Butamen is a food product released by Oyatsu Company.

It's classified as a snack version of instant ramen.
Released by Oyatsu Company in 1993, it is an authentic tonkotsu ramen despite being a snack. It's a best-selling Japanese product that satisfies both children and adults with its taste and ability to curb minor hunger.

Although cheap like a snack, it's delicious and can easily satiate your minor hunger with just hot water, making it hugely popular among kids.

In recent years, it has also released a regular size (the same size as other typical cup noodles), as well as collaborations and products with potato chips.
