Our ramen is made in micro batches by our small team in Wales. 

Matsudai exists because our ramen tastes amazing, so we never compromise on quality and flavour. We work with wonderful Welsh and Japanese ingredients, and we never add preservatives or stabilisers to our bone broth. You’ll find the full list of ingredients for each ramen on the product page. 

On the day it’s made, we blast freeze our ramen to lock in flavour and ensure quality.

Blast-freezing locks in flavour and is the best way to ensure the freshness, quality and consistency of our ramen, delivered across the UK. 

Designing our ramen kits to live in your freezer means greater flexibility and convenience for you, with flavour at home when you crave it, and quicker, easier assembly when you’re hungry.

Freezing kits is helping us bring our prices down, open more shipping days and expand our menu. It also makes our kitchen more sustainable, significantly reducing food waste and single-use plastic. 

Your kits will be built to order, each kit is one ramen. The kits are packed with ice, insulated and boxed. 

Your kits may defrost a little in transit. On warm days, we ship with extra ice but your ramen may rise to fridge temperature. You should still put your kits immediately in the freezer. We’ve worked with food scientists to ensure this is totally safe and never undermines the quality of our ramen. 

If your ramen is not chilled (if it is warmer than 8 degrees) when it arrives, somethings gone wrong in transit and you shouldn’t eat it. Please let us know and we’ll resolve this for you as soon as possible: orders@matsudai.co.uk

Store your ramen in the freezer. 

No matter when you intend to eat them, tonight, tomorrow, two weeks’ time, these kits are designed to live in the freezer, and they’ll be ready from-frozen in minutes. 

Please note that you should not freeze your ajitama eggs. Please see How do ajitama eggs work?

 

Ajitama eggs are delicious, free range soy-marinated eggs, adored by ramen lovers. 

We sell ajitama eggs as a fresh addition to your frozen ramen kits. 

We deliver our eggs with a minimum 5-day shelf life and they should be stored in the fridge. So order eggs with your kits if you intend to eat your ramen in the few days following delivery. 

Otherwise, you can make your own ajitama, using our recipe.
