebuds at once. More traditional Ramen shops will have pitchers of water with spices and sauces all around the bars and tables and its because you drink a lot more water.
LMAFO!
@@reigee2869 yeaaa I usually add alot of salty items either way so 😅 livin in Louisiana it's only right to have seasoning
I like that they’re not just shitting on the inauthenticity of the cups, they’re actually approaching it with genuine curiosity and charm. Nice job, lads! 😃
Yeah, cause in Japan they eat instant noodles with the same inauthenticity
What do you mean inauthenticity of the cups? It was Mr Momofuku Ando of the Nissin Food Company in Japan who
invented first " Instant Ramen " and then later " Cup of Noodle " in the styrofoam cups.
Bill23799 It’s not a criticism I’m leveling at the cups myself, just something people will often bitch about in features like this. I’m saying I’m glad these chaps didn’t.
Why do people think that people from other cultures are pretentious and do everything in traditional style while looking down on "inauthetic foreigner garbage". It's like a weird inferiority complex and everything there is just as processed and manufactured as over here. Westerners have this delusion that everyone is this perfect Noble that eats restaurant style food only.
@@Estradial Because many do. I've met multiple people who hated on local (Seattle) noodle places and instant noodles, specifically a few Asian foreign exchange students at UW and WSU. It's even more obvious in the tea world, many people shit on teabags but then there are people like you saying "Why do you think people care?" Because we have seen them care.
Everyone being amazed of how nice they are but from living in japan I can tell you every Japanese person is so nice and polite I love japan!
I’m a person who absolutely believes pack noodles has way more flavor then them cup noodles
I think so and I prefer maruchan beef only
Stephanie honestly same
That's sooo true! I once tried the cup Shin Ramyun and it didn't taste like the original pack one at all...
Them packets pack hella flavor
I agree. I make the cup ones with my Keurig and the other in my microwave. I also like to sometimes leave the seasoning out of the packet kind and put in some butter and parmesan instead...and the kind in the big bowl are real good if you add a fried or boiled egg, some everything bagel seasoning (or togarashi works too if you have it), some hot sauce and a little bit of leftover veggies.
Not sure how these fellas ended up in my suggested videos, but I am glad. I really enjoyed watching them.
Same here. I subbed.
@@-cynicpsychic-7275 I'm thinking about sending them some barbecue sauce.
Same. I have no idea what prompted this in my suggestions. But ima ramen fan so......
Welcome to the youtube rabbit hole lol was watching a show with my daughter and she clicked this.
Same!! I was watching Live PD lol
I have no idea why UA-cam thought I should watch this. I’m glad I did. They’re so adorable.
Because these guys sharing the food was how the Corona Virus started. It's an important historical video now.
@@AdCosmo that's not funny at all
Crap Bag shut up that shit was hilarious
Aren't they??? Just silly and personable 💜💜💜
Sooopu
i love his accent it makes me happy
guy on the right: "why so much vegetables?"
story of our lives bro. Just give me a cheeseburger
the respect they put into us is the respect we should give back to them.
That;s what hit me. How much respect they are giving our trash food. When I was in Japan for a bit I was very respectful, maybe tourist, have no clue levels of respect, but I felt like it was appropriate. This video makes me think maybe I didn't go overboard.
Logan paul
@@basicroots8278 I mean, Pearl Harbor. What does Logan Paul have to do with anything? There are assholes everywhere, even in their culture. Seeing things like this should increase the respect both ways.
@@scottdunn3339 Your response to "Logan Paul" is "Pearl Harbor"?... In a thread about respect? Sick bro.
@@commodorebuttfreckle6610 It's not my fault you missed the point. I don't have any crayons available to explain it to you.
Personalities like these don’t grow on trees. You guys rock.
It shocks me that American Ramen is not salty, and is more healthy than Japanese Ramen. It blows my mind, but it is very interesting. I really wanna try Japanese Ramen now!!
