Maruchan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maruchan (マルちゃん?) is a brand of popular ramen noodles. The name translates from Japanese into English as "little Maru." The suffix -chan makes the name into a diminutive, something that is commonly done with the names of children in Japan, whether male or female. Knowing this, the face with the silly expression, seen in the logo, must represent the boy "little Maru." The noodles can be found in a packaged form to be cooked on a stove, in a cup to which boiled water is added, or can be microwaved. It is a division of Toyo Suisan, a Japanese conglomerate.
Maruchan's Ramen noodles are made in Irvine, California and Richmond, Virginia.
