What are Ramen Noodles?
There are many types of ramen designed for fast, convenient preparation. All contain the same basic ingredients: flour, water, salt, dough conditioner, and seasonings/spices. Nissin has two main advantages over our competitors, however. First of all, we develop our products so that they satisfy a wide range of consumers' needs and tastes. Secondly, we use a kansui (sodium carbonate) in our ramen. The kansui softens and moistens the noodles, giving the dough a yellowish color, and enhances viscosity, allowing the dough to mix with the proper amount of water. This process is the main advantage Nissin has over competitors.
Throughout our company's history, Nissin has been recognized as one of the major innovators in the production and marketing of ramen.
Top Ramen, the first ramen introduced to the United States, has been the top of the line ramen product for the past 30 years.
The Cup Noodles product incorporates numerous technologies world wide, including noodle shape and packaging of the noodles.
