On the 9th, Ottogi announced the news of upgrading the mild and spicy flavors of Jin Ramyun and announced that it had further enhanced the rich broth flavor and savory taste by reinforcing the brisket raw materials. The mild flavor enhanced the deep umami of the beef bone and brisket broth. As consumers’ expectations for spiciness have recently increased, the intensity of the spiciness has been increased while maintaining the unique clean seasoning taste. The amount of dry ingredients was increased by more than 10% compared to before.
The noodles were also made more chewy and sticky. By systematically studying the elasticity, chewiness, and hardness of noodles according to the time elapsed after cooking, the chewy noodles can be maintained for a longer period of time without spreading. In addition, the broth’s permeability has also been improved, making it a better match for the deep, rich soup flavor unique to Jin Ramyun.
The amount of cooking water was also adjusted for ease of cooking. The recommended amount of water has been changed from 550ml to 500ml, and can be easily measured using just one water bottle. We also took into account that the basic water discharge volume of home water purifiers is generally 500ml.
An Ottogi official said, “Considering changing consumer tastes, we have devoted ourselves to research and development for a year so that consumers can enjoy the deeper and richer taste of Jin Ramyun.”
Sequentially available in stores starting in September
“Please give us a lot of interest so you can meet us,” he said.
Ottogi Jin Ramyun, which celebrates its 36th anniversary this year, has continued to upgrade and expand its position in the ramen market since its launch. It has a diverse fan base based on the level of spiciness, including the ‘Jinsun faction’ who prefer mild flavors and the ‘Jinmae faction’ who enjoy spicy flavors. In 2022, Jin of BTS was selected as the model for Jin Ramyun, leading to increased sales overseas.

The taste changes
I used to be a fan of hot ramen, so I’ll try Jin ramen for the first time in a while.
