About
A large Japanese cup yakisoba, fried noodles you drain and then toss through a salt sauce, with a lemon tang over pork, sesame oil and black pepper. Buy it if you want a big, rich, salty and lemony noodle meal; if you want a light lunch, this is the wrong cup.
明星 一平ちゃん夜店の焼そば 大盛 レモン香る豚肉塩だれ味. Ippei-chan Yomise no Yakisoba (yomise are the night stalls at a Japanese summer festival), the large (ōmori) cup, in its lemon and pork salt-sauce flavour. Roughly "ip-pay-chan".
What you're getting
- Taste: a salty pork sauce with sesame oil and black pepper, and a lemon flavour that cuts through the richness. The lemon is a flavouring; there is no lemon juice in it.
- Portion: 130 g of noodles in a 172 g cup, where the regular Ippei-chan cups hold 100 g, so one cup is a full meal.
- On top: a garlic mayonnaise sachet you draw over the noodles at the end, and a sprinkle of sesame, pepper and chives. Small pieces of pork and cabbage are already in the cup.
- The honest caveat: it is strongly flavoured and rich, and people who dislike strong flavours find it too much. Go easy on the mayonnaise if that is you.
- Allergens: contains wheat, egg, milk, soy, sesame and apple, plus pork and chicken. Read the pack's own label before you rely on ours. Australian labels don't have to flag apple as an allergen, and the ingredient list does not say where it comes from, so if you avoid apple, skip this cup.
- Also on the label: made on equipment that also handles prawn, crab and walnut.
It is not a soup: the water comes out before anything else goes in. The salt sauce is rich and heavy, not light. And if you have had the regular salt Ippei-chan, this is the bigger cup, with lemon and without the seaweed sprinkle.

In their own words
What Japanese buyers say
- What they like
It was seriously lemony.
すごいレモンだった
from monolog, a Japanese review site
- What they grumble about
The lemon is there to freshen it up, and it does a little, but the heaviness of the pork and sesame oil still wins.
これにレモンを合わせることで爽やかさを演出していますが、確かにちょっと爽やかになるもののやはり豚やごま油の暑苦しさが勝ちますね。
from cupmen.org
- What they like
Even so, this is where the lemon earns its place: it stops the whole thing being nothing but heavy.
それでもここでレモンが真価を発揮し、レモンのアクセントでこってり一辺倒にならない効果が感じられました。
from cupmen.org
- What they like
Full-flavoured and delicious.
味がしっかりしてて美味しかった。
from monolog
- What they grumble about
There's a lemony touch and it's not bad, but the flavour's a bit strong.
味はレモンっぽい感じもあって悪くはないけど少し味が濃いかなー
from x.com
- What they grumble about
Also, once you mix in the sauce it coats the meat heavily, so anyone who doesn't like strong flavours should watch out.
あとはソースを混ぜると肉に濃く混ざるので、濃い味が苦手な人は要注意
from monolog
- Mixed feelings
If anything, it felt light on salt for a salt sauce and could have been a little richer. Neither too heavy nor too light: a flavour most people will like!
ただ、強いて言えば塩ダレの割に塩気が弱いような感じもあり、もう少しこってり感があっても良かったような印象でしたので、濃厚過ぎるわけでもなくあっさりでもなく…万人受けするフレーバーと言えるでしょう！
from webproduct-lab.com
- What they like
It's a little sour, sure, but it's rich and tastes of grilled meat too, so this one's good!!
確かに少しスッパイ感じはありますがこってりとした焼肉感もあるので、これは美味いですよ!!
from ameblo.jp
- What they like
And as the large size, with 130 g of noodles, it's a full meal on its own.
しかも大盛で麺が130gあるので単品で十分一食をまかなえます
from ameblo.jp
- What they like
The lemon smells so fresh, the richness isn't cloying, and there's plenty of it.
レモンの香りが爽やか～😃✨こってり感がしつこくないの🎵量もしっかり⤴️

- What they grumble about
Basically, a junky, large yakisoba where every flavour is strong.
とにかくいろんな味が濃いジャンキー大盛り焼きそばね。
from youtube.com
- What they like
The mayonnaise isn't very rich on its own, but it makes the sauce richer still, and the garlic piles on even more heaviness, in a good way.
マヨのこってり感はそれほどないですが、それでもソースの味をさらにこってりなものにしており、加えてニンニクの風味で良い意味でいっそうの暑苦しさを加えています。
from cupmen.org
- What they grumble about
It comes with a sachet of mayonnaise to squeeze over, but I don't think it does much, so you could do without it.
マヨビームもついてますがあんまり仕事しない気がするのでなくてもいいかも
from ameblo.jp
- What they grumble about
The meat has the soft texture you often get in cup noodles, which is a bit disappointing.
肉はカップ製品ではよくありがちな柔らかい食感で少し残念。
from monolog
- What they grumble about
I like how fully it commits to being Ippei-chan, but it could be hard going if your stomach is delicate.
徹底的に一平ちゃんらしさを追求しているのは好感が持てますが、胃腸が弱っているとなかなか厳しいかもしれませんね。
from cupmen.org
- What they like
That was seriously good.
すげー美味しかった🤤
