 햇반 출시 아이디어
<mark>햇반은 1995년 CJ제일제당이 상품밥의 신제품 개발을 위해 일본 시장에서 힌트를 얻어 아이디어를 구상했습니다.</mark> 일본은 우리와 식문화가 비슷하며, 당시 급증하는 전자레인지 사용과 1인가구의 증가를 눈여겨보며 개발 방향을 설정했습니다 [13] . CJ제일제당은 100억 원 규모의 투자를 통해 클린룸 및 무균 포장 설비를 구축하여 1996년 12월 국내 최초의 즉석밥 '햇반'을 출시하게 되었습니다 [10] [11] . 

 햇반 최초 출시 기업
햇반은 CJ제일제당이 최초로 출시한 제품으로, 이는 국내 상품밥 시장의 포문을 연 혁신적인 제품으로 평가됩니다 [14] [15] . CJ제일제당은 '햇반'의 출시를 통해 즉석밥이라는 새로운 개념을 대중에게 소개하며 성공적인 브랜드 신화를 시작했습니다 [16] .

 햇반의 제조 과정
햇반은 엄격한 위생 관리와 첨단 기술을 통해 제작됩니다. 먼저 선별된 쌀은 도정을 거쳐 백미로 만들어지고, 세척과 불림 과정을 거친 뒤 고온·고압 상태에서 용기 내에서 밥을 짓는 방식으로 제조됩니다 [18] [19] . 밥은 밀봉되어 무균실(클린룸)에서 살균되고, 냉각 및 품질 검사를 통해 이물질과 중량 오차를 방지합니다 [23] . 이러한 제조 과정은 방부제를 사용하지 않고도 장기간 보존 가능하게 만드는 핵심적인 기술입니다 [22] .

 햇반을 맛있게 먹는 방법
햇반을 맛있게 즐기는 다양한 조리 방법이 있습니다:
- **전자레인지 사용**: 기본적인 방법으로, 햇반 포장을 벗기지 않고 전자레인지에 약 2분간 가열합니다 [25] .
- **뜨거운 물 이용**: 햇반을 끓이는 물에 넣고 가열하거나, 물을 부은 후 2~3분 기다린 뒤 배출하여 조리할 수 있습니다 [24] .
- **간장 계란밥**: 햇반 위에 계란과 간장을 넣어 간단히 비벼 먹으면 풍미가 증가합니다 [28] .

- 오뚜기는 일본을 포함한 글로벌 시장으로 즉석밥을 수출하며 시장 확대를 추진하고 있습니다. 그러나 CJ제일제당은 일본 수출 대신 현지 OEM 방식으로 '햇반 컵반'을 판매하고 있습니다 [42] .
