Oyatsu Company Baby Star Ramen Otsumami Snacks CoCo Ichibanya Spicy Curry with Peanuts

Some collaborations make immediate sense. This is one of them.

Baby Star Ramen — the crispy, snackable ramen noodle brand that has been a fixture of Japanese dagashi culture for decades — meets CoCo Ichibanya, Japan’s most beloved curry chain, in a pairing that has been returning year after year since 2015 by popular demand.

The result is a limited-edition snack that tastes precisely like the idea it was born from: the deep, savory comfort of a CoCo Ichibanya pork curry, translated into something you can eat by the handful with a cold drink in hand.

The flavor starts with the curry itself. Oyatsu Company worked closely with CoCo Ichibanya to capture the rich, rounded depth of their signature pork-based curry — the kind of warmth that builds slowly, coats the palate, and lingers in a way that makes the next handful feel necessary.

But what sets this collaboration apart is the addition of CoCo Ichibanya’s proprietary tobi-kara spice blend: a finishing touch of distinctive heat and aroma that lifts the curry flavor from familiar into something sharper, more complex, and genuinely addictive.

Then there is the texture. Each bag contains two elements that work together rather than separately: crispy ramen noodle sticks with a satisfying snap and real chew, and crunchy roasted peanuts whose mild sweetness plays directly against the heat of the spice.

The contrast is not accidental — it is the point. Spicy noodle, sweet peanut, spicy noodle, sweet peanut. The rhythm of it is part of why the bag empties so quickly.

Packaged in six individual 21g pouches within a single 126g bag, this is a snack designed for the table rather than the pocket: for the evening drink, the shared plate, the slow end of a long day. A limited-edition release, available for a short window each year — and missed immediately when it is gone.
