I tried 'Nissin Donbei Sapporo Soup Curry Udon/Ryukyu Soba,' a Nissin Donbei version of Hokkaido and Okinawa's specialty dishes.
From Nissin's instant noodle 'Nissin Donbei' series, ' Nissin Donbei Sapporo Soup Curry Udon', an arrangement of Sapporo's local gourmet 'soup curry', which is always ranked high in the ranking of popular tourist destinations, was released on Monday, April 28, 2025. 'Nissin Donbei Ryukyu Soba ' , an arrangement of Okinawa's local gourmet 'Okinawa soba', which is also a popular travel destination, will also be re-released on the same day, so I actually tried both.

I bought 'Nissin Donbei Sapporo Soup Curry Udon'. On the lid, there is a statue of Dr. Clark , the former Hokkaido Government Office building , and the Sapporo Clock Tower .
The ingredients are as follows. The toppings are seasoned fried tofu, corn, and green beans.
Calories per cup: 383kcal.
When I opened the lid, there were seasoned fried tofu on top of the dried noodles, as well as toppings and powdered soup.
Pour the toppings and powdered soup over the noodles, pour in boiling water and wait 5 minutes.
Finished. The aroma of spices wafts through the air.
Being a soup curry, the soup is lighter than regular curry udon. I could see herbs and sesame seeds floating on the surface. When I sipped the soup, the complex aroma of spices spread in my mouth, and after a short delay, the spiciness gradually hits. It's a gentle spiciness that warms the body, but it's still quite spicy, and while it does quite well recreate the taste of soup curry, you can also taste the subtle, gentle flavor of the dashi stock underneath.
The noodles are the usual Donbei udon. Compared to the light and spicy soup curry, the noodles are a little soft and unsatisfying. An editorial staff member who is an expert on curry commented, 'I think the soup curry is quite accurate, but if it's a solid soup curry, I would have liked more volume in the ingredients and noodles.'
Next, I will try 'Nissin Donbei Ryukyu Soba'.
The ingredients are as follows.
The calorie content was 348 kcal per cup.
When I opened the lid, there was kamaboko on top of the noodles, as well as pickled ginger, toppings, and powdered soup.
Pour the toppings and powdered soup over the noodles, pour in boiling water and wait 5 minutes.
When the time is up, mix lightly and place the pickled ginger on top of the noodles.
This is it. The strong aroma of the bonito stock will whet your appetite.
When you try the soup, you can really taste the umami of the dashi. The gentle pork bone flavor and the aroma of the bonito dashi are combined with the umami of the kelp dashi and the sourness of the pickled ginger that was added just before the soup is finished, creating a flavor that is typical of Okinawa soba.
The noodles are the usual Donbei udon. The soup is based on dashi, which has a very strong Japanese taste, so it goes perfectly with the noodles. The char siu-like soy protein processed toppings give it
