Kyushu Chikuhou Ramen | Summer Favorites 'Hiyashi Chuka' and 'Cold Dipping Noodles' Launch May 25!

Press Release Overview

YS Food Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tagawa, Fukuoka; President: Yukio Nakamura), a group company of Trailhead and operator of Kyushu Chikuhou Ramen 'Yamagoya,' will begin selling summer limited menu items across the Kyushu Chikuhou Ramen group starting Monday, May 25, 2026.

This summer, the lineup features both refined classics and new noodle dishes designed to maximize the potential of their ingredients. This includes the 'Cold Dipping Noodles,' a revival of a popular menu from over a decade ago adjusted for modern appetites with shocking volume, and the 'Hiyashi Chuka' (Cold Ramen), which adds new value through its smooth texture thanks to a 'Ume Nameko' (plum-flavored mushroom) topping. Additionally, the 'Negishio Lemon Gyoza,' which sold out repeatedly last year, has been further evolved with a completely redeveloped sauce.

### 2026 Summer Limited Product Details

**Sales Period:** May 25, 2026 (Mon) to August 30, 2026 (Sun) (Planned) **Available at:** Kyushu Chikuhou Ramen Group stores (Yamagoya, Basaraka, Ikkouryu, etc.)

#### 1. [Evolution of the Classic] Hiyashi Chuka with Ume Nameko - 980 Yen (incl. tax) This perennial summer favorite returns with even better texture and satisfaction. - **New Proposal: Ume Nameko for Lasting Freshness:** For the first time, we have adopted 'Ume Nameko' as a topping. While cold noodles often dry out during the meal, the smooth coating of the nameko mushrooms keeps the noodles fresh until the last bite. The sharp acidity of the plum stimulates the appetite, creating a dish so smooth it can almost be 'drunk.' - **Special Mild Sauce:** The sauce pursues a perfect balance between soy sauce sharpness and sweet-sour notes. By avoiding strong black vinegar, we've created a gentle flavor that even children and those who dislike sour food can enjoy to the last drop. - **Satisfaction with 1.5 Servings:** Served with 1.5 portions of noodles and abundant toppings like cucumber, wakame, and bamboo shoots.

#### 2. [Ultimate Smoothness] Cold Dipping Noodles - 770 Yen (incl. tax) A legendary menu from 10 years ago returns with 'shocking volume' for today's needs. - **Noodle Craftsmanship: Flat Thick Noodles with 'Ra-mugi' Wheat:** The star is the homemade flat thick noodles delivered directly from our factory. Blending Fukuoka's ramen-specific wheat 'Ra-mugi,' these noodles offer a unique strong elasticity and wheat aroma. Chilled in ice water, the noodles' resilience and smoothness are further emphasized. - **Shocking 2-Serving Portion:** To ensure maximum heart and stomach satisfaction, we provide 2 full servings of these premium noodles. The simple composition allows the quality of the noodles to shine. - **Customizable Spice:** We recommend starting without the spicy bean paste (Toban-jan) to enjoy the noodle flavor, then adding it to taste. The rich aroma of Ariake roasted seaweed complements the savory sauce, making it easy to finish the large portion.

#### 3. [Long-Awaited Return] Negishio Lemon Gyoza - 530 Yen (incl. tax) The legendary side menu that saw constant sell-outs last year returns with a newly developed dedicated sauce, offering a refreshing citrus kick.
