Japanese snack label Acecook introduced its latest ramen cup flavor, Vanilla Creamy Seafood. The new flavor has been released in celebration of the 30th anniversary of its Super Cup 1.5 Bar instant noodle. The unique flavor draws inspiration from the summer weather, aiming to infuse a taste of creamy vanilla ice cream into the ramen. Notably, the packaging has a warning note that reads "does not contain vanilla ice cream." The taste delivers a blend of sweet vanilla notes with a rich prawn and scallop seafood taste.
In order to give the noodles a vanilla taste, Acecook included a separate powder packet to allow consumers to control the amount of sweetness. The Acecook Vanille Creamy Seafood ramen noodles will be available exclusively in Japan beginning July 30th.
