The owner’s father had operated a ramen shop for many years and he had been helping out since he was a teenager. Initially, he wasn’t interested and desired to be a salarynan and see and travel the world. After a while, he realized that that this career was not suitable for him so I¥he resigned from my position to work in a ramen shop.

I wanted to experience life as a salaried worker, I did this for awhile but I just wasn’t ready. Why do not you make customers happy by sending them yourself? I thought that I would like to do such work as well.

This video highlights the time, effort, hard work and skill to create delicious ramen and operate a successful ramen shop in Japan. Ramen is fast food to eat easily but the creative process is not easy at all.
