Ramen shop Ippudo will make its first ever appearance at Niconico Chokaigi 2019 from Saturday 27th to Sunday 28th April. This event will take place at the Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Hall. To celebrate, Ippudo will release a brand new ramen!
Niconico Chokaigi is Japan’s largest cultural festival where you can even participate online. Their slogan emphasises the appreciation of everything, whether it be the same or different. Ippudo‘s vision strongly resonates with this slogan, as they believe in an infinite number of possibilities and strive to keep pushing the boundaries. It was from this concept that their new ramen was born! Reform and tradition, skill and passion; Ippudo combined all these base factors to create their new ramen Cho ♡ Ippudo Ramen, which perfectly rounds off the end of the Heisei period.
Cho ♡ Ippudo Ramen (name subject to change) ¥800 (price with tax included), limited sales!
Noodles dressed in tonkotsu sauce, curry spices and garlic oil contrasted with fruits such as pineapple and strawberries, and finished with a touch of vibrantly-coloured vegetables such as tomatoes and broccoli. As well as a range of ingredients, this bowl also includes a range of fun textures such as fruity granola and cheese for you to mix and enjoy. The ingredients harmonise with each other for a beautiful flavour. We recommend you add black pepper for a refreshing aroma or spice for a tingly kick!
On each day of the event, only 300 visitors will be given a pucchin pudding for free! This is a topping for your ramen which will send you on a brand new flavourful adventure! If you mix it with your ramen, it will become milder. The bittersweet flavour of the caramel sauce leaves a touch of nostalgia, and the pudding looks cute too! Come down to the Ippudo booth on an event day to witness the debut of a VTuber! (Virtual YouTuber). There will also be a wide range of fun events taking place. More detailed event information will be released around 22nd April.
Try out a whole new type of specially made ramen and explore the huge range of events at Niconico Chokaigi 2019!

The books purchased can be delivered in either paper or electronic formats (some restrictions apply). The outer walls of the booth will feature 3D holograms with book motifs created by projection mapping, so visitors might want to snap some photos.
