Moranbong Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Fuchu City, Tokyo; President and CEO: Bong Seok Jeon) will change its "Minestrone Soup made with Tomatoes" to a summer-limited package sequentially from June 2026, proposing minestrone that is "delicious even when cold."

<Increasing Demand for Soups in Summer> While record-breaking heat is reported every year, the market for commercial prepared soups is performing well, growing by 106% year-on-year. Specifically, dedicated seasonings for minestrone have shown significant growth, increasing by 141% year-on-year (KSP-POS (national) all stores, 1000 people value, April-September 2025). The reason for this popularity is that minestrone, made with tomatoes and multiple vegetables, meets the need to "consume vegetables" even when appetite declines due to heat.

<Changing to Summer Limited Package> It will be released in a summer-limited package featuring a key point mark: "Delicious even when cold!" for easy consumption during summer. The back of the package includes a QR code that links to instructions for making "Cold Minestrone" as a recommended arrangement.

<Also Great as Cold Soup in a Soup Jar!> Leftover soup can be frozen for storage. For lunch on subsequent days, you can easily enjoy it as a warm soup using a soup jar, or as a cold soup by simply thawing the frozen soup halfway and pouring it in.
