In Japan, there is a term called "autumn of appetite".
Here is the origin of this word.
There are many theories, but many foods are in season in autumn, such as chestnuts, sweet potatoes, pears, grapes, and rice.
It is said that the name "autumn of appetite" came about because of the availability of delicious seasonal foods and the idea that people instinctively increase their appetites in preparation for the cold winter.
And it is customary for each food product manufacturer to release new products during this "autumn of appetite".

“Rolling Up” can help with disaster preparedness.
The term "rolling stock" has been heard for the past few years.
We usually buy a little more food and processed foods.
This is a method of always having a certain amount of food stockpiled at home by buying new supplies as you use them.
The key to rolling stock is to stockpile as you consume in your daily life. Adding cup noodles with familiar flavors to this stockpile, alone, will give you peace of mind.

The Corona outbreak has had a major impact on the noodle industry in Japan.
Let's take a look at data from the Household Budget Survey (Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications) on monthly household expenditures.
The amount spent on "noodles" from March to May 2020 has increased significantly for three consecutive months, by more than 25%. Noodles, which can be varied in taste, appear to have been accepted as more people eat at home. With more time spent at home, demand for cup noodles, which are easy to eat, has similarly increased.
