I won the 5am Ramen competition and Frank sent me 10 primo ramens from Japan! Which one should I start with?
There is an attached website that lists all the ramen and gives English instructions for each. Very thoughtful. My wife and I are going to enjoy these.

Ive lived in Japan for 24 years and have tried every sort of instant ramen. Although not everything on the picture. I have to say Bubuka Abura Soba (top one) would be my top pick. Also because I like dry noodles in general (abura-soba or shirunashi). Tenka Ippin (2nd from left 4th row) would be my least favorite since I hate chicken broth ramen in general. Nagasaki Chanpon (left, 2nd row) is nostalgia at its finest, good eat. Nagoya Taiwan Ramen (left, 3rd row) is pretty decent if you like sweet/spicy. Fuyu no Shio Ramen (salt ramen from winter lol, right 2nd row) is basically boost of sodium but good. Have not had the others.
Enjoy man! One of the main reasons I desperately want to go back to Japan is for ramen for sure. Some decent options here in LA but will never beat Japan.

Can’t wait to read a 30,000 word essay on each flavor! Happy for you, I hope they are so good you realize that you can’t live without them!

In case you want to eat them back-to-back like an instant ramen omakase: start from the lightest broth to the richest broth based on the cover photos. Which appears to be one of these two:
If the website happens to have richness ratings for the ramen, follow the ratings and start with the lowest richness and work your way to the richest. Enjoy!
