My friend brought me this from Japan and it was the best ramen I’ve ever tasted. Where do I get it?


I know it's called Ichiran, I'm having a hard time finding the exact package online. I found the exact package from a weird website but it's like $50 lol. Also found a 3 pack for $30 but can't justify buying that. Anyone know where I can buy?

    You go back to Japan. It’s an import product. It’s not going to be cheap anywhere outside of Japan

  3. shrimpgangsta

    $50 outside of Japan sounds about right. Its much cheaper in Japan

    Found on [Wafuu](https://wafuu.com/en-us/products/japanese-populer-ramen-ichiran-instant-noodles-5-meals-curly-noodles?variant=42823327744163&utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=English&utm_content=Japanese+populer+Ramen+%22ICHIRAN%22+instant+noodles+5+meals+Curly+Noodles&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22840129802&gclid=CjwKCAiAlrXJBhBAEiwA-5pgwp1Xc5ODhyNI3tcWd-cLAv-GFIv8BJhRh5MlZDBFUA-Qsb2M-qmUqRoCPI8QAvD_BwE) otherwise it’s going to be expensive everywhere. If there are other things you want, put a list together and get a proxy shipper to pick things up and ship them to you.

    You can import them for a pretty price or find them in local japan stores if your city offers any. Apart from that your out of luck. Definitely worth the price if you dont eat instant ramen too often

    I’m assuming Japan. I really am sorry for being a smart ass, I just can’t help myself.

    Available at your nearest Ichiran. While you are there, stop for a fresh bowl of ramen in a booth.

    Just don’t post that photo here in this subreddit /s

    That’s the going rate outside of Japan at any Japanese or Asian store that carries this imported Ichiran. If you’re not willing to pay that price, then this ramen is just too rich for you. There’s physical locations in New York City, or if you’re in Southern California, then go to Tokyo central supermarkets.

    I found it in a gift shop at the airport in Tokyo. Sorry, I can’t remember which one.

    Pretty sure you heard this already, but seriously google Asian grocery store. There is one about 45 minutes away and I tried some of my favorite noodles there. Only can find it there. I definitely stock up when I’m there. Only go about once a year. So many other snacks and drinks I bought thought I could only get through Tokyo treat. Hopefully you can find a good grocery store nearby.

    If you live by a T&T they sell them there. Not cheap. I think it’s like $50 for a 5-pack or something?

    ive had Ichiran in NYC…its pretty good, i like the atomosphere, “no tipping” signs around, and you get a cubicle with a window…you literally never interact with the server aside from them sliding the blind up. and sliding you your bowl.

    Op, you can buy packs of 5 servings on Amazon, it’s cheaper than the 3 serving packs

  18. Anne_Chovies

    By the packaging I’d guess Elm Street.

  19. SnackaDuck

    Try a large Asian grocery store; the T&T near me in the PNW had a bundle going for 30

  20. mrchowmein

    These can be found in many Japanese or Asian markets. Also found on the online Asian grocery store sayeee. Or if you want to make the trek, just go to one of the Ichiran restaurants in the US

  23. specqq

    Why is no one talking about how the OP apparently opens their ramen packets by cutting them in half?

  24. dawonga

    Way too pricey. Look around for some locally made frozen.

  25. caca-casa

    The Ichiran website or one of their locations depending on where you live. Here in NYC we have a couple locations.

  26. shinyname

    5 pack for $35 from the tiktok shop on sale right is probably as cheap as you’re going to get. it’s actually being sold by weee which is a legit asian food importer.

  27. dannyleemg

    I have an Ebisu Asian Life store near me in North Florida that sells it in a box set with two servings for $12. Ebisu is awesome. I know there’s one in Philly too. Look it up to see if you have one and don’t listen to all the others, you could def buy it here in the states

  28. ksoops

    They have it on say weee.

    Also used to think it was the best “instant ramen” until I discovered sun noodles. The are fresh noodles though, does that count as instant?

  29. _mantaXray_

    If you live in NYC they’re available in person or via ubereats from your local Ichiran

  30. iamdan78

    If you’re near NYC there is a restaurant there as well.
