story
Menroku ramen started as a small store in Hirakata City, Osaka, Japan on 2016. With the original theme of finding the perfect combination between duck and ramen, the owner, Matsunaga-san, who has a slightly unusual background – trained at a ramen restaurant in his student days and later trained as a French chef – serves delicate and delicious duck ramen with carefully selected ingredients.
Menroku ramen has French elegance and delicacy but can be enjoyed as a popular dish. This is an exquisite balance that makes Menroku ramen very unique.
In 2018, Gion Duck Noodles, a second store based on the same duck ramen concept with only emoji was opened in Gion, Kyoto. This foreigners friendly new store goal was to share an authentic ramen experience to customers from all over the world. It became an instant success and due to its uniqueness, it is supported by many customers, has received high ratings on online restaurant review sites, has received numerous interviews on TV and magazines, and became Japan number 1 top selling stores in eating and drinking establishments category in 2023.
Since then, other stores are born but Menroku goal hasn’t changed – to introduce the authentic ramen experience to customers from all over the world.
Menroku ramen is designed for ramen lovers, but not only! We of course make Ramen the traditional way, but we want we to take our ramen to the next level to make our customers travel in a more intense and unforgettable experience.
