Often, you already know what you’re getting with noodle makers Nissin. Even once they come out with new merchandise just like the Excessive Protein Professional udon, what you’re getting is printed proper there on the label.
▼ 高たんぱく = Excessive Protein
▼ The newly launched Tokujo Cup Noodle is equally comprehensible, with tokujo that means “high-grade” or “particular”, suggesting higher-quality elements are within the combine.
Nevertheless, Nissin’s newest merchandise had our reporter P.Ok. Sanjun feeling sullen. There have been no hints to counsel what they have been about apart from the phrase “Gaming“.
▼ P.Ok., who prefers to have issues spelled out for him.
Did “Gaming” imply these new merchandise would style like video video games? For somebody who likes to know what he’s entering into when he tries a brand new product, P.Ok. felt befuddled. There was just one method to resolve what a “Gaming” meals may style like on this state of affairs, and that was by attempting them.
Peering carefully on the label of each new merchandise, they appeared to include caffeine, arginine, and niacin, which sounded extra like elements you’d discover in a line of power drinks relatively than prompt meals. At the very least P.Ok. now had some thought of what they contained, however he couldn’t assist however assume this didn’t sound like a very scrumptious mixture. Whereas the thought of “video games, power and Cup Noodles” was beginning to make sense, P.Ok. nonetheless couldn’t fairly familiarize yourself with it.
Visiting the official web site for extra info, he learn this:
“The strongest ‘buff meshi’!? Yakisoba and curry with out soup, so that you don’t have to fret about getting your palms or peripherals soiled, and it’s good for a meal in between taking part in video games. Cup noodles and curry are a must-try for avid gamers.”
So, in brief, the Nissin Gaming Cup Noodle was a brand new kind of yakisoba and there was a Gaming Curry Meshi (“curry meal”) as effectively, with precedence given to rising avid gamers’ power ranges whereas decreasing liquid ranges to maintain gaming tools clear.

P.Ok. couldn’t assist however assume there was already a product like this in the marketplace — the U.F.O yakisoba (pictured beneath), which must be drained of all liquid earlier than being eaten.
Pushing his love for the U.F.O apart, P.Ok. determined to withhold judgment till he’d tasted the meals that was marketed for avid gamers, beginning with…
▼ …The Gaming Cup Noodle.
This Cup Noodle, or extra precisely, Cup Yakisoba, incorporates a soy sauce-based sauce with a robust garlic style. Taking a couple of slurps of the noodles, this was a great, dependable instance of yakisoba. Not precisely wonderful, however a steady model nonetheless.
These have been lighter in color in comparison with what yakisoba often seems to be like, however this hue gave it extra of a Cup Noodle look.
Subsequent up, P.Ok. poured boiling water over the moment curry and waited the required 5 minutes for it to be prepared. It definitely wasn’t with out sauce, however it didn’t slosh about within the cup like soup, so if he have been in the course of a very difficult second in a recreation he wouldn’t have to fret a lot about potential spillages. As for the style, it was gentle on spice but extra flavourful than the yakisoba, with a robust ginger kick that P.Ok. actually loved.
Whereas each of those prompt meals met the excessive requirements P.Ok. has come to anticipate from Nissin when it comes to style and comfort, if he’s being sincere he wasn’t notably gained over by the “Gaming” side of issues.
Admittedly, P.Ok. isn’t a fan of fancy advertising on the subject of meals, and he wasn’t taking part in video games whereas consuming them both so we’ll must take his assessment with a recreation of salt. In case you’d wish to strive them for your self, they’ll be on retailer cabinets nationwide from 18 September.
