Sapporo Ichiban
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sapporo Ichiban (サッポロ一番?) is a brand of instant noodles (most of them ramen) made by Sanyo Foods and rivals to other Japanese ramen brands like Nissin.
Sapporo Ichiban has found a market outside of Japan, most notably with Chinese consumers in Hong Kong and Canada.

[edit] Products
Ramen flavors include:
- Chicken (Green package)
- Beef (Brown package)
- Miso (Orange package)
- Shrimp (Pink package)
- "Original" (Red package) a mild soy sauce flavor
"Original" flavor used to be animal-free. A package obtained in early 2007 included beef products.
Non-ramen packages include:
- Yakisoba/Chow mein (Yellow, orange and white package). This is not a ramen soup, but ramen noodles meant to be reconstituted then stir-fried with the enclosed flavour package. Traditionally ground beef and Chinese cabbage are added to the stir-fry and seaweed is sprinkled on top from the included pouch if preparing yakisoba, but only the seaweed is included in the package.
- Kitsune - kitsune udon (Blue and white package). This is a package of dehydrated udon noodles instead of ramen, with a reconstitutable square of fried bean curd.
