On June 6, 2011, I opened my first RAKKEN Ramen restaurant in Nishi-Azabu, Tokyo. I have since started four RAKKAN outlets in Tokyo. I created an authentic Japanese ramen recipe with a broth of “Dashi,” a traditional Japanese soup stock bubbling with Umami.

With my passion to have the world taste some truly authentic Japanese ramen, I opened the first overseas outlet “RAKKAN | DTLA” in downtown Los Angeles in July 2017. Secondly, I opened “RAKKAN | Redondo Beach” on Pacific Coast Hwy, CA. in July of 2018. Thirdly I started “RAKKAN | Santa Monica,” in January of 2019, Fourthly I opened “RAKKAN | Long Beach,” in November 2020, Fifthly, I started our first out of state franchise “RAKKAN | Johns Creek,” in Georgia in January of 2021, For our sixth store I opened “RAKKAN | Houston Heights,” in Texas in May of 2021, and lastly I just recently opened our newest store “RAKKAN | Boulder,” in Colorado in July of 2021.
