I always wondered what the astronauts cooked up for lunch in space. It seems like my staple food Ramen, has sneaked it’s way in the Astronaut menu. Along with Top Ramen and Nissin products, Japanese astronauts will also be able to munch on rice balls and green tea.
But, wondering what flavor of Ramen is going to go to space? Try Soy sauce, tonkotsu or pork flavored Ramen or curry versions of Ramen will be served for lunch and other meals. These flavors of Ramen make up the Space Ram bunch. “Space Ram” basically referred to Space Ramen.
Not only Ramen, but also 29 other dishes will tag along with these brave astronauts. There will be simmered mackerel, Japanese curry and other hot soups for these space people.
These foods will be specially prepared by Nissin food products in collaboration with JAXA. A Japanese astronaut Souichi Noguchi loves Top Ramen. It’s my favorite food as well.
Besides the Japanese astronauts and Russian cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station rely on Ramen as well. Bonus packs are sometimes served on board.
