Miyako Named Official Ambassador for Itadaki Maratan
In an exciting announcement, Miyako has officially become the ambassador for Itadaki Maratan, a brand that aims to popularize Japanese-style mala soup across the nation. The partnership underscores a commitment to wellness and culinary innovation as Maratan seeks to establish its place in the food culture of Japan.
About Itadaki Maratan
Itadaki Maratan operates under the parent company Kiki, which is a group company of Nexter Holdings based in Shinjuku, Tokyo. They focus on both B2C and B2B models, offering frozen mala soup directly to consumers and supplying to retail and wellness facilities. The company's philosophy revolves around locally sourced ingredients, sustainability, and a culture of health, promoting Japanese-style mala soup as a new staple in Japanese cuisine.
The brand aspires to elevate mala soup to a national delicacy synonymous with Japanese food culture, much like ramen and sushi. Their mission is to provide delicious yet healthy options that incorporate herbal and medicinal benefits. The mala soup combines spicy flavors with beneficial herbs, aligning with Japan’s concept of `Ishoku-Dogen`, which emphasizes health through cuisine.
The Unique D2C Offering: Home-Made Maratan
Miyako will help promote 'Ouchi de Maratan', the direct-to-consumer D2C brand that facilitates easy enjoyment of this unique mala soup at home. Recognized for its superb balance of spices and health-conscious recipes, the frozen mala soup caters to the ever-pressing demands of a modern lifestyle. Its gluten-free, low-calorie nature positions it perfectly for health-oriented consumers seeking flavor without guilt.
Whether paired with vegetables or proteins found in one's fridge, ‘Ouchi de Maratan’ allows even the busiest individuals to enjoy a healthy meal without compromising on taste.
Mission and Vision
Itadaki Maratan carries a strong vision to transform Japanese-style mala soup into a recognized national treasure. Their mission includes producing meals that are delicious yet healthy, ensuring customers receive not only nourishment but enjoyment in every bowl. Each product reflects a commitment to sustainability, making use of organic and locally sourced ingredients to combat food waste.
The team prides itself on upholding cultural significance while pushing boundaries through innovation and excellence in taste. By enhancing the mala soup experience and integrating it into daily diets, the company seeks to engage consumers in embracing a healthier future.
Miyako’s Perspective
Miyako shared her excitement about becoming an ambassador, stating:
“I'm thrilled to represent Itadaki Maratan and share the benefits of mala soup, especially its impact on wellness. I hope to inspire others to embrace this unique culinary trend.”
As a lifestyle influencer, she brings a relatable touch, particularly to busy parents focusing on healthy eating. Through her engagements on social media, she aims to connect with wider audiences, teaching them about the benefits of both mala soup and sauna experiences, termed `samai`, an acronym reflecting a new dining culture post-sauna sessions.
Marketing Strategy and Future Plans
With the rise of mala soup popularity due to its health advantages, Itadaki Maratan not only aims to engage directly with consumers through influencers but also uses its ambassador's unique voice to expand visibility. The synergy between Miyako’s lifestyle content and the health-oriented philosophy of Itadaki Maratan will allow for a vibrant communal approach towards food and wellness.
In addition to expanding product offerings and enhancing quality, the brand seeks to cultivate a community that shares and inspires various culinary experiences. As the partnership strengthens, customers can expect exciting new recipes and innovations to come from the collaborative efforts.
