Nissin collaborates with taxi app to introduce “Donbei Cabs”, offers users free rides this month
投稿日 2018年12月10日 11:00:27 (ニュース)
- Pickup locations must be within Shibuya, Shinjuku, Minato, Chuo and Chiyoda (though the destination can be anywhere.)
- A calling fee and normal cab fees will apply should the destination be out of the 23 wards of Tokyo.
- Donbei Cabs will deliver customers directly to their destinations, so no swinging by places of interest or stopping midway before resuming.
- Donbei Cabs cannot be flagged down, only reserved via the MOV app.

Reserve these cute cabs to pick you up from select areas for a free ride to any of the 23 wards of Tokyo.
Donbei, the udon branch of Japanese instant noodle company Nissin, can be rather adventurous when it comes to marketing their products, at one time even hiring artists to feature their products in glorious paintings.
And now in a move that will likely have everyone nodding their heads in approval, Nissin has teamed up with mobile game company DeNA and taxi reservation app MOV to bring us Donbei Cabs. These special taxis follow the motto of: “As long as there is a moon, these cabs will be absolutely free.”
The collaboration promotes their Tsukimi Soba (“Moon-viewing buckwheat noodles”) line of instant noodles, and is set to run from now until 31 December. Approximately 50 cabs will be driving around various Tokyo districts everyday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
▼ These adorable taxis will deliver you to any
of the 23 wards of Tokyo free of charge.
Reserving a taxi is as simple as downloading the MOV smartphone app and selecting “taxi companies” to check if a Donbei Taxi is available for hire in the neighborhood.
▼ After assigning the Donbei Cab a pickup location,
all you have to do is wait for the complimentary ride to arrive.
So what’s the catch? Honestly not much. There are only four limitations:
That means customers could travel from central Chiyoda to as far as western Nerima — a trip that would take up to 45 minutes and roughly 8,000 yen (US$71) — for absolutely free!
Donbei Cabs can be distinguished by the red car body advertising the company’s trademark Tempura Soba…
▼ …as well as the charming rooftop light, which features the Donbei symbol
and two corners of fried tofu made to resemble fox ears.

▼ Even the interior is decked out in splashes of red for that exclusive superstar feel.
▼ What’s more, all riders of these very special taxis will each be gifted with a Tempura Soba bowl from 26 to 31 December…
▼ …ensuring that you will not go hungry during this festive season.
You can access the MOV app in the Apple Store here (Japanese).
How awesome is that for an instant noodle promotion? Not only do we get to sit in an exclusive limited-edition cab for free, lucky customers can also enjoy complimentary bowls of delicious instant soba that can be enjoyed 11 different ways for maximum satisfaction.
