Exciting Collaboration: Ramen Walker and Seven-Eleven
In a delicious twist this summer,
Ramen Walker, one of Japan's largest ramen media outlets, is joining forces with
Seven-Eleven to launch two unique chilled noodle dishes across its stores beginning
August 25. This collaboration marks a significant innovation in the realm of chilled ramen, particularly appealing to fans of
Iekei ramen (家系ラーメン). With two standout offerings - the
Chilled Iekei Ramen and the
Chilled Pepper Soba - there’s something special waiting for every ramen lover.
Chilled Iekei Ramen - A Refreshing Classic
Priced at
¥550 (including tax ¥594), the
Chilled Iekei Ramen is set to be a fan-favorite. This dish combines the rich flavors of traditional Iekei ramen with a refreshing chilled twist. It features a generous serving of diced garlic, which adds an intense flavor and an addictive quality to the dish. Each bowl comes loaded with classic toppings such as tender chashu (braised pork), spinach, and nori (seaweed), which harmoniously complement the flavorful broth.
Unique Taste Experience
The ramen's thick, flavorful broth and perfectly chilled noodles promise a delightful mouthfeel right from the first bite. This innovative take on a classic recipe is designed to be enjoyed even during hotter months, allowing ramen enthusiasts to experience their favorite dish without the heaviness typically associated with hot soups.
Chilled Pepper Soba - Spice and Sensation
The second offering, the
Chilled Pepper Soba, is priced at
¥498 (including tax ¥537.84) and has its own distinct character. The soba noodles are served in a dark, rich broth made from a blend of soy sauce and the essence of pork, chicken, and seafood stocks. The standout feature of this dish is the inclusion of coarsely ground black pepper, which can be added per preference for an extra kick of flavor.
A Bold Flavor Profile
This dish is not just about the soup – the texture and sensation of the soba provide a cooling yet spicy experience that tantalizes the taste buds. A bold blend of spice and unique textures makes this dish stand out, proving that chilled noodles can be both exciting and satisfying.
A Commitment to Quality
Since its inception in 2008,
Ramen Walker has proudly spotlighted outstanding ramen shops from across Japan. This collaboration not only expands their offerings but also continues their mission to promote the best ramen innovations. As part of their ongoing efforts, Ramen Walker will also release the
