Myojo Launches a Special Miso Chanko Flavor to Celebrate 60th Anniversary

Myojo Foods Co., Ltd. (CEO: Akihiro Toyotome) is excited to announce the release of the limited edition "Myojo Charumera Cup Miso Chanko Flavor" on August 31, 2026, as part of the 60th anniversary celebration of the beloved Charumera brand.

A Legacy of Flavor

The "Charumera" series has been a staple in households since its launch in 1966, with continuous innovation and improvement to cater to a wide range of customers. To mark its 60th anniversary on September 7, 2026, Myojo Foods is proud to present this special Miso Chanko flavor, inspired by traditional red-themed celebratory attire known as "aka-chan-chan-ko" worn during the 60th birthday celebrations.

This unique offering features a robust broth made from a base of chicken and red miso, enhanced with scallop stock and aromatic vegetables. The noodles are crafted to be flavorful and have a satisfying bite. A finishing touch of chili oil infused with garlic and more red miso lends a rich taste and a mild spicy kick.

Ingredients with Meaning

The cup features an array of carefully selected ingredients including chicken meatballs, cabbage, crab-flavored fish cake, carrots, and shiitake mushrooms. Each component of this ramen is meaningful, symbolizing good fortune and prosperity with their colors, shapes, and names. Notably, the inclusion of scallop stock, represented by the kanji "帆立" (hotate), evokes the idea of things proceeding smoothly, as it associates with a favorable wind in Japanese culture.

The idea for this innovative flavor sprang from the internal initiative "Charu-1 Grand Prix" held in 2025, where all employees were invited to submit ideas for a product to mark the anniversary. The final product was based on the winning concept from the competition, showcasing a collective effort to celebrate this major milestone.

Eye-Catching Packaging

In line with its 60th anniversary theme, the packaging features the Charumera mascot dressed in a bright red "aka-chan-chan-ko" to emphasize the celebratory nature of this product. This colorful design aims to express gratitude to loyal customers who have supported the Charumera brand over the years.
