TOKYO -- Some of Japan's leading food brands are putting their money where Americans' mouths are with big investments in U.S. production.
The company behind Maruchan instant ramen, Toyo Suisan, will invest 3 billion yen ($27.3 million) by fiscal 2022 to add new lines at a Texas plant. This comes on the heels of a roughly 5 billion yen expansion there just completed in May.
