T-NEXT Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Noriaki Takahashi; hereinafter “T-NEXT”) is pleased to announce that the second Thailand location of Chuka Soba Tomita (Address: Matsudo City, Chiba Prefecture; Representative Director: Osamu Tomita; hereinafter “Tomita”), winner of Japan’s No. 1 Ramen Championship, will open on July 30, 2026, at Megabangna Shopping Centre, one of Southeast Asia’s largest shopping and entertainment complexes, located in Bangkok.

Background and Purpose

Guided by its vision of “Making the World Happier Through Food,” T-NEXT is a food content platform company whose mission is to contribute to humanity through food content. Since its establishment, T-NEXT has secured global licensing rights for a diverse range of leading Japanese brands in categories including ramen, sweets, yakitori, wagyu beef, and curry. Through partnerships with prominent companies around the world, T-NEXT has successfully expanded brand awareness and enhanced brand value in local markets. With food content at the core of its business, T-NEXT aims to serve as a global platform connecting the value of food worldwide and expects to partner with hundreds of companies across various countries in the future.

Meanwhile, Chuka Soba Tomita was crowned Japan’s No. 1 ramen restaurant at the Ramen Japan Championship, one of the country’s largest ramen events. It also achieved an unprecedented four consecutive victories in the TRY Ramen Awards, one of the ramen industry’s most prestigious honors, and was subsequently inducted into its Hall of Fame. Its exceptional quality and achievements have earned widespread recognition both in Japan and internationally. Building on this overwhelming popularity and proven track record, the brand has collaborated with 7-Eleven on a range of products for more than 16 years. It has also undertaken numerous collaborations with other major companies. Widely recognized in both name and reputation as one of Japan’s leading ramen brands, Chuka Soba Tomita is currently developing partnerships with a number of prominent overseas companies.

Against this backdrop, T-NEXT has been accelerating the overseas expansion of Chuka Soba Tomita. In October 2025, it opened the first location of “Taiban Ramen Tomita,” the brand’s second concept in Thailand, at CentralWorld Shopping Center, a major shopping mall in central Bangkok. Since its opening, the restaurant has attracted long lines and received highly positive feedback from many customers.

Building on the strong performance of the first location, T-NEXT has now opened the second Bangkok location of Taiban Ramen Tomita at Megabangna Shopping Centre, one of Southeast Asia’s largest shopping and entertainment complexes, which houses more than 900 stores. T-NEXT will continue to accelerate the expansion of Taiban Ramen Tomita to meet the expectations of even more customers in Thailand. At the same time, by leveraging its international network and expertise, T-NEXT will expand the brand’s presence into markets around the world and develop Chuka Soba Tomita into a globally recognized ramen brand.
