The wait is over for lovers of spicy flavors! Doshisha Corporation, headquartered in Osaka, recently announced the launch of its newest instant noodles: "Tantanmen Noodles with the Fragrance of Sichuan Pepper". Made in collaboration with Menba Tadakoro Shoten, a renowned miso ramen specialty shop, this product promises to tantalize taste buds across Japan starting from February 2026. With over 200 locations both domestically and internationally, Menba Tadakoro Shoten focuses on utilizing high-quality miso sourced from various regions, offering an authentic miso ramen experience.
Doshisha has previously released several successful products under the supervision of Menba Tadakoro Shoten, including the popular "Shrimp Miso Mazemen" that was introduced in May 2025. This latest addition, the Tantanmen variety, embodies the spirit of 'ma-katsu' activities—activities centered around enjoying numbing and spicy flavors. The dish is designed to be easy to prepare in the microwave, allowing fans to indulge in a hearty bowl of noodles without hassle.
Product Characteristics
The Tantanmen Noodles feature a harmonious blend of sesame and the rich flavor of miso, complemented by the vibrant aroma and numbing spiciness of Sichuan peppercorns (Hua Jiao). The combination of fragrant oil and sweet bean paste (Tian Mian Jiang) melds beautifully with the extra-thick noodles, creating a dish that bursts with flavor with each bite. The subtle creaminess from the sesame serves as a perfect counterbalance to the spiciness, resulting in a deliciously addictive taste experience.
Unique Joint Miso Blend
Doshisha uses a special blend of miso, crafted by Menba Tadakoro Shoten itself, making this product a true reflection of the brand’s commitment to quality.
