Been saying Korean shin ramen is better and spicier for all those unfortunate people who would listen and they’d just brush it off as Korean person just being weirdly patriotic about ramen. Cant have a taste test when both came out looking so different. 😩

Korean shin came out much darker. Ingredients wise, Much higher in calcium. Lower calorie. Different noodle.
Unfortunately color really can affect results of taste tests so we were unable to make a call on anything.
Made both at the same time with same about of water and no additions.
Same thing with neoguri. Korean neoguri tastes much better. More seafoody and the noodles seem springier.
Makes sense, especially if it’s manufactured in the US. Different ingredient procurements, process is probably different, etc. can be a number of reasons. I’ve heard the same about Buldak.
It’s probably/partially because they had to make some modifications to the American palette.
Not surprising, after living in Korea for three years.. and seeing sugar garlic bread, shrimp pizza with powdered sugar on the crust, and mayo on all Mexican food… Every country adapts flavors to fit their audience.
