Product Details
This special Baby Star Ramen is inspired by “Tan-shio” (salt-grilled tongue), a dish that appears in the “Chiikawa” manga itself. The flavor is crafted to capture the rich umami and depth of yakiniku’s classic Tan-shio, making it an irresistible snack that will have you reaching for more.
The snack comes in a convenient 6-bag pack, perfect for sharing with friends or enjoying on the go. What makes this collaboration truly special are the four unique inner bag designs! Each bag features Chiikawa, Hachiware, Usagi, and Rakko in adorable scenes, happily enjoying yakiniku. Collecting all four designs will be a fun “oshi-katsu” activity!
