Marutai Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen

This is a next-level tonkotsu (pork bone) ramen. The broth is thick, creamy, and super porky, just like what you’d get in a ramen shop. Plus, the noodles are straight-style like real Hakata ramen, so they don’t get soggy.

Sapporo Ichiban Miso Ramen

Miso-based broths are usually tricky in instant ramen, but Sapporo Ichiban gets it right. The broth is deep, slightly sweet, and full of miso goodness. It’s a perfect dupe for real Hokkaido-style miso ramen.

Samyang Ramen

Samyang is mostly famous for their killer spicy ramen, but their original (blue package) non-spicy ramen is actually insanely good and underrated. The broth is clean yet deeply umami, and the noodles are thick and chewy, almost like handmade ones.
