Myojo Foods Co., Ltd., headed by CEO Akihiro Toyotome, is set to launch the new 'Myojo Charumera Chikawa Ramen Tonkotsu Flavor' on September 14, 2026, across Japan. This delightful mini cup ramen is tailored for both children and adults, making it suitable for snacks or as a meal accompaniment. The cup will feature five adorable designs showcasing Chikawa characters, making it visually appealing.
The 'Charumera' series has been continuously enhanced since its debut in 1966, gathering a loyal customer base over the years. Remarkably, this September marks the 60th anniversary of the series. The collaboration with 'Chikawa' began because of a humorous scene in the manga where a character mistakenly refers to Charumera as 'Charimera'. The 'Chikawa' manga is illustrated by Nagano and has captured audiences from various age groups since its online appearance in 2020.
This latest flavor introduces a comforting tonkotsu taste that combines pork extract with garlic and scallop stock, resulting in a gentle and flavorful soup. Alongside this, cute ingredients such as 'Chikawa Naruto' and our flavorful diced pork, corn, and scallions create a truly enjoyable eating experience. The design of the cup incorporates a vibrant yellow base with new illustrations of Chikawa characters, showcasing their adorable styles as they prepare for colder months by tying up their hair.
The cup lid features five designs on the front and back, each showcasing distinct, original illustrations, including the new characters 'Kurimanju' and 'Raccoon'. These designs are not only entertaining but also collectable, adding a charming touch to your ramen experience.