You will never go back once you try some! I go to my local asian market and buy ramen! Oh em geeee it is so much better! So many more flavors and textures! 💙
Don’t do this to me please 😭😭😭
It's actually healtyer in Japan I think lol
They just don't know how much chemical American ramen is xD
It's the best.
@cringefest pls dislike
Oh god no.
Not the rust salt.
I love how objectively innocent they are, but damn..... associating the word healthy with american ramen. I can't LOL
"Thank you cup man" That's so cute.
PiinkOxygen oh yeah
I didn't even know those existed until this video. And now I want one
@@greedykibble And they change color to show it's done.

The way he says marachuan... I love his accent
"There are pieces of meat in here, like chicken, or...... something."
Cup Noodles in a nutshell
Yep, its not even real meat though
I had to ask a question on the amazon page for bowl noodles spicy ramen! It had this red and white spiral looking plastic thing in it....turns out it is supposed to be a fake crab???
I always dump that junk in the trash before cooking them lol
@@meganwoehl5277 its fish cake lol its called narutomaki
More specifically... it's "or something" :D
I love how kind and non-critical they are being about the ramen, it's such a refreshing approach!
So right. I know there's the stereotype of being polite, but the guys are even better. Kind, considerate, and always a pleasure. Guess I'm a fan! ☺️
They are so sweet. I think I love them. ❤️
I have a feeling they could eat something really bad, and they'd just say "its not for me", Ill have to watch more to see. But most Americans would be swearing, and vulgar, "i hate it!". etc... It is nice!
You folks have a lot more to learn about Japanese culture and how mannerisms are ingrained in their society. Even down to their language. In fact, that is a good place to start.
It’s a nice break to see people who can just accept some foods as different and not immediately equate “different”’ with “awful”. We watch too much Buzzfeed, I guess.😂
For me I hate a ton of salt and them saying “it’s not a lot of salt” I cried. And If you get Chow mein instant noodles or any noodles that have sauce, make sure it’s always liquid not powder. Liquid is always best. I Loved the video.
ricky Bay yakisoba is the best instant ramen out there imo
i love salt lmao
Not gonna lie. I had to pause midway through the video to go heat up some water for some instant ramen. 😂😂😂
On my way
"There are pieces of meat in here like chicken or...something."
Yeah, we don't know what it is either.
Hahaha... it's soy protein
lmao.. don't ask don't tell
New Flavor: Chicken (or something)
@@andyfloyd8583 chicken flavored chemicals
@@jefferywilliams8479 here in America we have chemical flavored chickens.
These guys enjoyed American struggle food way more than I thought they would
Nukaa Gaming Instant noodles should probably be seen as a “junk food with hot water” so a different category to your average snacks. Not really sure if it is “struggle food” personally.
@@RenyxGhoul it's definitely struggle food. The maruchan instant lunch is like $0.35 at walmart.
Renyx Ghoul & God Slayer if it wasn’t for noodles I wouldn’t even be here
Struggle food my ass..I still eat them lol
Renyx Ghoul & God Slayer I’d say that it’s definitely a struggle food. There are several broke college students who’s dinners are wholly instant ramen packets.
Man watching this in quarantine is so sad cause I can't even go to the store to go buy a ramen...😭😭

"Oh OOOHHH!"

Rei X lmao that was hilarious
microwave yakisoba is much better than the "chow mein"
In my years eating US ramen, that one has the best noodle texture of mass produced options
I swear by the yakisoba. Just had a spicy one and it was pretty good.
I always grab a couple when doing groceries, makes for a nice quick meal when i feel too lazy to cook, or when a sandwich won't cut it.
I'm sad my stores no longer have the roast chicken Yakisoba that was easily my favorite noodle product.
Coming from an american who lived in Japan for 3 years..nothing compares to Japanese Udon and Ramen. I miss it so much. Thank you for your posts because it takes me back to my fondest memories in Japan.

When the cup has 1100 mg of sodium and they say it needs more salt
1100 mg? are you sure, that's more than a kilo of sodium in a cup that doesn't weight that much.
