Buta Men Super BIG: The Ramen Revolution

In an exciting announcement, Seven-Eleven Japan has unveiled the Buta Men Super BIG, a larger version of the beloved Buta Men instant ramen. Officially available in stores across Japan starting August 11, this new offering from the popular ramen brand offers a whopping 135g of content, with the noodle portion alone weighing in at an impressive 120g!

This remarkable product comes as a celebration of the 10th anniversary of Buta Men BIG, a beloved instant ramen that has been satisfying customers since its debut in 2016. With a request for more volume from enthusiastic fans, the collaboration between Oyatsu Company, which produces the Buta Men, and Acecook, known for their instant noodles, has birthed this latest creation. This ramen experience, steeped in nostalgia, tastes even better with the enhanced volume!

Taste that Takes You Back

Buta Men has always been cherished for its authentic flavor, reminiscent of a classic tonkotsu broth paired with curly noodles that grip the soup perfectly. Whether it’s a quick snack or a late-night craving, Buta Men has carved out a special place in the hearts of fans of all generations.

Flavorful Tonkotsu Soup

The hallmark of any great ramen lies in its broth, and Buta Men Super BIG doesn't disappoint. With a rich tonkotsu base crafted from high-quality pork, complemented by chicken, vegetables, and a balance of spices, this broth invites you to dive in. The hearty flavor assures that its taste lingers on your palate long after you take a sip.

A Brief History of Buta Men

The inception of Buta Men traces back to 1993, when Oyatsu Company sought to expand their mini cup ramen lineup. Capitalizing on the then-popular trend of tonkotsu ramen, they launched Buta Men as the third flavor following Baby Star Atariramen’s soy sauce and curry flavors. The character design featuring a pig was an intentional nod to the tonkotsu flavor profile, providing a charming and impactful product name.

Interestingly, the pig character featured on Buta Men’s packaging remained nameless for many years. In April 2021, a public voting campaign was held to bestow a name upon this beloved character, resulting in the establishment of April 12 as Buta Men Day, with the character now known affectionately as Buta Men-kun. This character continues to resonate with fans, symbolizing the cheerful spirit of Buta Men.
