Takoyaki ramen is a type of ramen that has takoyaki as a topping.

It is easy to make since you just need to put takoyaki on top of ramen.

However, personally, I don’t think these two dishes go well together.

In 1985, takoyaki instant ramen was launched by Nissin Foods in Japan.

It got famous since it was an unusual combination,

But…

After 2 years, It was discontinued.

As I said, it is pretty easy to make, so give it a try if you are curious…
