Daisho Ramen

Daisho began as a company in 1991, and at first, made hot pot soup bases, to help people "intake plenty of vegetables in one meal." Its goal is aligned with vegetarians who like ramen, since the Nagahama Yatai Ramen, Tonkotsu style is pork-flavoured (tonkotsu literally translates to pork bone), but is completely meat-free. The broth has garlic, and sesame oil, and relies heavily on the umami flavor profile of vegetables. This brand of ramen is good for couples or roommates who are too lazy to cook since two servings conveniently come in one package (or inconveniently if you are single).

Daisho's instant noodles have received positive reviews for their taste and texture. The noodles are described as having a sturdy chew to them and are pretty standard for instant straight noodles. The broth, particularly for the Rich Soy Sauce Tonkotsu flavor, is very tasty, although some reviewers noted that it seemed to lack thickness.
