SHIGEMI KAWAHARA
TO SPREAD “SMILE” AND “ARIGATOU”
THROUGH BOWLS OF RAMEN
Ippudo was founded in 1985 in Japan's ramen capital of Hakata,
Fukuoka. Today, there’s over 220 Ippudo outlets all around the world.
Our founder, Shigemi Kawahara, sees the restaurant as a stage
where each employee plays a role like an actor. From cooking to
serving, every move is perfectly choreographed.
Kawahara holds a place in the Ramen Hall of Fame after winning
TV CHAMPION’S Ramen Chef 3 times consecutively, and is also
internationally renowned as the Ramen King.
IPPUDO’S COMMITMENT
Taste of tradition and innovation – in all IPPUDO’s ramen. IPPUDO keeps to the basics of Hakata ramen, but constantly strives to innovate.