EDIT: To you, the one who isn't going to read any more of this thread and is just going to comment on this, keep reading; note that I realized my mistake and did tell why I did it. Nothing to do with my nationality, no need for insults either. This thread really doesn't need any more late people pointing out that 1000mg=1g, nor the "serving math", really. And no, I'm not going to delete the post; I, honestly, think this was a funny mistake and have no need to hide it.

I could listen to Satoshi eat noodles and narrate my whole life. ❤️
Also Yakasoba is a whopping $.57 and one of my favorite instant ramen varieties!
"American Ramen isn't salty enough"
Japan we really need to discuss your sodium consumption...😂👏❤😂
It really isn't about the amount of salt. It's about the balance. Instant ramen tastes salty. Fresh ramen is salty, but it taste like a shaker of salt was dumped into it.
salt comsumtion really is not nearly as big of a deal as most of the public in america thinks it is. honestly, gram for gram, sugar will cause FAR more health issues.

I need a cup man
Honestly no idea how this got into my recommendations but I’m glad it did.
You know they are on a whole different level when they pulled out the "Cup Man" .
"Thank You Cup Man!! "
I love how these guys don't just ridecule the ramen. They're actually genuine and honest with the review. Most people would just make jokes on how bad they are because it's popular opinion and compare it to the BEST ramen they ever had(which obviously isn't fair because these are instant ramen) . But these noodles aren't so bad imo.
@@RamenBoi What? Shin Ramyun is like 4x the price of the cheap ones. It's not even comparable. Either way taste is very subjective when it comes to ramen. I've tried to more "high quality" brands that I hear such good things about and they end up tasting disgusting. Ive worked at a grocery store and on my break I had a go at all the ramen we had in stock. Some of the best ones come from maruchan. The shim ones were pretty gross imo.
Correction, most westerners would ridicule food because they're a bit spoiled.
Japanese instant ramen is better than our instant ramen. You can find instant ramen in the US that is similar to Japanese instant ramen, but it is much more expensive. Nissin Raoh is the best example of this. Nissin Raoh is marketed in the US as a super high-quality product. It is also way more expensive - $3 for each package. But in Japan, it would be pretty much average.
@@heinzguderian9980 Yeah it's just common sense. Imported stuff has to be marked up more. And of course it'll be better in Japan. It's a native food they'll have alot more brands. It's like saying the US has better hamburgers than Italy, Mexico has better tacos than England, India has better curry than Australia. You don't have to tell me the obvious lol I'm just saying that what we have here isn't as bad as so many people make it seem.
Yeah they were being fair, and comparing them to the instant noodles available in Japan. You notice they even liked most of them. There were only a couple that they didn't seem to like much. The take away from this is that Japanese instant noodles have more salt, and bolder flavors than the ones from America. The ones available in the US are a bit lighter style of soups.The others in the comments saying that is "better"....well that's an opinion. Sometimes you can be in the mood for something lighter. Sometimes you can be in the mood for something bolder.
The guy on the left just telling stories and stirring the noodles around all leisurely-like, the guy in the right like “TRY TRY TRY”
😂😂😂
When guys are this polite and nice, you DON'T want to make them mad, trust me.
I live in a small midwest town. My kids and I discovered the Asian markets have all kinds of ramen we've never seen. We're trying them all while sheltering at home. Our usual American grocery store is sold out of ramen so it's been fun to find new varieties.
When they pulled out the chedder cheese ramen and got excited, i knew right away they were gonna be dissapointed
It's so bad!🤣
Same! Lol
Yep. Those are the worst. So bland.
I liked them as a kid but now that I’ve grown up it’s ass😂
I know right 🤣 I was like welp, they’re in for an unpleasant surprise.
Watching people eat noodles with chopsticks is kinda satisfying
Clarks Kent’s Although if I slurped like this (as proper as it is to do so in Japan) my wife would slap me.
