Shigemi Kawahara, the founder of Ippudo, is often dubbed as the Ramen King. Kawahara is a charismatic entertainer in the kitchen. He sees the restaurant as a stage where each employee plays a role, like an actor. From cooking to serving, every move is choreographed to perfect timing, even down to the moment when the staff bids a customer goodbye.

Kawahara’s reinvention of the Hakata-style tonkotsu (pork-based) ramen, with its signature delicate, creamy broth, earned Ippudo its global acclaim.

Ippudo was founded in 1985 in Japan’s ramen capital of Hakata by Shigemi Kawahara. There are over 80 stores in Japan, and globally in places such as New York, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, Sydney, Kuala Lumpur, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen. Beijing, Chengdu, Bangkok, Jakarta, and London. Ippudo has become the most popular ramen restaurant over the years.

Ippudo ramen is fuelled with innovation. With ramen of the highest quality, hospitable service with attention to detail and unique ambiance, Ippudo aims to create an exquisite and delightful ramen dining experience for its customers throughout the world.
