What is Noppin Ramen?

Carefully selected noodles and freshly ground sesame!

Noodles are made mainly from wheat flour and water, but the amount of protein and ash varies depending on the type of flour. This has a big impact on gluten formation, so choosing the right flour is important.

From the selection of flour, to the number of times it is rolled to ensure a good chew, to the thickness and shape of the noodles, and even the water content, all of this has been carefully considered to match the sesame soup.

The sesame, which is the main ingredient of the ramen, is prepared fresh in the shop every day, giving it a distinctive flavor that is exquisite. Please enjoy the harmony of the noodles and sesame.

Noppin Ramen is also concerned about your health!

While the recommended daily salt intake is 6.5-7.5g, it is said that the average person consumes around 11g. The average for ramen is 5-8g, with some places consuming as much as 10g. Noppin Ramen aims to reduce salt content to 3.7g even if you drink the entire bowl, so that you can enjoy three delicious meals a day while still getting the right amount of salt. They also use vegetable oils to ensure health.

This Super Noppin ramen contains about 6,000 sesame seeds, twice as much as regular ramen, and the homemade chili oil brings out the sesame seeds, making it a satisfying bowl no matter what time of day it is.

Sesame seeds are prepared in-house every day, so the freshly ground sesame flavor is second to none.