I'm black and that's the only way I will eat ramen noodles.💯😂
Clarks Kent’s lmao fr
Clarks Kent’s once you learn how to eat noodles with chopsticks its also very satisfying
Chocolate milk song
The noodles in a pack or bowl type packaging, I always add stuff to it. Meat, veggies or whatever you want. For instance the beef or chicken flavors, I actually put real beef or chicken. Mushroom, cheddar, spinach or broccoli. And fried onions, or instead of fried onions you can top it with diced green onion and/or chives.
I usually add an egg.
Just found your channel. My grandmother was from Japan. And my husband and I lived there in 2013. I miss it SO MUCH. Can’t wait to subscribe and binge your channel!!!
The Japanese method of social interactions feels so respectful. I enjoy being exposed to their mannerisms and gesturing. Also the rhythm of speaking is soothing.
Most definitely (:
the world needs a healthy does of that respectfulness and that is coming from an American. Love the Japanese people for this and many other reason's , lesson's to be learned.

"Needs more salt"
Worry intensifies
Like do Japanese people have some superpower where salt doesn't effect them like us mortals?
It all just goes into the water
😂😂😂🤣😂🤣😭😭😭
David Lauritzen 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂hahaha your comment is GOLD!
I wouldn't be surprised ramen sold in the States is less salty than Japanese. Americans think that we eat too much salt in our diets, so we reduce it wherever we think we can get away with it.
Awesome video!!! Love seeing our “Japanese” food reviewers from an authentic Perspective
I love how excited they are it makes me happy
LMAO "cup man" they have a tool devoted to holding the lid down while the noodles cook.
Gloomsoul I wish I had one because I have a problem with the noodles not being soft enough but the lid won’t stay down. So what I do is I put a bowl with a spoon or fork or something to keep it on so the steam stay in
Shadowidk never had a problem laying the fork over the lid 🤷🏻♂️ but get packaged ramen instead of cup ramen for better texture
I want a cup man so bad!! Haha I eat alot of Ramen noodles!! Definitely good for on the go!! Lol
I think you can buy cup man from amazon :)
I brought all of mine from Japan after I moved back to the states
Holy shit if "our" instant noodles are less salty how salty are the Japanese ones 😮 I find those already pretty salty.
Hell Crow the difference is ours tend not to have msg which theirs do which makes the flavors more intense
They are just talking about the nissin brand specifically and it's because they company brands it that way by adding vegetables which is not what ramen is about in Japan. All veggies is impossible to create Umami almost.
Jake Elliott USA noodles do have msg lol. And he was saying Japanese ramen taste stronger in flavor like more rich and unami. Where American crap is watery and salty. That's why USA brands don't sell in my country..they're gross lol
The cup noodles are weaker in flavor than the packets. Also most people I know drain more water when making theirs, essentially making it more salty like they were saying
It's okay to be white I think I agree whenever I make noodles from us the noodles have a pure shit texture they go too soft and just fall apart I like a bit of firmness to them
I love you two and your responses to different foods!!
I love when he said " Or something " talking about what may or not been piece of meat. Lol
Wow, that's so crazy how noodles are that much more salty in Japan, in America we view our instant noodles as being extremely high sodium foods. So fascinating!
Probably has a lot to do with the fact that they chose the most mild flavors possible.
Well its also the sodium implementation. Fresh salt woukd be hella salty but the instant stuff salt loses its punch, so this could 10x more saltier then they like but doesnt taste as so
@@dannyoftea9531 lmfao what
@Black.Flaps .Dont.Match are you insinuating that fresh salt is not in fact more or less water soluble than the packaged aged salt in an instant ramen pack, because if you were you are wrong as fuck too.
@@dannyoftea9531 when you think you know what your talking about lmao oof
The guys enjoying our food for when we broke is mind blowing
JJ Gamingz thats why japanese peopel eat ramen to wym , doesnt cost that much
I mean, instant ramen TASTES good, it's just less healthy than eating your pocket lint or nothing at all.
It would blow your mind how cheap their food is. My brother lives in Taiwan and he brags all the time about the cheap food. And I mean *GOOD* food is cheap there.
