The Nissin Cup Noodles Black Pepper Flavour is by far my favourite of all of the flavours. Flavour wise, this was more pepper flavoured than crab flavoured. I could taste crab the first couple of mouthfuls but was soon over run by large hits of pepper. The bits and bobs in the ramen were a nice and sweet relief from the abundance of pepper. Heat was definitely present. It was a strong pepper heat, which is definitely a different beast to chili heat. It was extremely more-ish, I found myself after each spoon diving straight back in until reaching after reaching the end, the pepper heat retained in the mouth and it was a good 10 or so minutes before my mouth no longer felt like a sauna. These noodles are made under strict licence of Nissin Foods in China for the Japanese and Hong Kong Market.
