Neoguri (Korean: 너구리 lit. Raccoon dog) is a brand of ramyun produced by Nongshim in South Korea since 1982.[1] It is exported to over 80 countries,[2] and is the fourth highest selling brand of noodles in South Korea.[3] It is well known for its thick noodles and its spicy seafood flavour. The Korean version has a big piece of kombu, while the U.S. version does not have the kombu in it.
