One of the reasons I love visiting Kaldi Coffee Farm regularly is that they always have fun, new, internationally-inspired products. These cup noodles were a new (to me!) addition to their shelves, and they're inspired by Korean Yukgaejang noodles -- a type of spicy beef soup. The noodles themselves have a flatter texture to them which I really loved, and the soupy broth has flavors of meat, soy sauce, garlic, and gochujang -- it's a really delicious and well-rounded taste. Overall if you like beefy/meaty flavored noodles and don't mind a little spice (it's not overwhelming!) then you'll probably enjoy these.

I would say that these are a bit pricier than your average cup noodle at 226 yen including tax. If you're just looking for the best value for money from your cup noodle product, then there are definitely other options out there that are more cost-effective. That aside though, I loved the flavor of these and the texture of the noodles. For a cup noodle product it did feel a bit more upmarket than some other ones I've tried. If it does sound good to you, keep an eye out for it at your nearest Kaldi Coffee Farm store -- happy eating!
