Myojo's Hibanya Ramen Series Revival
Myojo Foods Co., Ltd., under the leadership of CEO Akihiro Toyotome, is set to launch a refreshed version of their popular instant noodle series, Hibanya, on September 14, 2026. This update will include three varieties: the Hibanya Light Soy Sauce Ramen, the Hibanya Clear Salt Ramen, and the Hibanya Creamy Tonkotsu Ramen, all aimed at offering a delicious yet healthier noodle experience.
Since its debut in 2008, Hibanya has been celebrated for its ability to blend flavorful broth with a light, easy-to-enjoy noodle experience. In 2019, the brand pivoted towards low-sodium options and has proudly claimed the title of the number one low-sodium instant noodle brand in the market, as confirmed by Intege SRI+. As health awareness continues to rise among consumers, the demand for low-sodium food products has surged, making this revival particularly timely.
The newest iterations of Hibanya ramen will feature a brand-new non-fried thin noodle, which emphasizes a satisfying texture and flavor while maintaining a low-calorie count of less than 300 kcal per serving. These enhancements cater to health-conscious individuals who desire a tasty yet nutritious meal without compromising on flavor.

The revamped noodles will not only showcase a new noodle style but also refined flavors:
- - Light Soy Sauce Ramen: A delicate broth that combines chicken and bonito flavor, finely adjusted with spices for a refreshing taste.
- - Clear Salt Ramen: Featuring a clear broth with a rich chicken essence complemented by aromatic vegetables and a hint of pepper for a zestful experience.
- - Creamy Tonkotsu Ramen: An indulgent broth that offers the deep flavors of pork, enriched with the fragrance of tonkotsu, belending perfectly with spices for balance.
