The Kanzen line of products started with curry rice years ago and I reviewed it back then. On my last trip to Japan I picked up the Kanzen Yakisoba Cup Noodle at a konbini. I enjoyed he curry rice version a few times so I really wondered what the Cup Noodle version was like!It turns out the Cup Noodle version comes in the same paper cup as the instant rice versions with different artwork on the outside. It resembles a squat Cup Noodle cup with all the similar logos and writing. It emphasizes the complete meal aspect with the Kanzen blue circle logo. I'm kind of fond of this logo with yellow outline for it as I received a free squishy ball in the same blue + logo the first time I bought this. My cat loves playing with it too. These special meal cups are easy to spot as they have a huge clear plastic cap on top with more description describing how special they are. Under the cap are the powdered sauce base in a big foil pouch and a seasoning oil packet. Kanzen Cup Noodle package.
