Well, here we go. In my group Ramen Junkies, Shin reigns supreme. Just a post someone did showing this pack had over a hundred comments real fast. Of course, I’m curious about this one – there’s also a mushroom tofu Shin Green to try as well.
I was fortunate to get invited to visit the Nongshim America factory in Rancho Cucamonga in 2012 – that was something special. You want to talk spotless – and I mean spotless, this is the place to check out. Not only that, they were all really nice folks. I spent some time in their R&D and sampled some things not yet on the market – that was awesome. Sadly, my favorite never made it to prime time. Many products get envisioned and tested, but things like sourcing and per unit cost can eventually cause them to not be produced. Just because your favorite product isn’t available doesn’t mean it was unpopular; it could just be a key ingredient is now unsourceable from a supplier.
