A Strange Request (relating to Cup Ramen)

[Kamica]

I am trying to find the name of the Cup Ramen that I often ate in Japan. Here is what I know:

-I think it is a form of miso ramen because it has the brown coloring that is usual.
-The taste of it is spicy hot
-The cup design is decorated with flames to indicate the spiciness (this design is what intrigued me enough to buy it in the first place).
-I always bought it at one certain convenience store. Sadly, I did not see this product at some of the other convenience stores that I went to.

I would be satisfied by either finding out the name of this product or by seeing a picture.



Spicy Ramen = The taste of the angels

Welcome to TJP forum.

Let me ask some questions.

1) When did you live in Japan?
2) Do you remember the convenience store's name?
(e.g. ローソン、セブンイ-レブン、ファミリーマート．etc..)
3) Did the package have a picture of red chili pepper?
4) Did it have とうがらし or げきから related name?

Hello Coco. I lived in Japan one year ago. The convenience store was by the train station in Noda city (Chiba prefecture). I remember that is was not 7/11. If I had to guess, the name would be family mart though I am in no way certain. As for the chili pepper or the writing on the package, I can't remember any details. If I saw a picture, I am certain that I would recognize it at once.

I could theoretically ask my old host family. But the question would seem a bit odd. I suppose it is a last resort option for me.

This doesn't look like it, but I would need to see the front of the label to be certain. The exact brand doesn't matter too much. I just wanted spicy miso ramen. What does the kanji in the name of that ramen say?

Thanks though, for going out of your way for me. I truly appreciate it.

Sorry, the link I showed seemed to be broken.
I think that was とんがらし麺　味噌チゲ　or　海鮮チゲ．
As for spicy miso ramen,　たんたんめん is popular. Some companies are producing it and this has a flame in its package.

According to Google map, ミニストップ(Mini stop) looks the nearest convenience store to Noda-shi station. If so, this one is store- limited Ramen, but it doesn't have a flame design.

I hope you'll find nice spicy miso Ramen.

'Scuse me for protrudin', as the Kingfish would say, but did you live in Japan or did you visit for a week or so?

Mini-stop was the name of the convenience store! I am sure of it.

You are awesome dude. Thanks a ton for everything.

MikeCash: I lived in Japan for 5 weeks and 2 days with a host family. They spoke to me in English only though and I didn't learn very much Japanese. I have started to do serious studying now.

Looks like I have several options for spicy ramen. I will look for em when I return to Japan.

Whether it was a week or a decade, I doubt she was dead while she was here.

Coco's a dudette.

Don't be a tool. The question wasn't "were you alive in Japan" it was "Did you live in Japan".

Jeez.

I refer you to the first line of your sig.

I love the word tool.

I love the word tool.

The Foreign Names thread has gone done the same route, pun intended.
