Summer Delights from Myojo Chukazanmai

As the summer of 2026 approaches, Myojo Foods Co., Ltd. is set to delight noodle lovers with the launch of the "Myojo Chukazanmai Akasaka Rikyuu Spicy Cold Noodles" (Kararyanmen) on May 11, alongside the revamped version of "Myojo Chukazanmai Akasaka Rikyuu Cold Noodles" (Ryangmen), hitting stores on March 9. These products mark a significant milestone as Myojo celebrates the 45th anniversary of its beloved Chukazanmai series, known for its authentic Chinese flavors.

Celebrating Tradition with a Modern Twist

Since its debut in 1981, the Myojo Chukazanmai brand has paved the way for premium instant noodles in Japan. The iconic cold noodle variant, launched just a year after the brand's inception in 1982, has remained a staple for summer dining. This year, fans can indulge in the new spicy cold noodle option, which promises a tantalizing kick to elevate summer meals.

Myojo's cold noodles are famed for their chewy, smooth, non-fried texture, specifically designed for this type of dish. The new spicy variant features a mouthwatering sauce crafted under the supervision of the esteemed Akasaka Rikyuu, a well-known Cantonese restaurant. The sauce combines the bold flavors of Sichuan peppercorn, chili, black vinegar, and a unique spicy soy sauce that embodies the essence of authentic Chinese cuisine.

In contrast, the revamped cold noodle variant will be accompanied by a rich sesame soy sauce that draws on the same culinary tradition. Additionally, it includes a side of fragrant chili sauce for those who wish to infuse extra spice into their dish.

A Culinary Experience Guided by Experts

The collaboration with Akasaka Rikyuu enhances the quality and authenticity of these noodles. Founded in 1996 by chef Tan Yan Bin, the restaurant is recognized for its exquisite approach to Cantonese cuisine, emphasizing a philosophy of "food as medicine." This ethos resonates through the thoughtful selection of ingredients, resulting in flavors that are both harmonious and enjoyable.

The new sauces not only aim to satisfy adventurous palates but also provide a refreshing twist perfect for hot weather. Drawing from traditional elements, Myojo invites consumers to experience a gourmet noodle dish at home, all while maintaining the convenience of instant meals.

Nourishing Innovations for Summer 2026

In alignment with its 2026 strategy of "Noodles are the Star!" Myojo advocates for noodles as a primary dish at home. The range includes six different types of Chukazanmai noodles, which can easily transform into a complete meal with the addition of personal topping choices. The brand’s official website features an extensive collection of creative recipes to explore, providing consumers with the inspiration to enjoy versatile meals.

Anticipating an increasingly warm summer, Myojo is prepared to adapt by enhancing its instant dry noodles line, including innovations like "Myojo Ippei-chan Yakisoba" and "Myojo Bubuka Oil Soba." As the market for dry noodles continues to flourish, Myojo aims to expand its footprint within this segment while promoting overall market vitality.

In 2026, Myojo will not only uphold its legacy but also set out to capture the vibrant flavors and refreshing essence of summer through its latest offerings. Each bowl of Myojo Chukazanmai noodles invites you to savor the rich culinary heritage of China with the comfort and ease of modern dining.