Just saw you guys for the first time and really enjoyed your commentary and enthusiasm
This is by far my favorite suggested video, SUBSCRIBED, also y'all are adorable.
I like the way the guy with the glasses is always eyeballing the other guy when he's eating waiting for that snack to come back!!! He wants them snacks!!!
1: Maruchan Spicy Chicken Yakisoba is the best!!!
2: Didn't know I needed a "cupman" until this vid Lol
Hey so this is random but. Is it normal that i overcook instant noodles. 👀 and not 3 minutes.

I am so happy this was recommended, I love ramen
"Its less salty"
Me:
*coughs in high cholesterol*
Those comments about the salt blew me away too. Just how salty are the Japanese noodles lol.
Check the packaging. All the options they tried today are freeze dried, and thus lower in cholesterol. The square noodle bricks that need to be boiled are fried in oil, which is where you are getting the high cholesterol.
@@toadjones79
Yes! My husband and I were just talking about that while watching this video. The teriyaki noodles were quite salty though too. I am a salt person and I have the teriyaki ones here now. I eat them once in a while and I love how salty they are with a touch of sweetness. Lol!
I think it's the brothy and authenticity of Japanese noodles that make it taste richer not so much saltier, most people (Americans) I know dont even like broth in their ramen just the noodles lol.
@@toadjones79 There is no cholesterol in cooking oil, only animal products. Instant ramen has little to no cholesterol and doesn't have anything to do with freeze drying. Fat and cholesterol are not synonymous.
I love how they call it healthy here in America we call these heart attack in a cup lol
They arnt that bad usually each thing is 2 servings and most people eat all of it. Lots of sodium though
NotAsian they should be half a serving each lmao
To be fair we eat it with a coke and probably had a McDonald’s breakfast and all that. I think these are viewed as “fuck it let’s eat a trashy snack” in Japan.

Are u one of those ppl who subscribes to a channel because you like ONE video. If you truly support them it's because you actually follow them religiously.
I've always preferred to not make soup when i use the packets. I drain the water and THEN add the seasoning so i have very flavorful noodles.
anonyslime,
I add veggies and meat or poultry before heating , drain and add half seasoning. Sometimes cheese. Throw on a bed of lettuce.
Ys,’mwrd.
You heathen. -_-
yes i think its the only way ramen should be eaten too xd
anonyslime - I said EXACTLY the same thing before I read your comment. Since junior high I’ve been draining almost all water and adding just enough packet seasoning. Great minds!
I always felt like adding the flavor packets when the soup is drowning in water from boiling that the soup overall has such a watered down (pardon the pun) flavor and makes the soup not particularly good. I need at least THREE packets of flavor if I have to eat it that way. Otherwise drain 3/4ths of water THEN add packet :D
Why do I love watching these kinda videos????
I really, really enjoyed this video. Great fun!
When he said he was excited about the cheddar cheese ramen I was thinking prepare to be disappointed. I was not wrong
Not gonna lie that stuff was nasty
😂😭😂
Actually, try the Balduk cheese noodles. Those are a little thicker (they're a package, so it's stovetop) and they're spicy as well. It's really good.
Knew that one was gonna be trash 🤣🤣
You guys are the cutest. Shin's little moustache and how Satoshi speaks English very intelligibly but also with very Japanese inflection.
I'm glad I found this youtube channel! Its just fun! - and they are really cute :-)
i like their accents compared to those thick austrian ones that are hard to listen to x.x
Are they together?
I have rewatched this 3 times now
I still can't get over how adorable their logo is
"I wonder how they got it to be sour?"
America: "Chemicals, baby! It's all about the chemicals!"
saralynn518 I wanna like but it’s at 69
@@hotmomc1665 I'd rather have the real thing. That's funny tho! Thank you!
Ummm... everything is made of chemicals, even you.
@@phydeux This is true. However, I was making a joke :) Artificial flavoring (even non artificial compounds) is a science.
@@saralynn518 The natural & artificial labels aren't that reliable, they don't reflect the truth well enough.
The classifications are inconsistent and are too vague.
