hololive’s Houshou Marine is getting her own line of instant ramen
A new collaboration has been announced between the Japanese supermarket chain Ito-Yokado and the popular VTuber, Houshou Marine, from the group hololive.
The new partnership will see the release of two different, original instant cup noodle products, both of which have been supervised by the hololive star.
Houshou Marine is a member of the third generation of hololive and is one of the most popular and subscribed-to VTubers in the world.
The flavors of these new cup noodles are based on her personal love for the ramen from the popular “Sugakiya” chain.
The two new, original ramen flavors are:
- Houshou Marine’s Supervised Seafood Tonkotsu Ramen: ¥365
A rich yet light broth with garlic.
- Houshou Marine’s Supervised Umami-Spicy Ramen: ¥365
A savory and spicy blend of garlic and chili oil.
The inside of the lid of each of the cup noodles also features a QR code, which can be scanned to download a free, exclusive, original smartphone wallpaper.
In addition to the standard, in-store sales of the individual cup noodles, a special, online-exclusive set will also be sold.
The “Ito-Yokado Net Super Limited – Houshou Marine Special Set” is a deluxe bundle that includes a box of twelve cup noodles (six of each of the two flavors), as well as two exclusive, bonus merchandise items: a 15cm-tall acrylic stand and an A4-sized clear file.
This special set is a limited-quantity item that will be sold via a lottery system.
The “Houshou Marine Special Set” is priced at ¥6,372 (approx. $43 USD/£32 GBP).
The lottery for the special set is scheduled to begin on the Ito-Yokado online store on Friday, the 10th of October, at 10:00 AM Japan Standard Time.
The individual cup noodles are scheduled to be released at Ito-Yokado retail stores across Japan in late November.
