1. Ramen on the run
Yo-Kai Express debuted its ramen vending machine in 2018, and the company has expanded its product line over the years to include items such as mail-order ramen. Most recently, Yo Kai tested out a mobile, self-driving vending machine that will provide customers with ramen wherever they are.
In an interview with The Spoon, Yo-Kai Founder and CEO Andy Lin said that that the first version of the new mobile unit is on track to be finished late this year or early next, and the company is currently in talks to bring the machine to two University of California campuses.
