I got this ramen kit from Japanese soba noodles tsuta. It was expensive, it was almost AU$45 for a box with 3 portions and I had to make the toppings myself obviously (sous vide duck breast and aus wagyu ribeye cap steak). Honestly, if I received this bowl in a restaurant, I would be happy.
I followed the recipe in the package with a precision scale and timer. This soup was so good. It was rich in chicken flavor, and had a slight hint of truffle aroma, it was honestly better than most of the ramens I've had in Australia.
If I had to be picky, I would say that I would like more intensity, more saltiness, more body, more aroma oil and having the noodles more chewy. Maybe if I decrease the amount of water, and cook the noodles for less than the package tells and add a little bit of chicken fat mixed with a drop of truffle oil(like the original in Japan), it would be perfect.

this is gorgeous! i would rather die than spend this much money lmao but i love that you did, and shared this experience with us, and i sincerely hope it was good.
Where did you get this from? (Sydneysider)
For three portions that is a lot of money – as much per portion as what I would pay at a nice ramen restaurant in Korea and Japan.
As for the noodle consistency and flavor, using less water and reducing the cooking time is definitely the way to go.
