  • Shifting Perceptions of Instant Ramen in Japan During the High-Growth Era, 1958–1973
    IJAPS, Vol. 8, No. 2 (July 2012), 13–31 SHIFTING PERCEPTIONS OF INSTANT RAMEN IN JAPAN DURING THE HIGH-GROWTH ERA, 1958–1973 George Solt1 New York University, United States email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Instant ramen attained national prominence in Japan beginning in 1958 with the release of the first nationally advertised brand, Chikin Ramen, produced and sold by Momofuku Ando's Sanshī Shokuhin, later to be renamed the Nissin Foods Corporation. From the time of its release, instant ramen became one of the most widely advertised products in Japan. The industry, led by Nissin, was exceptionally successful in utilising marketing campaigns to capitalise on social transformations. The advertisements of the Nissin Foods Corporation are particularly useful indicators of shifts in social organisation, reflecting the transformation of norms and sensibilities occurring in Japan during the fifteen years following the introduction of the emblematic food of convenience. Nissin Foods Corporation reinvented its product and shifted advertising emphasis frequently to accommodate the changing milieu with respect to convenience foods. Initially marketed as a healthy meal full of essential vitamins and nutrients that provided an alternative to cooking for busy housewives, instant ramen quickly became a defining product symbolic of postwar youth culture in the 1960s. By tracing the shifts in instant ramen advertising from the earliest ads in newspapers to later spots on television, the essay will examine the evolving form and content of instant noodle advertising in Japan to illuminate the connections between popular food trends and larger social and political changes related to family organisation, nutritional science and projections of national identity.

  • TOYO SUISAN – the Company Behind the Beloved Maruchan Mark
    TOYO SUISAN c1c4- 04.9.7 3:22 PM ページ2 TOYO SUISAN 8-18 04.9.7 3:21 PM ページH2 TOYO SUISAN – The Company behind the beloved Maruchan mark Toyo Suisan Kaisha, Ltd. (“the Company”) was established in 1953 as an exporter, domestic buyer and distributor of marine products. The Company entered the cold-storage business in 1955 and began producing and selling such processed marine food products as fish sausage in 1956. Toyo Suisan and its consolidated subsidiaries (“the Group”) subsequently expanded operations into such other business fields as instant noodles, fresh noodles and frozen foods. At present, besides consumer foods for home use, we also provide a diverse range of delicious, easy-preparation food products for the commercial food service industry, including restaurants, specialty stores and industrial food service. Since its debut in 1962, the Maruchan mark has become widely recognized and loved as the symbol for Toyo Suisan’s processed foods among every Japanese age group ranging from small children to the elderly. In 1972, Toyo Suisan established a local subsidiary in the United States and began manufacturing and selling products for North America. In 1995, Toyo Suisan initiated production and sales of instant noodles in China. Accordingly, products featuring the Maruchan label are highly acclaimed for their flavor both domestically and overseas. Based on Toyo Suisan’s corporate stance of “striving to deliver the most wholesome bounty of the earth to the dining table,” the Company is undertaking efforts to ensure careful selection of only the choicest foods and to create products that preserve the flavor of ingredients.
