"Re:Sa-Meshi 2025 Popularity Poll" Results Announced. 1st Place "Kamatama Abura Soba" to be Re-released Starting April 1st [Ehime Prefecture, Kisuke no Yu]

Iyo no Tojiba Kisuke no Yu, operated by Kisuke Inc., has announced the results of its customer-participation project, the "Re:Sa-Meshi 2025 Popularity Poll." Out of 632 total votes, the "Kamatama Abura Soba" secured 1st place with 358 votes and will be re-released for a limited time starting April 1, 2026.

This project was held as an interactive event where customers voted for the dish they "want to eat again" from the five historical items in the popular "Re:Sa-Meshi 2025" series. By conducting both in-store and web-based voting, we received participation not only from visitors to the facility but also from supporters of Kisuke no Yu across social media and the web.

As a result, we received a significant response of 632 total votes, and the "Kamatama Abura Soba," which garnered the most support, will return as a revived menu item.

A Revived Menu Chosen by Customer Votes

The "Re:Sa-Meshi 2025 Popularity Poll" was organized to look back on the charm of the sauna meal series that Kisuke no Yu has developed and to decide which dish to bring back next.

The candidates were the five popular menu items sold in 2025.

Each of these was developed with a focus on satisfaction for the body after a sauna, seasonality, heartiness, and buzz-worthiness, and they have been well-received by many customers since their initial release. In this popularity poll, the "Kamatama Abura Soba" received 358 votes, earning the top spot as the dish customers most wanted to eat again.

Why was "Kamatama Abura Soba" chosen?

The winning "Kamatama Abura Soba" was the first installment of the Re:Sa-Meshi 2025 series. It features a "Kamatama style" with thick, piping-hot noodles tossed in a special soy sauce-based tare and flavored oil, finished with an egg yolk. It gained popularity for its ability to satisfy post-sauna hunger and its addictive flavor.

While simple, it offers high satisfaction and the freedom to customize the flavor to one's preference. We believe that this menu, which provides the "rich flavor" and "heartiness" craved after a good sweat in the sauna, remained in the memories of many customers, leading to the calls for its revival.

632 Votes Demonstrate the Success of Customer-Participation Projects

We received 632 votes in total through in-store and web channels. By making this a participatory project where the results were determined by the customers' own votes, rather than just a simple revival, we were able to provide an enjoyable experience that included the fun of choosing, supporting, and waiting for the results.
