FamilyMart’s private brand, “Famimaru,” will release new versions of this hit series—which has sold a cumulative total of 12 million units—on Tuesday, February 24, 2026.
Classic “Shoyu Ramen” Renewed to Better Capture the Authentic Shop Taste
The flagship “Rai Rai Tei Shoyu Ramen” has been updated to offer an even more authentic experience.
In this update, the richness and “kire” (a sharp, clean aftertaste) of the soy sauce base have been enhanced. This creates a perfect balance between the sweetness of the “seabura” (pork back fat)—a signature characteristic of Rai Rai Tei—and the robust flavor of the soy sauce.
