Tsukemen/Ramen Yuimaru, a ramen shop in Inuyama City, Aichi Prefecture, will begin offering its newly developed "Ultra-Extra-Thick Mochi Noodles" made with mochi wheat starting April 16, 2026.

This product transcends the traditional concept of "koshi" (firmness/chew) in ramen, realizing an entirely new noodle experience defined by a "bouncy texture."

With every slurp, you'll experience elasticity just like mochi. The texture that bounces back with every bite sets it apart from any ramen you've had before.

"Why do these noodles 'bounce'?" While standard wheat contains both "amylose" and "amylopectin," the "mochi wheat" used here is a special variety composed almost 100% of amylopectin, the component responsible for stickiness.

This characteristic creates properties such as "strong stickiness, stretchable elasticity, and resistance to hardening even when cooled."

As a result, we have achieved a texture that feels less like "chewing" and more like "bouncing back."

"From 'Koshi' to 'Elasticity'"

The "Ultra-Extra-Thick Mochi Noodles" feature the following: - A "bouncy firmness" that pushes back the moment you bite. - A "mochi-like chewiness" that clearly transcends the realm of ramen and is not just udon. - The ability to hold soup well, ensuring the flavor lasts until the very last bite.

This is a bowl that changes the concept of ramen "noodles." It’s not just firmness; it’s a "bouncy texture." You will notice the difference the moment you slurp them.

These new noodles can also be selected for our popular menu items, including: - Chicken Paitan Tsukemen - Blue Chili Pepper Spicy Tsukemen

Owner's Comment "I wanted to create a ramen where you can truly enjoy the noodles themselves. I hope you will experience this bowl, into which I have poured my heart and soul, where the noodles are the star of the show."
