Japanese convenience store chain FamilyMart is once again launching an attractive new product. This time, joining their frozen noodle category is “Suta-Man Mazesoba,” supervised by “Ganso Stamina Manten Ramen ‘Suzuki’,” a wildly popular ramen shop in Mitaka, Tokyo. It will be available from Tuesday, November 11, 2025, at approximately 16,400 FamilyMart stores nationwide across Japan.
What is the New “Suta-Man” Ramen Genre?
“Ganso Stamina Manten Ramen ‘Suzuki’,” established in 2019, quickly joined the ranks of Tokyo’s most popular ramen shops. Its signature dish is called “Suta-Man,” short for “Stamina Manten Ramen” (Stamina-Packed Ramen). Characterized by its powerful and addictive flavor, which uses generous amounts of chopped garlic, soy sauce, and pork back fat, it has carved out a new genre within Japanese ramen culture. Its popularity is immense, having won the Grand Prize at the “Mail-Order Ramen of the Year” awards for three consecutive years.
FamilyMart has previously released cup noodles and potato chips supervised by “Suzuki,” both of which became hot topics. Now, the long-awaited frozen “mazesoba” (soupless mixed noodles) makes its debut.
An Addictive Flavor, Unbelievable for a Frozen Meal
The newly released “Ganso Stamina Ramen Suzuki Suta-Man Mazesoba” is a new product from FamilyMart’s private brand, “FamiMaru KITCHEN.” It is very affordable, priced at 298 yen (321 yen including tax).
The product’s greatest feature is its “junky” and “impactful” flavor, which faithfully reproduces the taste of the original restaurant.
First, the dish uses extra-thick noodles with a firm, satisfying texture. The sauce is a double-punch of both chopped and grated garlic, combined with a rich, dark soy sauce. By adding the included separate packet of garlic-onion powder, you get an intense hit of garlic and the deep flavor of soy sauce that strikes you from the very first bite.
Furthermore, pork back fat (abura) and roasted onions are added, creating an indulgent flavor followed by the lingering sweetness of the fat and the fragrant aroma of onion. It’s a truly addictive taste that you “can’t stop eating once you start.”
The owner of “Suzuki” also commented, “This is a guilt-ridden mazesoba that reproduces the ‘junky,’ ‘impactful,’ and ‘addictive flavor’ of the Suta-Man Soba served at our restaurant,” expressing great confidence in the product.
Enjoy It for Even Less with Special Campaigns
FamilyMart is also running special promotions to coincide with the launch of this new product.
For members of FamilyMart’s official app, “FamiPay,” a 30-yen discount coupon will be distributed, valid for four types of frozen soupless noodles, including the “Ganso Stamina Ramen Suzuki Suta-Man Mazesoba.” The coupon will be available from Tuesday, November 11, 2025, and can be used until Monday, November 24.
Additionally, every Friday, as part of the “Famima’s Life Support Discount!” campaign, customers can get 50 yen off the total price when purchasing two frozen food items from the “FamiMaru” private brand at the same time. Of course, this new “Suta-Man Mazesoba” is also eligible.
The appeal of Japanese convenience store culture lies not just in its convenience, but also in the ability to easily enjoy authentic flavors supervised by specialty restaurants like this one. Be sure to experience the taste of a popular Tokyo restaurant at your nearest FamilyMart.
