Popular instant noodle manufacturer “Umakacchan” announced the release of a limited edition noodle packaging for students taking their entrance exams this year. From Dec. 17, the special noodles will be sold in limited numbers in western Japan only – including Kinki, Chugoku, Shikoku, Kyushu and Okinawa areas. The Umakacchan logo on the packaging is changed from “うまかっちゃん” to “うま勝っちゃん”, using the kanji “勝” meaning victory. The noodle packets also feature Chiume-chan, Dazaifu’s mascot, along with a good luck message, wishing students to pass their exams!
