We tried the revived 'Ippei-chan Night Market Yakisoba with Kabayaki Sauce Flavor,' which won first place in the 'Ippei-chan Revival Election'

Myojo Foods' popular cup noodle 'Ippei-chan' also offers some challenging new flavors, such as '

Shortcake Flavor .' In the ' Ippei-chan Revival General Election ,' where participants voted to see which challenging past menu items they wanted to see brought back, the most popular item was ' Ippei-chan Night Market Yakisoba Kabayaki Sauce Flavor ,' which will be revived and released on October 20, 2025. I received a bottle of Ippei-chan Night Market Yakisoba Kabayaki Sauce Flavor early, so I tried it right away.

The following box arrived at the GIGAZINE editorial department.

The box was like a tiered box and contained two servings of Ippei-chan Night Market Yakisoba with Kabayaki Sauce Flavor.

This is the packaging for Ippei-chan Night Market's Yakisoba with Kabayaki Sauce. It was revived after nine years, after winning first place in the 'General Election for the Revival of Ippei-chan's Strong Flavor.'

Looking at the ingredients, the sauce contains eel extract. The content is 119g (90g noodles).

Ippei-chan Night Market's Yakisoba with Kabayaki Sauce Flavor has 526 kcal per serving.

After removing the packaging, open the lid halfway and remove the sauce, furikake, and mayonnaise.

Add hot water up to the inside line.

After closing the lid, wait 3 minutes.

After 3 minutes, remove the draining lid and drain the water thoroughly.

Remove the lid, pour in the liquid sauce and mix well. At this point, a fragrant smell like grilled eel will begin to waft through the air.

The dish is completed by topping it with mayonnaise and furikake seasoning. The furikake seasoning contains Japanese pepper, which goes perfectly with eel, and gives off a spicy aroma.

With one bite, the sweet kabayaki sauce pairs well with the thin noodles, and the sauce isn't too heavy, so you'll find yourself eating it in no time. As you continue to eat, you'll notice not only the kabayaki sauce, but also a subtle fragrant flavor reminiscent of charred eel. The toppings, which contain sansho pepper and the special mayonnaise with wasabi, are also key ingredients, adding a nice accent to the overall sweet flavor, which is a bit odd for yakisoba. It's not just 'kabayaki sauce flavor,' but a unique yakisoba with a well-rounded flavor that some people may find addictive.

Ippei-chan Night Shop's Yakisoba Kabayaki Sauce Flavor is scheduled to be released on October 20, 2025, with a suggested retail price of 236 yen excluding tax. On Amazon.co.jp, you can pre-order a pack of 12 for 3,059 yen including tax (255 yen per pack).
