Exciting Changes Ahead for Ippei-chan Yakisoba!
In January 2026, beloved Japanese brand
Myouji Shokuhin will launch a revitalized line-up of the iconic
Ippei-chan Yakisoba. Known for its rich Osaka-style flavors, this product is a must-try for both locals from the Kansai region and food enthusiasts nationwide. The renewals include three different flavors:
Osaka-style Okonomiyaki Sauce flavor,
Addictive Salt Sauce flavor, and
Soy Butter Mentai flavor.
Flavorful Innovations
The Ippei-chan brand has been a popular choice since 1995, when it introduced its unique concept of cup yakisoba topped with mustard mayonnaise. The rich aroma of the sauce combined with the complete indulgence of the spicy mayonnaise has made it a fan favorite. In the upcoming release, the
Osaka-style Okonomiyaki Sauce flavor will see an improved seasoning mix added to its signature tasty sauce, aimed at enhancing the traditional Kansai flavor for even greater enjoyment.
This renewal effort also includes a fresh packaging design featuring the tagline "Spiced Up for More Flavor!" highlighting the new enhancements that are full of Kansai charm. This presentation aims to appeal to both new and loyal customers alike, encouraging everyone to dive into these updated products.
Rebranding for Stronger Identity
In an exciting twist, both the
Addictive Salt Sauce and
Soy Butter Mentai flavors will introduce new names and designs, emphasizing the brand's identity. The
Addictive Salt Sauce will now feature the label
Ippei-chan Original Salt Sauce while its accompanying mayonnaise will be called
Ippei-chan Original Garlic Mayo. Similarly, the
