Tokyo Style Noodle's Refreshing Summer Dishes Launching in Convenience Stores

Refreshing New Offerings from Tokyo Style Noodle

As the summer season approaches, the renowned ramen shop, Tokyo Style Noodle ほたて日和, based in Akihabara, is set to bring delicious summer flavors to convenience store shelves. On June 23, 2026, FamilyMart will begin selling two exciting new products inspired by the restaurant's unique recipes, available at approximately 5,500 locations across the Kanto region.

Introducing Summer Delights

The star product is the Katsu and Kombu Dashi Cold Noodle, priced at 573 yen (tax included). This dish features a refreshing broth combining the savory flavors of katsu (bonito) and kombu (kelp), with the added twist of a梅ジュレ (plum jelly) topping that allows for a flavor transformation as you enjoy your meal. The dish offers both lightness and depth, making it an ideal choice for hot weather.

In addition, for the first time, Tokyo Style Noodle will introduce a special rice ball called the Chefs’ Special Rice Ball with Scallop Flavor, available for 181 yen (tax included). Drawing inspiration from the restaurant’s popular day-to-day menu called ‘Chef’s Whimsical Dish’, this rice ball is filled with a gentle essence of scallops blended with shredded mackerel, crafted to please your palate.

Seasonal Highlights from the Chef

Upon releasing these products, Chef Junichi Oikawa of Tokyo Style Noodle expressed his enthusiasm. He stated, "This cold noodle dish boasts a refreshing and aromatic sensation perfect for hot summer days. Add the梅ジュレ to enhance the delightful aroma and explore various flavors as it mixes well with the noodles! We ensure a taste rich in umami from the scallop, katsu, kombu, and plum harmonizing together!"

Additionally, the rice ball introduces a robust flavor profile that mirrors the restaurant's celebrated dishes. Chef Oikawa recommends indulging in the rice ball right after unwrapping to enjoy the rich aroma of scallops and experience the complex tastes in each bite—ensuring you want more!
