HOW THE SMALL BATCH SYSTEM PREORDERS WORK

CLICK TO EXPAND FOR MORE INFO

Every single order is sorted internally into a “batch,” which are assigned via the date of order or the quantity limit of that batch.

With that batch, you’re then able to see exactly what’s happening, what we’re waiting on, and the estimated dates of ingredient arrival, blending, sacheting, and final packaging before fulfillment.

If you have multiple orders across multiple batches, you’ll also now be able to easily see where they are, and the estimated time of completion!

Ramen as complex as ours, with all the specialty nutrition and real dehydrated ingredients in it makes it hugely important for us to order the right amount. Ordering ahead on upcoming batches means that you’ll be sure to receive that batch, and help us know how much to order!

We always strive to have extra in batches, but that may not always work out, especially in the case of specialty ingredients.

P.S. Please note that this system applies to our ramen, and not merch or other non-ramen products.

Oct 28, 2026 - The final parts of Batch 3 production are running a bit slower than expected - We have the majority of it sent out but the big exhaust fans in our production room decided to self-destruct (oh no), and an error in delivery for one of the ingredients needed.  We’re working on getting the fan fixed and the proper ingredients are already ordered, so it should be resuming shortly!
