A reuse idea from our community
Every now and then, a message lands in our inbox that makes the whole RAIJIN team smile. This is one of those stories—and it's too good not to share.
One of our frozen ramen customers, Veronica, wrote to us with a wonderful idea for reusing the insulated cooler packaging and ice packs we ship your ramen in. And honestly? We never imagined our cooler packaging could have a second life like this.
The insulated cooler packaging fits perfectly inside a grocery trolley.
The message that made our day
"I have ordered from you twice, as has my friend who I introduced to your company. I wanted to offer an idea for your next customer email:
It's a hot summer, and RAIJIN delivers frozen ramen in a very solidly packaged cold system that keeps everything icy. If you (or your neighbour, or your mom) use a grocery trolley/cart for shopping, the insulated cooler packaging fits PERFECTLY inside it. With the frozen ice packs added, you can create a very icy, cold portable cooler for grocery shopping—even on the hottest days. A great way to practice the 3 R's: reduce, reuse, recycle! Here are photos of how I used it, and how much of a life saver it's been during this hot spell."
— Veronica, RAIJIN customer
Why this means so much to us
Here's something we think about a lot: to get frozen ramen to your door still perfectly frozen—especially in the middle of a hot summer—we have to use serious, heavy-duty cooler packaging. Thick insulation, sturdy boxes, and plenty of ice packs. It's the only way to guarantee your ramen arrives exactly the way we'd want it to.
So when we see a customer give that same cooler packaging a second (and third!) life like this, it genuinely puts our hearts at ease. What a wonderful idea. Thank you, Veronica, for turning something practical into something clever—and kind to the planet.
With the ice packs added, it becomes an icy-cold portable cooler.
How to turn your RAIJIN cooler packaging into a summer cooler
- Save your cooler packaging. After your frozen ramen arrives, keep the insulated liner/bag and the gel ice packs instead of tossing them.
- Refreeze the ice packs. Pop them back in your freezer so they're ready to go.
- Line your cart. Slide the insulated cooler packaging into your grocery trolley or cart—it fits perfectly.
- Add the ice packs. Tuck the frozen ice packs inside to keep everything cold.
- Shop cool. Now you've got a portable cooler that keeps your groceries icy on even the hottest days.
Save the insulated cooler packaging from your order—it's ready for a second life.
It's a simple, brilliant way to practice the 3 R's—reduce, reuse, recycle—while beating the summer heat.

Yes, I reuse the insulated cooler bag too! We take it camping, and use it as another cooler inside the cooler, since the cooler always gets opened, the food outside gets eaten first and then the inside cooler stays cold longer for later consumption! The raijin ramen also doubles as ice packs for the camping trip! And saves us so much cooking time ♥️
