Background and Purpose
T-NEXT is a food content platform company with the vision of “bringing happiness to the world through food.” Our mission is to contribute to humanity by creating, expanding, and connecting food content across borders. Since our founding, we have acquired global licenses for many of Japan’s leading brands—including ramen, sweets, yakitori, wagyu beef, and curry—and have partnered with major companies around the world to localize these brands while elevating their value in each market. With “food content” as our core business, T-NEXT continues to create new possibilities for how people experience food, serving as a global platform that connects culinary value worldwide and contributes to the development of cultures and communities around the world.
Meanwhile, “Chuka Soba Tomita”—winner of Japan’s largest ramen event, The Ramen Japan Championship—has also achieved an unprecedented four consecutive victories at the TRY Ramen Awards, the most prestigious accolade in the Japanese ramen industry, earning its place in the Hall of Fame. Thanks to its unmatched popularity and reputation, the brand has maintained a 16-year collaboration with 7-Eleven Japan, in addition to numerous partnerships with other major corporations. Tomita is widely recognized as Japan’s top ramen brand and is now actively expanding through partnerships with leading international companies.
Against this background, T-NEXT has been promoting the global expansion of Chuka Soba Tomita, and is proud to announce the opening of “Taiban Ramen Tomita” inside Central World Shopping Center, a landmark mall in the heart of Bangkok.
Through the accelerated rollout of “Taiban Ramen Tomita”—a secondary brand of Chuka Soba Tomita tailored for Thailand—T-NEXT aims to meet the expectations of Thai customers while leveraging its international network and expertise to bring Tomita to even more countries, establishing it as a truly global ramen brand.
As a food content platform company, T-NEXT will continue expanding worldwide and aims to achieve a NASDAQ listing with a corporate valuation exceeding USD 100 billion (approx. JPY 15 trillion)—all while contributing to the happiness and well-being of people around the world.
