John’s Oddities: Misato’s Ramen

I’ll be the first person to admit that my collection of anime merchandise & memorabilia is neither the largest nor the most valuable. I collect what I like (when I can afford to) and have a particular fondness for unusual and novel items. These items aren’t necessarily rare or valuable; they’re just odd and unexpected, from a non-Japanese perspective. I’ll share some of them, one per day, in case anyone else finds these collectors’ items fascinating.

Evidently Japanese snack company Oyatsu Goro has been producing its Baby Star line of dry snack noodles since 1959, including cross-promotional flavors with Evangelion and Shin Godzilla. This package is “Misato no Karakuchi Curry Aji,” Misato’s dry curry flavored noodles.
