🍜 'Butamen' was a huge hit as a snack!? A story about how it was perfect for night shifts and emergency food

Hello! 😊

This time, I'd like to introduce 'Butamen' (tonkotsu flavor), which I actually brought as a snack to my workplace and was a huge hit!

I thought it was just a cheap snack for kids, but surprisingly, there were reasons why it was popular with adults too.

I tried handing out 'Butamen' when I left my job at a US military base

When I was working at a US military base, I was thinking about something casual to hand out as a farewell gift, and I chose Butamen (tonkotsu flavor).

*I also handed out a few types of drinks along with it.Cola,Mitsuya Cider, etc. (opens Amazon link)

I thought it was a classic cheap snack, but actually, many people had never eaten it before, and it was a huge hit, especially with the Japanese staff in their 60s!

'This is delicious!'
'It was better than I thought!'

I received many happy comments like that 😊

It's also perfect for a light snack during night shifts!

I currently work in security, and I often get a little hungry after my night patrols. (Since I walk about 10,000 steps 😅)

However,

• miso soup isn't satisfying enough

• cup ramen is a bit too heavy... (since it's the middle of the night)

At times like that, Butamen is just right!

✅ Here's why Butamen is great!

• Small portion (about 35g) that's easy to finish

• Can be made instantly with just hot water (3 minutes)

• The tonkotsu flavor is addictively delicious

• Before I knew it, I had finished the soup too (lol)

It's perfect for when you feel like having 'just a little something'.

I guess you could say it's more than miso soup but less than a full cup of noodles 😊

Buying in bulk is easy on Amazon!

Buying them one by one at a convenience store or supermarket is fine, but buying in bulk on Amazon is convenient.

The price wasn't any different from my local supermarket, but

• buying by the box is bulky (it's not heavy, but it is a hassle to carry)

• If you choose 'unattended delivery,' it gets dropped off right at your door!

So, if you're stocking up, Amazon is easier 😊

Could it also serve as emergency food?

This Butamen might actually be surprisingly good as emergency food.

• A flavor that kids also enjoy

• It warms you up in the winter

• Satisfying in small portions

However, the shelf life is approximately about 3 months so,

rolling stock (a method of stockpiling by eating and replenishing)

is the standard approach.

Summary: Butamen might actually be the 'best' choice!?

Though you might think it's just a snack for kids...

• It satisfies adults working night shifts too

• Well-received as a gift when leaving a job

• It might even be excellent as emergency food!?

With these three qualities, 'Butamen' should not be underestimated.

If you're curious, please give it a try! 😊

Thank you for reading until the end.
