Santouka

The moment you put it in your mouth, a gentle flavor spreads throughout — a little later it changes into a rich and delicious taste. It was in the 1980s that Santouka took its first steps toward dominating the world, drawing attention with its shio ramen served with a small pickled plum in a unique round bowl. Santouka started its history when founder Hitoshi Hatanaka said to his family: “I'm going to make delicious ramen.”

Now Santouka has more than 100 locations worldwide. Like food parents give their children, Santouka strives and pours love into its ramen. In keeping with the spirit of its founding, Santouka aims to be a ramen restaurant loved forever by people around the world.
