Hello everyone! I'm Saori from Japanese Snacks Republic!

Everyone, this is huge news!! Unbelievably, ... because Japan is too hot, a Cup Noodle made with cold water has been born!
【Cup Noodle】Breaking News! Cup Noodle made with cold water is born! Spicy Kimchi and Chicken Salt Lemon flavors have been announced... but will they actually taste good!?
Boiling water prohibited!? Completely arranged so that it is not delicious unless cold water is used! Special Cup Noodles dedicated to cold water—Spicy Kimchi and Chicken Salt Lemon flavors make their debut!

First of all, I want to tell you one important thing: the release date is the 20th, so it hasn't officially launched yet! To briefly explain the outline, for the first time in the 55-year history of Cup Noodle, a Cup Noodle made by pouring cold water and waiting 5 minutes has been born! It is produced with a new method called 'Cold Rehydration Method' that allows it to reconstitute in cold water, and it seems they have put a lot of ingenuity into making sure it finishes with a firm and smooth texture precisely because it uses cold water!

According to an early experience report, the Spicy Kimchi flavor is based on chicken umami with the acidity and spiciness of kimchi, creating an easy-to-eat and lingering taste precisely because of the cold water. The Chicken Salt Lemon flavor is based on the umami of chicken, bonito, and dried sardines, with the refreshing aroma of lemon as an accent, creating a clean taste. Precisely when the outside temperature is high and you can't eat hot ramen, you can enjoy a refreshing and delicious taste—it is the polar opposite of the regular version, and the flavor seems to be set up so that its individuality stands out!

It has become quite a hot topic in Japan as well, and an early experience report states, 'The one that anyone would find delicious is the Chicken Salt Lemon flavor, while the Spicy Kimchi flavor is a finish that gives you a new realization of just how delicious the combination of kimchi and cold water can be.' Voices saying they want to try both are already rising! I want to eat them too! Since pre-orders are currently being accepted, everyone should definitely give them a try! For anyone who has eaten Cup Noodle even once, please enjoy these two types of cold-water Cup Noodles, created for the first time in its 55-year history!
