【Kitakata Ramen Bannai】Seasonal Limited Product 'Shrimp Salt Ramen' with Rich Shrimp Flavor to Launch on May 19, 2026 (Tuesday)

Menshoku Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Makoto Nakahara), which operates various genres of restaurant businesses both domestically and internationally, including "Kitakata Ramen Bannai," will sell the seasonal limited product 'Shrimp Salt Ramen' at "Kitakata Ramen Bannai" from May 19, 2026 (Tuesday) to July 13, 2026 (Monday).

This product is a new ramen flavor that has not been seen at Bannai before, while leveraging the commitment since its establishment. By blending pork clear broth and shrimp dashi into Bannai's clear soup, it creates a luxurious bowl with a rich, savory shrimp aroma that fills the mouth. By dissolving the shrimp paste topping into the soup, you can also enjoy a change in flavor, allowing you to savor it without getting tired until the end.

The commitment to taste is not limited to the soup. By using thin noodles to enhance the umami, it becomes a luxurious yet light and easy-to-eat bowl. (Thick noodles are also available.) The noodles are chewy and firm "flat aged multi-hydration noodles" with a wavy texture that entwines well with the soup. In addition to Bannai's proud chashu, the toppings include shredded green onions, kaiware radish, dried small shrimp, and an accent of shrimp paste, making it a deeply flavorful bowl.

Furthermore, 'Wonton Shrimp Salt Ramen' featuring special shrimp wontons packed with shrimp umami, and '8-Slice Chashu Shrimp Salt Ramen' where you can fully enjoy homemade chashu, will also appear! You can choose from three types according to your mood. Please enjoy the 'Shrimp Salt Ramen' series, perfect for early summer.
