The moment you put it in your mouth, a gentle flavor will spread throughout and a little later it will change into a rich and delicious taste. It was in the 1980s that Santouka took its first steps toward dominating the world and began to draw 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 strive and pour love into our ramen. In keeping with the spirit of Santouka at the time of its founding, they aim to be a ramen restaurant that will be loved forever by people around the world.
