These innovative Cup Noodles not only provide a caffeine boost for late-night gaming sessions but also offer a unique sauced-based and soup-free design. This means you can enjoy your gaming fuel without worrying about messy hands or equipment. No more concerns about accidentally spilling hot soup on your controller, keyboard, or even worse, your lap.

The Nissin gaming Cup Noodles are scheduled for release on September 18. Initially, they will only be available in Japan. So, if you’re eager to try them out, either plan a visit to Japan or explore options for international ordering.
