Ichiran releases its first-ever instant ramen Feb. 12 05:48 am JST Feb. 12 | 06:28 am JST TOKYO You can enjoy a wide variety of ramen in Japan, but for many, nothing beats the hearty, reliable flavor of Ichiran. Specialising in tonkotsu pork bone broth ramen, this popular chain often has lines out the door and down the street, but now you can skip the queue because Ichiran has just announced they’ve developed their first-ever instant ramen! This is huge news for ramen fans, especially now during the pandemic when so many people are opting to eat at home. It’s been a long time coming as well, as Ichiran says they’ve spent 20 years developing the new product, to ensure both the broth and noodles deliver the same high quality and flavour as their in-store offerings, which diners have come to know and love.
