Transforming Spa Experiences with Unique Ramen Offerings
In an innovative shift in the spa industry, Mafumo Inc. has started a project that aims to capture the attention of spa-goers by introducing ramen developed in collaboration with popular YouTuber SUSURU. Scheduled to launch on June 26, 2026, the first collaboration features a specialized soy sauce ramen served exclusively at the Ofuro no Ousama Machida located in Kanagawa Prefecture.
The Concept Behind the Project
The rising popularity of saunas and baths has been accompanied by an increased interest in 'Sama-meal' (sauna meals). Guests are now looking for delicious food options to enjoy after their bathing sessions, yet many spa restaurants struggle with menu differentiation. The pressure to attract more visitors and boost customer spending is leading many facilities to seek unique culinary experiences.
To meet these demands, Mafumo Inc. is leveraging the influence of SUSURU, who has over 1.7 million subscribers on his YouTube channel 'SUSURU TV.' The collaboration brings together the allure of a well-known personality with meticulously designed ramen that suits the operational needs of the facilities.
An All-in-One Production Service
Mafumo offers an integrated service for developing gourmet options for spas, sauna facilities, and restaurants, which includes:
- - Recipe and Product Development: Tailoring flavors like soy sauce, miso, or salt to fit the concept of the facility.
- - Product Commercialization: Optimizing the supply and delivery methods for seamless integration.
- - Public Relations and Social Media Promotion: Utilizing press releases and coordinating with the influencer's social media presence to generate buzz.
Facilities interested in introducing their own signature ramen can turn to Mafumo for comprehensive support, from conception through to marketing.
First Collaboration: SUSURU's Special Soy Sauce Ramen
The inaugural product, the
SUSURU Special Soy Sauce Ramen priced at around 980 yen (tax included), will be available at the Ofuro no Ousama Machida. This delicious bowl features a fragrant soy sauce broth enriched with dashi derived from bonito flakes and is intentionally designed to be enjoyed after a relaxing dip in the hot springs.
- - Launch Date: June 26, 2026
- - Location: Ofuro no Ousama Machida's in-house restaurant
- - Served at: Restaurant hours during operational hours
- - Sales Method: Orders and payments can be processed at the restaurant.
This ramen aims to integrate perfectly into the spa experience, offering a satisfying balance of flavors that are particularly enjoyable post-bath. The intense dedication SUSURU has for ramen underscores each element of the dish.
