Japanese food manufacturers are launching new cup noodle products. Myojo Foods will release the ‘Chukasanmai Tategata Big Jukei Hanten Gu-dakusan Mala Tangmen’ on October 26. Supervised by the Yokohama Chinatown establishment Jukei Hanten, the product features non-fry noodles and eight types of ingredients, including chicken meatballs, cabbage, and bok choy, in a beef-based mala soup flavored with Sichuan peppercorns and chili.

Separately, Toyo Suisan is releasing ‘Maruchan Seimen Cup Tonkotsu Shoyu’ on October 12. This product focuses on a rich flavor profile using back fat and garlic. The noodles are designed to mimic a hand-kneaded texture, paired with a thick soup and ingredients such as cabbage, seasoned minced meat, and green onions.
