Current price comparison

At the prices recorded on 27 September 2026, every matched pair produces the same calculation. Twelve single cups cost ¥2,340. One 12-cup case costs ¥2,990, so the case is ¥650 more expensive. Its calculated per-cup price is approximately ¥249.17, or about ¥54.17 above the single-cup price.

This result reflects the two current Shopify prices only. It does not assume that the case includes a discount, and it does not include shipping, taxes or later price changes. Customers comparing basket totals should recheck the selected variants before ordering.

Inventory snapshot

The single-cup listing has 229 units across its six options. Meat Udon has the highest single-cup inventory at 49, while Curry Udon has the lowest at 19. The case listing has 150 cases: 50 Kitsune Udon cases and 20 cases for each of the other five options.

Single cups and cases are different selling units, so the two inventory totals should not be added and described as 379 cups. A case represents 12 cups, while one unit in the other listing represents one cup.

Manufacturer verification and product limits

Nissin's current Donbei catalogue includes the six product families represented by the Shopify option names. Official product pages also use 12-meal carton configurations for current Donbei products. However, Nissin sells regional editions with different soup, weight and labelling details.

The Shopify options do not identify a regional edition for every item. For that reason, this comparison does not assign East, West or Hokkaido specifications, and it does not reuse a regional product page's weight, ingredients, nutrition, cooking time or flavour description as though it applied to every YUBI100 option.

Which listing fits the purchase quantity?

The single listing supports one-cup purchases and mixing several types in one basket. The case listing provides 12 cups of one selected type. Under the current prices, choosing 12 separate singles of the same type costs less than the matching case, so the case should not be described as a bulk-value option without a future price change.
