Nissin Foods Invests in Frozen Noodles for PRC Market
Capturing Growing Demand for Frozen Foods and Premium Noodles
HONG KONG, Jan 05, 2021 - (ACN Newswire) - Nissin Foods Company Limited ("Nissin Foods", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group"; Stock code: 1475) announced that the Group has made an initial investment in production and storage facilities for frozen noodles in its Shunde Plant in the PRC. A first for the Group in the PRC on frozen noodles, this initiative will not only further enrich its product portfolio, but also capture the growing demand for frozen food products and premium noodles in the PRC. The facilities will commence operation this month, and the products will hit the shelves in the first quarter of 2021.
| Nissin Foods' first production of frozen noodles in the PRC will hit the shelf in Beijing and Chengdu in the first quarter of this year. The inaugural products are a collaboration with one of the most popular Japanese ramen shops, "Hakata Ikkosha". Two authentic Japanese flavours, namely Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen (Photo 1) and Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen (Photo 2), featuring a rich and creamy pork bone soup base and Japanese Chashu pork with vegetables will be introduced. | |
Introducing Japanese "ice crown manufacturing method" to its production is another first for the Group in the PRC. This method helps retain the original taste, moisture and chewiness of the noodles by wrapping the noodles with ice cubes, akin to putting on an "ice blanket". After heating in a microwave oven for 3 and a half minutes, the ice cubes melt away and the noodles are steamed and moistened in a specially made pouch. With this, consumers can now conveniently prepare the most authentic Japanese premium noodles and enjoy eating at home.
