Oyatsu Company Baby Star Dodekai Ramen Snacks Chicken

Baby Star Ramen has been a fixture in Japanese snack culture since 1959 — crunchy fried wheat noodles seasoned to taste like a bowl of chicken ramen, eaten straight from the bag.

Dodekai takes the same formula and scales the noodle strands up considerably.

Dodekai means “huge” in Japanese, and the name is accurate: these are noticeably thicker and longer pieces than the standard Baby Star, which changes the texture from a light, quick crunch into something with more resistance and a more sustained flavor release.

The seasoning is built on chicken stock worked directly into the dough — not just applied to the surface — which means the savory depth carries through each piece rather than sitting only on the outside.

Soy sauce, chicken extract, meat seasoning, vegetable and seafood extracts layer on top of that base, producing the kind of umami-forward flavor profile that makes ramen taste like ramen rather than just salt and noodles.

The result is a snack that feels more substantial than the bag might suggest.

Thick enough to have real bite, seasoned thoroughly enough that the flavor doesn’t fade as you chew through it. The kind of thing that disappears faster than expected.
