The description
This product is a chili oil flavored cup soba, and they are available from Lawson's store brand. It's priced at 198 yen (including tax) and I'm unsure if it's permanent or limited-time.
The good
This is nice if you're looking for something a bit different from your usual cup noodle product, since it features soba for the noodles of choice. While there is a noticeable amount of chili oil, it actually feels surprisingly light when you're eating it. The portion amount is generous, and if you like simplicity in your toppings then you'll probably like this, too -- it only has green onions as a topping, so quite basic, but it works. The price is pretty budget friendly, too, coming in at under 200 yen including tax.
The not so good
If you're not a fan of spice I wouldn't recommend this to you -- it's definitely not an unmanageable amount of spice, but there's still a noticeable kick in my opinion. Overall though, I really liked this! I thought it was fun to have something different noodle-wise (it's not very often at all that I see soba-based cup noodle products), and the flavor is really good -- hearty and warming, but still light and fresh feeling if that makes sense. Keep an eye out for these at your nearest Lawson if they sound appealing to you. Happy eating!