I love the culture... they’re such kind, respectful ppl !!?
It’s lighter .. ‘healthy.. noodles’ 🤔
Which means... flavorless basically 😆🤷♂️
Thought the same thing! So polite while eating junk food.
I don't care what they say, i love maruchan
@@evilpimp2475 I do too, but I do agree with them base ramen im America needs a bit more flavor, I usually put more chicken stock or curry in my ramen
Which is really surprising cause when you think 'America' you generally think massively over-flavored food. But I think the fact they chose the soy sauce flavored and the veggie ramen kind of set them up with that expectation tbh, those two are some of my favorite and I get them all the time but they aren't the kind most americans eat.
I love your enthusiasm!
Love all your videos!!!
I’m disappointed they didn’t have any of the Chile y Limón ones.
The Spicy Hot lime and shrimp one is my favorite
@@M1N1Girl007 I like that flavor but with chicken. That chile lime mix they use is fire
ooooo i used to love those omg
Those are Mexican flavored noodles
Bong Rips Then why can I get them anywhere in stores?
We need to discuss Japan’s salt content 😂
For real.. I thought all that stuff is over-salted but apparently he's under salted?..lol .. it's like already 30% salt
RedAlexios They need 50%!😂
I hope they drink more water to compensate lol, I always thought that instant ramen was already super salty.
Msg
It is more salty, but it’s much more flavorful compared to Maruchans noodles. Maruchans noodles don’t have that much seasoning and is just super salty🤢
This is the wholesome content I needed
That's look appetising thanks you guys so much
Japanese: “Again, there’s like less salt, I get so little salt”
Me: *coughs up salty flavor packet that came with ramen*
M_Lynx VA put half of the packet in bowl 🍲 I never
It doesn’t bother me that much but I can’t imagine putting Japanese ramen in my mouth now
It's hilarious when you consider that most instant ramen packets contain like 90% of your daily recommended allowance of sodium.
ikr, they put enough salt in those packets to cure meat
@@natashamatticks1525 Japanese ramen is 1000% better lol.
Maruchan makes 2 kinds of noodles. "College budget" and "I'm used to it now so I can splurge college budget". The Yakisoba is the latter of the 2 and they're pretty good all things considered.
Mungo Lockhart yes
hey now yo umissed the whole other aspect of instant ramen like this it is POOR PEOPLE FOOD lol
@@deathlyrose8046 we are Americans we all are poor or lazy
@@Kirtoisplayz true though in my own case just poor due to bad health i had no control over namely i have Multiple sclerosis so all of my money goes to medication sadly instead of food because lets face it food is better lol
@@deathlyrose8046 damn really I hope that you health stays in good condition 🙏🙏🙏
I am american and it was very interesting hearing your thoughts on our noodles! I am surprised that you consider the very veggie style as health food haha. That is one of my favorite American style instant ramen! I love that you're going into detail about these soups rather than just saying its good or bad. Good video.
I’m eating ramen while watching a vid about ramen. Noice
You guys are so sweet, saying kind things about our crappy version of Ramen! 💕
They're not even American companies. Nissin's Top Ramen is the original instant ramen, invented in Japan
@@KaitouKaiju Guess they're just _formulated_ for the American market.
We like lots of sodium.
Some American brands are good. Cheaper brands obviously aren't gonna be as good.
kimberly s Japanese ramen is more sodium heavy.
@@kimberlys8422 you got it backwards. Americans dont use as much sadium or spices in general
the dude with the glasses has an amazing voice
I want him to do a motivational speaking thing I can use on the treadmill lol
Yes i love his voice
He would be an awesome anime voice actor!
Cute too!!
Shininji spent time in the States which is why his English sounds like an American. Satoshi doesn't sound like he had spent anytime in the States, he sounds like native Japanese who learned English as a second language.
I enjoyed watching this and have been trying different kinds in the past few months. I thought it was funny, I currently have every kind they tried in my pantry.
I feel like a peasant for not even knowing there was something like Cup Man around.
