I can say fairly certainly that this is the greatest painting of instant deep-fried vegetables ever made.
Nissin (Page 8)
Put together by the XV development team, this is being billed by its producers as the first-ever official mashup TV commercial in the history of Final Fantasy.
With Nissin’s cup noodles featured heavily in the latest Final Fantasy game, the company decided to gift Square Enix employees with a ramen donation.
The company famous for instant noodles is now releasing a limited number of their fresh noodles to lucky customers.
Because it’s not enough to have reconstituted mystery meat products; you need mysterious mascots as well.
Generally mystery meat is something to be avoided, unless you’re talking about Cup Noodle brand mystery meat.
Curry rice you can make with hot water? No more need for microwaves, so let’s blow them up!
It’s Cup Noodle’s 45th birthday this year, and the noodles are looking good in a special commemorative package!
The thank you note and display to customers left by the owner inside the door is warming hearts around the Internet.
Test your knowledge of Japanese trends by spotting the “buzz points” in this action-packed commercial.
The beautiful animated visuals and rap soundtrack make it easy to learn Japanese and discover the history of instant noodles at the same time.
Caution: Watching this deliciously bizarre ad may cause your entire head to turn inside out and your knees to violently explode.
The newest in the instant noodle giant’s world flavors series of cup noodles promises gooey cheese and a spicy kick. It delivers on one of those things…
Every once in a while a commercial comes along that so accurately deconstructs the human condition that it’s hard for any of us to not cry lasers over it. There was that one time Intel showed us the harrowing tale of a young boy whose friend was dying of cancer, and that Toyota one about a father and daughter? Well, I darn near vaporized my cat while watching that one.
Now, noodle giant Nissin and their White Curry Meshi (rice) bring us a spot titled “Sorrow of Wasteland“, which tells the story of desperate struggle between two men who were once friends. Get your tissues and ruby-quartz glasses out for this one, folks!
With Halloween becoming an increasingly recognized event in Japan, we’re sure to be seeing plenty of products featuring pumpkins, black cats, ghosts and witches in shops across Japan as we enter the month of October. And the instant food market is no exception to the trend, as Nissin Foods, known around the world for their Cup Noodles, come out this month with four unique Halloween-themed instant food products.
That’s right, you can be sure to get a taste of Halloween this year, even if you have no time to cook!
You hear a lot of news about the weird foods coming out of Japan. It’s almost as if, once a year or so at one food retailer or another, the guys in the marketing department have a meeting to determine the next delicious flavor to serve up to the masses, only for the director to suffer a minor brain aneurysm and start shouting a bunch of random gibberish about soil-flavored bananas or something.
And that, friends, is probably how we ended up with beef-topped ramen ice cream.
