Nissin Will Sell Noodles and Curry with Caffeine for Gamers

Cup noodle giant Nissin will release Gaming Cup Noodles and Gaming Curry Meshi that will help gamers stay up all night and play. They contain caffeine, arginine, and niacin. You’ll be able to purchase them in Japan from September 18, 2023

Since Nissin is marketing these foods towards gamers, they’re very colorful and emulate the RGB aesthetic on a lot of gamer-focused electronics. This is the first time that Nissin has made products geared towards that particular market. However, this is a response to the large number (50 million in Japan alone) of young gamers, according to the official website.

The cup noodles are dry soba noodles that have black pepper and garlic flavoring. The sauce uses soy sauce as its base. As for the curry, it’s a keema curry. It’s also vegetarian, since the meat in it uses soy. The noodles should cost 280 JPY each and the curry should cost 298 JPY each. They come in boxes as well. Each box of noodles will get you 12 cups and each box of curry will get you 6. Here are some pictures of the products from the Nissin website:

As gaming becomes more and more of a proper mainstream hobby (as well as even a legitimate career), more and more companies are also releasing items that cater to that particular crowd. Some companies do so through collaborations. For example, ZONe energy drink previously released a Genshin Impact pack.

The gamers noodles and curry from Nissin will come out in Japan from September 18, 2023.
