This Sapporo Ichiban Chicken Ramen has a flavor and smell that is similar to Maruchan Chicken ramen. It features a strong onion powder flavor and it’s quite salty.
Produced in the United States. Distributed by Japan.
The noodles are wavy and have a decent texture, though they are fairly standard for an instant variety. Overall, it’s a solid, classic chicken-flavored instant noodle experience.
To level up this bowl, adding a variety of vegetables like napa cabbage or spinach would be a great way to introduce some sweetness and balance out the saltiness. I would also add some rotisserie chicken to complement the existing chicken flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
For the spice level, my friend James, who taste tests the ramens with me, gives his rating out of 5 based on his experience with the heat. My own spice tolerance tends to be higher than most, so James’s rating gives a more general sense of the spiciness. Keep in mind that spice is still subjective, so what’s mild for him might be spicy for you, and vice versa!
That’s how thick or thin the broth is. A 1/5 would be very watery, while a 5/5 would be super thick and almost syrupy.
This is just a general gauge of how thick the noodles are compared to other instant ramen noodles I’ve tried. A 1/5 would be very thin, like vermicelli, and a 5/5 would be very thick and wide.
Here, I’m just describing the style or texture of the noodles, like “udon-like” for a chewy and thick noodle, or “thin and curly” for a more classic instant ramen style.
