May Pack Review

This month in Japan we enjoyed the warming spring weather.

We celebrated the 5th anniversary of ZenMarket, our parent company, with a hanami party in the park.

Most of Japan took an extra-long Golden Week holiday, to mark the end of the Heisei and start of the Reiwa period.

Let's look inside our May Packs!

RAMEN - Tan Tan & Tonkotsu Pack

We hope your tastebuds are ready for this flavor explosion. Tonkotsu is a popular ramen type made with pork bone broth, and the rich and creamy soup is accented with garlic and sesame. Tan tan men can be spicy and sour (often both) and also uses sesame and garlic as the main flavor boosters. The addition of spicy pepper takes the flavor of this dish to the next level. You'll be able to try multiple varieties of each one, including a soupless version of tan tan men from Hiroshima. We wonder which you will like more!
