A New Chapter in Ramen: Introducing Wakame Ramen with Korean Flavors

Acecook Co., headquartered in Suita City, Osaka, proudly unveils its latest ramen offerings: Wakame Ramen flavored with beef bone Comtan and spicy Yukgaejang. Set to hit stores nationwide on August 3, 2026, this delightful duo promises to elevate your ramen experience.

A Fusion of Flavors

The Wakame Ramen series is making a bold statement by embracing Korean culinary themes. Both flavors are designed to complement the signature taste of wakame, a seaweed known for its umami richness. The noodles and broth combinations highlight the profound appeal of traditional Korean soups, harmonized with toasted sesame oil for an aromatic finish.

Beef Bone Comtan Flavor

The first variant, the beef bone Comtan flavor, features a broth that utilizes beef stock combined with a lingering profile of black pepper. The result is a deliciously rich soup that enhances the bite of the round-cut noodles. Each slurp brings together robust flavors from the beef and the unique sesame oil, creating an unforgettable experience.

• - Noodle Texture: Smooth and springy, these noodles are designed for maximum enjoyment with a recommended soaking time of just three minutes.
• - Soup: The broth, reminiscent of traditional Comtan, is robustly flavored with beef and brings a peppery kick, beautifully balanced by the fragrant sesame oil included.
• - Add-ins: Each bowl is generously filled with rich wakame, crunchy soybean crumbles, and a hint of flavor from toasted sesame seeds.
• - Packaging: The distinctly Korean-inspired packaging is designed for easy visibility, with bold graphics and large lettering that highlights the menu name.

Spicy Yukgaejang Flavor

Next up is the spicy Yukgaejang flavor, which is crafted specifically for those who crave a bite. This variant incorporates gochujang and miso, creating a rich and deep broth that's perfect for the adventurous palate. Like its counterpart, it boasts smooth noodles that work well with the spicy and aromatic elements of the soup.

• - Noodle Texture: Just like the Comtan variant, these noodles are also smooth and well-formed, allowing them to soak up the flavors perfectly. A three-minute soaking ensures optimal texture.
• - Soup: The broth combines beef stock with Korean spices, resulting in a robust flavor profile that has a delightful spicy kick.
• - Add-ins: With wakame adding texture, and colorful eggs alongside fiery Korean peppers, each bowl of Yukgaejang is a feast for the senses.
