Reviewing Cup Noodles Kyoto Tori Paitan Flavour Sold in Hong Kong! Tasting the Fragrant and Creamy Soup

The period before the rainy season makes it easy to feel under the weather due to temperature fluctuations.
On days when you feel a little tired, you start craving chicken paitan, which packs the delicious flavor of chicken.
It would be wonderful if you could easily eat a rich yet gentle soup at home.
Surprisingly, Nissin Hong Kong has released Cup Noodles Kyoto Tori Paitan Flavour (taiwanese notation: 合味道京都鶏白湯味).
Let’s review how it tastes!

Discovered in Hong Kong! Reviewing Nissin Cup Noodles “Kyoto Tori Paitan Flavour”!
Rich Chicken PaitanSaiga NAK

On the cream-yellow package, which brings to mind the rich soup of chicken paitan, the words “こってり鶏白湯” (“Kotteri Tori Paitan,” meaning “rich chicken paitan soup”) are written in Japanese.
It makes you instinctively think it is a Japanese product, but it is a genuine Hong Kong cup noodle.

Discovered the word “Kyoto,” which is famous for chicken paitan ramen!
It seems like you can enjoy that rich flavor.

RICH TORI PAITANSaiga NAK

On the opposite side, it says “RICH TORI PAITAN.”
You can feel their commitment from the fact that it says “Tori” instead of “Chicken.”

Creamy ScentSaiga NAK

When you open it, the creamy scent unique to chicken paitan spreads out.

Taste Testing!Saiga NAK

The soup, where the well-rounded umami and sweetness unique to chicken paitan melt in, clings well to the noodles and is delicious.
The chicken included as an ingredient also added a change to the texture, so I didn’t get tired of eating it!
Because it has a fairly creamy flavor, I think items for a flavor change like vinegar, lemon juice, Tabasco if you like spicy food, or grated garlic if you want a punch would go well with it!
