This nifty yakisoba style beef yakiniku noodle bowl from Maruchan was a great little find at T&T. I actually cannot find it right now on the Toyo Suisan / Maruchan Japan website so I think it is was a limited time item. The bowl shape is just like their soup noodles for their 麺づくり (Make Noodles) line of bowls except the lid is different to allow you to drain the water away.I wasn't sure what to expect from this, so tasting it was going to be a surprise. Beef yakiniku consists of bite-sized, thinly sliced pieces of beef that are grilled and then dipped in sweet and savory soy-based sauce (tare) or other dipping sauces. If you ever do this in person, expect a savoury beefy aroma to fill the air and then there is the rich smell of the tare mixed in too. BBQ is absolutely delicious, so any ramen bowl that simulates this has a lot to live up to!Angle view of the bowl.
