Ippudo Tonmaru Pork Bone Snack

It is considered an easy-to-eat snack for both children and adults, characterized by its crispy texture and addictive tonkotsu (pork bone) flavor. The name is a combination of "ton" (pork bone) and "maru" (taken from Ippudo's standard ramen noodles, "Shiromaru Gen-mi" and "Akamaru Shin-mi") to create a familiar sound, and is written in hiragana to easily catch the attention of children.

Ippudo's mild, odorless soup flavor is expressed through the use of a proprietary tonkotsu (pork bone) flavored seasoning powder. The product is said to be perfect for both snacks and alcoholic beverages, and can be enjoyed on a variety of occasions.

The product will also be available at the official online store and mass merchandisers such as supermarkets in the future.
