Summer special celebrates the convenience, quality and the creativity of Japan’s beloved convenience store tradition
In Japan, Konbini – the Japanese term for convenience stores – are a beloved part of everyday life, offering convenient, affordable and high-quality food options that go far beyond the traditional convenience store experience.
Unlike normal convenience stores in many other parts of the world, Japanese Konbini are celebrated for their thoughtfully prepared meals, wide variety of options and ability to deliver quality food for any moment of the day.
This summer, KINTON RAMEN is bringing the spirit of Konbini culture to guests across Canada with Summer Ramencation, a limited-time offering inspired by Japan’s iconic grab-and-go dining tradition.
“Konbini culture is such a unique part of Japan’s food landscape because it shows that convenience doesn’t have to mean compromising on quality,” says Alan De Luna, Senior Marketing Manager at Foodtastic, the parent company that owns and operates KINTON RAMEN. “It’s about creating everyday food experience that are delicious, accessible and thoughtfully prepared – values that align closely with what we strive to bring to our guests at KINTON RAMEN.”
From quick lunches and late-night snacks to seasonal favourites and everyday essentials, Konbini culture reflects the Japanese approach of making food accessible, enjoyable and memorable. Inspired by this tradition, Summer Ramencation invites guests to enjoy a taste of Konbini culture through KINTON RAMEN’s signature ramen experience.
The limited-time offering combines the comfort of a handcrafted bowl of ramen with the refreshing flavours of summer, giving guests a chance to discover a new food tradition while enjoying a familiar favourite.
The experience pairs perfectly with KINTON RAMEN’s summer beverage lineup, including seasonal favourites like Mango Lemonade and Lychee Iced Tea, offering guests a refreshing complement to their meal during the warmer months.
“Summer is the perfect time to explore new flavours and experiences,” says De Luna. “With Summer Ramencation, we’re excited to share a piece of Japanese food culture with our guests and create a fun, accessible way for them to experience the spirit of Konbini without leaving their community.”
Available for a limited time at participating locations across Canada, the Summer Ramencation combo is available now, priced at $14.99 and includes a ramen bowl, a side and a choice of one of KINTON RAMEN’s summer drinks or a Coca-Cola Family drink.
