Hakata & Vegetarian
The vegetarian noodles cost ¥126 while the Hakata noodles cost about ¥140. To be honest, the Hakata noodles tasted better but maybe that's because it is more the taste I expected. However, the soup (dashi or だし or maybe even 出汁)of the vegetarian noodles tasted better. Figure that out. In fact, the dashi was the best tasting dashi I've had so far. The vegetarian noodles claimed to be shoyu aji (しょう油味) but it tasted more like miso.
As instant noodles went, they weren't half bad. Or is that not half good? Is the glass half....?

If you want to see more about the vegetarian raamen or, if you really, really, want to practice your Japanese, you can go to Sakurai Foods in Gifu, Japan for more info OR you can go to their webpage (which is back towards the middle of this sentence) to practice reading Japanese.
This company uses organic ingredients so we all won't die of something... chemical poisons? ... quite as quickly. Not only is it vegetarian but it doesn't contain any fish or meat, either. (You'd be surprised how many 'vegetarian' products use animals or body parts - one instant noodle uses cow brains. For taste, they said after it was discovered the cows they used were livid. Completely mad.) As the Sakurai Foods webpage says: 肉・魚を使用していません。かんすいは使用していません。Clear enough, eh?
