Many pro mahjong organizations have been swamped with new applicants after an important announcement was made at the start of the M-League 2021 season.
On October 4, opening day of M-League 2021, Nissin announced a contest in which the first player who wins a Chiihou will receive a lifetime supply of Nissin U.F.O. Yakisoba.
Right after the games finished, all the professional organizations began receiving calls. To join in with the hype, Nihon Pro Mahjong (NPM) has temporarily changed their name to Noodle-Paying Mahjong.
When asked why they decided to become a mahjong pro, one person responded, “With the current housing market and general cost of living, this is probably the easiest way to have food security.”
“These are the only noods that anyone will ever send me,” said another one man from his parents’ basement.
When we asked the company why they created the contest, they sent us this response:
As you can see by our 100% legal winning hand in the Tweet below, we just love mahjong and want to support M-League. It’s totally not because the M-League target audience is the same as ours and that we wanted to market our product to them at virtually no cost.
Doctors are reminding fans and players that too much salt, whether from the yakisoba or from your favourite team getting beat, can lead to high blood pressure.
