Today we report on the Japanese Ramen franchise inspection tour we conducted for a client from France.

Ramen is very popular in France. However, not all stores are able to reproduce the authentic Japanese quality, and the client came to Japan in search of authentic Japanese ramen.

We organized a 3-day inspection tour based on their own research and information provided by Assentia Holdings.

The tour started in Hiroshima. The tour then visited Kyoto, Osaka, and Nagano.

The first stop was Hiroshima. BARI-UMA

The first stop was Hiroshima, the headquarters of Bari-Uma ramen.

Bari-Uma ramen has already started franchising overseas in 2012 and has opened more than 30 restaurants overseas.

Bari-Uma ramen is characterized by the fact that the soup is manufactured in Japan and transported to each country at room temperature. At the stores in each country, the soup is simply heated each time a customer orders it.

However, the noodles are made in the restaurant using a dedicated Japanese-made machine.

The second destination was Kyoto.

TENKA-IPPIN is one of the oldest and most successful ramen restaurants in Japan. Its unique, thick chicken broth has created a large number of lovers.

The third is ZAGIN in Osaka.

Here, the chicken soup is made into a creamy consistency using a machine. It has a unique flavor. The fried root vegetable called burdock gives the ramen a three-dimensional look.

One of the features of this restaurant is that all the staff members wear neckties. It is said that this is a system that creates pride in the workers.

The last stop was Nagano. TAKE-SAN

It is a town called OBUSE in Nagano Prefecture, known as the town where HOKUSAI lived.

There is a unique miso ramen restaurant, TAKE-SAN, in Nagano.

An old miso manufacturing company with records of HOKUSAI teaching painting. KOKUHEI, a 240-year-old miso manufacturing company, is one of the owners of TAKE-SAN.

The earthenware pots used for ramen are suitable for people who are not used to using chopsticks to savor warm ramen over time, as the ramen does not get cold easily.

Furthermore, after eating ramen, risotto using miso soup can be made in the same earthenware pot.

This is very rare and a one-of-a-kind style in Japan.

After four visits over the course of three days, French companies will make their final judgments on the ramen brands to be developed in their country from various perspectives.

We are looking forward to seeing which brand you will choose.

And in the same way, we can set up a ramen franchise inspection tour tailored to your wishes.
