Maruchan Yakisoba Bento - Hokkaido Exclusive!
A Hokkaido Favorite: Maruchan Yakisoba Bento
Exclusively available in Japan’s northernmost region, Maruchan Yakisoba Bento is a beloved instant noodle dish created by Toyo Suisan, a company with roots dating back to 1953. Produced under their iconic Maruchan brand, this unique cup noodle set pairs rich yakisoba noodles with a savory Chinese-style soup—a combination that has captured the hearts of Hokkaido locals for generations. Rarely found outside the region, it’s a hidden gem treasured by those in the know.
A Delicious Duo: Bold Yakisoba Meets Comforting Soup
At the heart of this local favorite are springy noodles coated in a flavorful, tangy sauce. But what sets Maruchan Yakisoba Bento apart is its signature twist: the hot water used to cook the noodles is then repurposed to prepare the included soup. This clever touch infuses the broth with the umami of the noodles, resulting in a surprisingly rich, ramen-like side dish. When you’re craving more than just plain yakisoba, this thoughtfully paired set offers a satisfying, well-rounded meal.
