We fell in love ramen from an early age.
Hearts' crazed addiction to ramen began 15 years ago with a porky bowl of tonkotsu in Nagoya, at one of the first branches of the famed Ippudo chain outside of Kyushu. He waited over 2 hours to eat. Having never before had such a burst of concentrated flavor, his opinion of ramen - and life - was forever changed.
Lum's bowl that started her love affair with ramen began at the age of five, when she was taken to the classic shoyu (soy sauce) shop Eifukucho Taishoken by her parents. Taishoken's scalding hot, fishy broth became a part of life, family, and tradition. Whenever she returns, it takes her back home.
Ramen is a meal that anyone can eat, in any form, in any season, and the flavors and experiences can always be new. But the best shops provide a passion and love for life that never changes.
We eat ramen to find this love. And we hope you can taste and feel this passion through this blog.
Now, itadakimasu!
