Japan’s convenience stores, or Konbini, are globally renowned for their high quality. We have fantastic news for everyone living in the Tokai region and for all fans of Japanese food culture. FamilyMart is launching its first-ever collaboration with “Washoku Noodle Restaurant Sagami,” the largest Japanese restaurant chain in the Tokai area.
“Sagami” is a famous establishment boasting the highest sales in Japan for “Miso Nikomi,” a representative dish of the region’s unique food culture known as “Nagoya Meshi.” Three new products packed with their expertise will go on sale at FamilyMart stores in the Tokai region starting January 27, 2026. Please look forward to the high level of reproducibility supervised by Sagami, who knows the local taste inside and out.
Washoku Noodle Restaurant Sagami Supervised: Miso Nikomi Style Udon
First, let’s introduce the main item of this collaboration. When you think of Sagami, this is it—a dish that arranges their signature menu item, “Miso Nikomi.”
Notably, the depth of the soup is exceptional. By using multiple types of Miso, it pursues a balance of sweetness and just the right amount of astringency while allowing you to feel the robust richness of the miso. Furthermore, umami centered on seafood stock (dashi) is added, creating a flavor that makes you want to drink every last drop. The noodles recreate that characteristic chewy texture, resulting in an authentic finish that overturns the conventional wisdom of Konbini noodle dishes.

Washoku Noodle Restaurant Sagami Supervised: Shrimp Tempura Torotama Bowl
Next is a Rice Bowl menu item arranging Sagami’s popular “Large Shrimp Tempura Fuwatama Bowl.”
It is luxuriously topped with three types of Tempura: Shrimp, Pumpkin, and Okra, combined with “gooey eggs” seasoned with a sweet and savory sauce. Not only do the volume of the tempura and the gentleness of the egg match perfectly, but the fragrant aroma of sesame oil and the shredded Nori seaweed laid over the rice also serve as appetizing accents. This will be the perfect choice when you want a satisfying meal during lunch time.

Washoku Noodle Restaurant Sagami Supervised: Tebasaki Style Glazed Fried Chicken
Finally, a dish that is essential as a side menu. We have recreated the flavor of Sagami’s “Pride of Sagami: Chicken Wings (Tebasaki)” using easy-to-eat Fried Chicken (Karaage).
The key point is the sauce, which allows you to firmly taste that “sweet and spicy flavor.” By blending multiple Soy Sauces, the umami is boosted, creating an addictive taste that you won’t be able to stop eating once you start. It will surely perform excellently not only as an add-on to a Rice Ball (Onigiri) but also as a snack with drinks.

Enjoy Tokai Food Culture Conveniently at the Konbini
Sagami, established over 50 years ago, has been a pillar of the Tokai region’s food culture. In this collaboration, Sagami stated they were “committed to recreating the taste as a convenience store product,” showing that this is not just a lending of their name, but a project filled with enthusiasm to genuinely deliver local flavors.
In particular, the “Miso Nikomi” is revolutionary in that a taste loved in homes and restaurants will now be available 24 hours a day at FamilyMart. In this season when the cold continues, it is a delightful experience to be able to touch the warmth of authentic “Nagoya Meshi” at your nearby Konbini. If you are in the covered area during this period, please check it out at a FamilyMart store (Tokai region exclusive).
