THE ASAHI SHIMBUN
Top instant noodle maker Nissin Food Products Co. plans to increase product prices in January due to rising costs of wheat and other ingredients, officials said Wednesday.
The Osaka-based company will raise retail prices by 10-20 yen for most products shipped on or after Jan. 1.
The price of the mainstay product, Cup Noodle, will rise to 170 yen for the regular size, including tax, from 155 yen.(IHT/Asahi: September 6,2007)
My comment
I eat Cup Noodle at times. When I want something to eat, it's convenient that there is a Cup Noodle. We're familiar with it for a long time. So it may be natural to be surprised at the press release that Nissin plans to the increase product prices. I think it's the influence of increased grain prices accompanied with high demand for bio-ethanol.
"No border" The word indicates it's the symbol that Cup Noodle spread all over the world. It's just a Japanese representative food, and changed our food culture.
I'm afraid of the latest increase in price of a variety of products.
By the way, what kind of instant noodle do you like?
