Canned ramen noodles proving popular

Canned ramen noodles developed by a Tokyo ramen shop owner and a food company have proven far more popular than expected and are in short supply.
UMAI, a Tokyo-based company, has produced 6,000 sets of 24 cans of ramen called "Sapporo Ramen Kan" since it started to market the products in April. As they are selling at a much faster pace than initially expected, the company decided to produce an additional 60,000 sets. Company officials said it will be ready to produce 60,000 sets of the noodles a month from autumn.
Takeshi Yamada, owner of the popular ramen shop, "Menya Musashi," in Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, came up with the idea of developing and selling canned ramen. The ramen noodles he supplied to areas in central Niigata Prefecture that were hit by a deadly quake in October 2004 were popular with local residents. Yamada then proposed to sell canned ramen as emergency food and developed two types of Sapporo Ramen Kan -- one with a soy sauce-based soup and one with miso (soybean paste)-based soup.
The canned ramen can be preserved for up to three years. (Mainichi)
