A Taste of Asia: FamilyMart Launches Diverse Asian Delicacies
FamilyMart, headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, is set to delight food lovers with its new "Asian Cuisine" fair launching on June 17, 2025. This event is part of the company's ongoing commitment to enhancing customer experience through various initiatives under their motto, "More Delicious" and "Your Happiness."
The fair will feature a total of
13 different Asian dishes from countries including Taiwan, Korea, Thailand, China, Vietnam, and India, all available at approximately
16,300 FamilyMart outlets nationwide. This year's lineup adds six new dishes to the already popular offerings from last year, making it more exciting than ever for Asian culinary enthusiasts.
Expanding the Flavor Palette: A Fusion of Cultures
As summer approaches and the demand for spicy and ethnic foods rises, FamilyMart capitalizes on this trend by bringing a variety of tasty dishes right into the hands of its customers. Last June, the store introduced
seven Asian gourmet items, which were met with heartwarming popularity. The latest additions promise to elevate this culinary journey even further.
Among the new items is the
Lu Rou Rice Onigiri (194 yen, tax included 209 yen), inspired by Taiwanese cuisine. This rice ball features tender pork marinated in a sweet and savory sauce, enhanced by a delightful hint of five-spice powder. Another highlight is the
Chilled Biang Biang Noodles (510 yen, tax included 550 yen), a favorite from the frozen food section, providing a satisfying icy treat that complements the spicy offerings.
FamilyMart is also enhancing its comfort food selection with two new
retort curry varieties under the "Famimal" label, launched in March 2025. Each dish is crafted with a focus on
spices and authentic taste. The
Green Curry (332 yen, tax included 358 yen) showcases a blend of fresh herbs and coconut milk, resulting in a balanced sweetness and spiciness. On the other hand, the
Pepper Chicken Curry (332 yen, tax included 358 yen) is characterized by its robust pepper flavor and hearty chicken chunks, delivering a satisfying meal experience.
