According to Get News, the chocolate ramen’s broth smells like, wait for it, chocolate. The initial flavour impression is shoyu ramen.
After that, the site continues, the cacao oil kicks in. The hot soup melts the chocolate bar, giving the shoyu broth a milky chocolate flavour.

No thanks, I’ll stick to pork belly ramen.
I know chocolate has been used in beef based dishes in Italian and French cuisine, and salty chocolate desserts are great, but the idea of chocolate slowly melting into in a standard shoyu ramen makes me feel ill.
i think this is the dish you buy a lady if you want to end the relationship.
Should be called lets get divorced ramen
Gah… i can’t think of anything more foul.
Thanks, I hate it.
