Following the joyous event of sliced chocolate making chocolate sandwiches possible, Japan has now set its sights on bringing the beloved confectionery to a new dish: noodles.
Ippei-chan Yomise no Yakisoba is one of Japan’s most popular brands of instant noodles. For years, the busy and lazy alike have looked to Myojo Foods’ Ippei-chan line for a quick, hot meal. Just add water, wait a few minutes, and soon you’ll be enjoying a helping of stir-fried noodles.
Ippe-chan is so successful that the company offers several different varieties, such as spicy cod roe, mayonnaise, and even pizza-flavored versions. But next month, you’ll be able to buy Chocolate Sauce Ippei-chan Yomise no Yakisoba.
Hitting store shelves in time to capitalize on the Valentine’s Day chocolate munching frenzy, the unprecedented flavor provides a triple helping of chocolate. First, the standard Worcester-like yakisoba sauce has cocoa powder and also café latte flavoring mixed into it. In addition, a sweet chocolate sauce is poured on the noodles, and there’s an included topping package with chocolate chips and cinnamon to sprinkle on them before eating.
It all sounds like a surprisingly sophisticated bit of decadence for instant noodles, not to mention an extremely affordable luxury at just 195 yen. Myojo Foods is promising an “addictively sweet and salty flavor” that makes for a great snack or dessert, and we can’t wait to try these chocolate sauce noodles for ourselves when they go on sale on January 18.

Just the thought of the various things they come up with in this section is enough to make a person sick !

I like the variety this company comes up with in their yakisoba, but this one does not look appealing to me. I'll probably try it though just to try it.

And some suggest that the Japanese lack creativity.

So the thing now is to add chocolate to anything? I remember those days when Japan added hachimitsu to everything.
