I must say that the Nissin Japan Meet The Manufacturer really opened some great doors for me – I’ve now done an MTM with Nissin Hong Kong, and today we start one with Nissin Thailand! This interview was conducted with Ms. Janenate Summasujritkul, Marketing Manager.
THE RAMEN RATER> Thank you for agreeing to this interview! To start, can you tell my readers about the history of Nissin Thailand?
NISSIN THAILAND> In 1994, JAPAN’s NISSIN Foods Products Company penetrated into Cup Type Noodles Market in Thailand. It is the joint-venture between Nissin Foods Products (Japan) and Thai Local Company Distributor.
In 2011, NISSIN has fully owned operated the business.
In 2013, NISSIN FOODS (Thailand) opened a new factory in Navanakorn Industrial Estate in Pathum Thani.
And NISSIN would aim for a different market and new products to help stimulate the market. The top quality of condiments and seasoning stay atop the noodles, helping it look appetizing and delicious. Consumers are able to quick satisfying meal, light lunch or snack. Our cup is good heat insulation can keep noodles and soup hot without the outside is getting hot.
TRR> What was the first product you made?
NISSIN THAILAND> In 1994, NISSIN has launched Instant CUP NOODLES BRAND and offered 3 flavors – minced pork, garlic pork & chicken and seafood.
TRR> Your company is located in Thailand. Can you tell us a little about your country?
NISSIN THAILAND> Thailand is located in Southeast Asia along the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand.
Bangkok is Thailand’s capital and largest city as well as is one of the top tourist destinations in the world. Thailand’s weather is generally hot and very hot so Thai food characteristic is chili-hot combined with some curries, fish sauce, citrus, and rice, and is known for having the perfect blend of sweet, spicy, sour, and salty flavors.

Our production achieved high-quality food products and also has quality control at every step, from flour input to the packaging of finished products.
TRR> A lot of people are concerned with their sodium intake. How would you recommend people enjoy your product as part of a healthy meal?

Yes, they do.
TRR> When you make noodles for yourself, what do you like to add to them to make them extra special?
NISSIN THAILAND> Some people made and added them some extra special by chopping up some vegetables such as bean sprouts, cabbage, or broccoli. Or even chopped up and throwing in some chicken or pork is a guaranteed. If you’re feeling lazy, adding a fried or boiled egg on the top of your noodles is an easy for something a little different.
Moreover, we have many ways to make instant noodles taste incredible by adding quick grilled items such as sun-dried squid, meats, or deep-fried snacks sausages form the mobile street stalls along the roadside shop.
