1. Jin Ramen Mild Flavor

Jin Ramen Mild Flavor, which remained unsold during the stockpiling phenomenon in supermarkets when the Corona virus first spread. It's probably the number one Korean instant noodle that Koreans don't eat.

It is a ramen that foreigners and children who are not used to the spicy flavor eat a lot because it is not spicy. Ordinary Korean ramen is characterized by being salty and spicy, but Jin Ramen Mild Flavor has almost no saltiness or spiciness. You can see from the nutrition information that it uses soy sauce seasoning base and soy sauce powder. It also tastes like soy sauce.

However, even though it is less salty, it does not mean that it has less sodium. It contains 1,780mg per serving, which is high even among Korean instant noodles. Strangely, it has a higher sodium content than Jin Ramen Spicy Flavor.

2. Soonhagun Ansungtangmyeon

‘Soonhagun Ansungtangmyeon’, launched in October 2023. The existing Ansungtangmyeon was not a spicy ramen, but they released a mild flavor. It is said to be a new product released in celebration of the 40th anniversary of Ansungtangmyeon. It is a chicken-based ramen with a ‘Scoville scale’ of 0, meaning it is very mild. Personally, I thought it was milder than Jin Ramen Mild Flavor. It seems like it would be perfect for those who can't eat spicy food.

3. Mild Neoguri

Mild Neoguri, featuring thick noodles. The original Neoguri is also one of the less spicy Korean ramen noodles, so it is also very popular overseas. So, I think it is a product that Nongshim released with the overseas market in mind, but in fact, Mild Neoguri was released before the red Neoguri that we know. Mild Neoguri was released in 1982 and Spicy Neoguri was released in 1983. Some say it tastes like udon. Unlike the above two ramen, it has a low sodium content of 1,480mg.

4. Sari Gomtangmyeon

Sari Gomtangmyeon, which is consumed more as cup ramen than as bagged ramen in Korea. You can tell at a glance that it is not spicy ramen from the white broth. Sari Gomtangmyeon, which is based on Korean food called Gomtang, a broth made from beef bones, tastes similar to Gomtang or Seolleongtang (ox bone soup). You can enjoy it more deliciously by adding green onions like real Gomtang or pairing it with kimchi.

You can tell at a glance that it is not spicy ramen from the white broth. There are many types of white broth ramen, so I will make a separate post about white broth ramen later.
