This product is a cup-style Malatang (spicy Sichuan soup) featuring an addictive blend of numbing Sichuan peppercorns and spicy chili, paired with chewy sweet potato cellophane noodles. At 41.5g, it's half the size of our standard 80g version, offering an affordable solution for consumers seeking an extra side item at lunch.

■ Product Features

A cup of Malatang where the 'addictive' spicy-numbing broth coexists with the 'guilt-free' nature of cellophane noodles. The chewy sweet potato noodles, though thin, offer satisfying texture, making this product appealing to a wide demographic as a light meal for lunch, snacks, or late-night eating.

● Perfect Pairing with Lunch Menus

The mini size is ideal for pairing with existing lunch items like onigiri, sandwiches, and salads. It perfectly meets the need for 'one more thing' – a convenient and satisfying addition.

● Numbing, Spicy Broth Infused with Two Types of Sichuan Peppercorns

The broth, based on doubanjiang (fermented broad bean paste), balances the signature numbing sensation of Sichuan peppercorns and the heat of chili peppers. Two varieties of peppercorns are blended to create an appetizing aroma and an addictive flavor profile.

● Chewy Sweet Potato Cellophane Noodles (Thin Noodles)

Uses authentic sweet potato cellophane noodles popular in authentic Malatang. The thin noodle type absorbs the soup well and offers a more satisfying bite than mung bean noodles.

● Ready in 3 Minutes with Hot Water

Just add hot water and wait 3 minutes to enjoy authentic Chinese Malatang. Perfect for lunch, late-night meals, or snacks during remote work.

■ Development Background

At convenience stores and supermarkets, consumers who choose onigiri or sandwiches as their main lunch item increasingly seek a 'one more item' to accompany it. However, with onigiri priced around 200 yen each, many are hesitant about what to add. To address this, we've commercialized the increasingly popular Malatang in a mini cup format – a never-before-seen 'third option' that is healthy at 173kcal per serving, yet delivers high meal satisfaction through its spicy broth and chewy sweet potato noodles.
