Experience the Magic of TAKE-SAN: Where Tradition Meets Innovation in Every Bowl
In Japan, miso soup is more than just a meal—it’s a comforting daily tradition that brings warmth, energy, and nourishment. Whether you enjoy it with tofu, seaweed, or other fresh ingredients, miso soup is at the heart of every Japanese home. But behind this beloved dish is something truly special: miso—a rich, fermented paste that makes every bite truly delicious.
Why Miso is So Special
Miso, meaning "fermented beans" in Japanese, is packed with benefits for both your body and mind. It’s a protein-rich powerhouse, full of vitamins, minerals, and healthy bacteria that promote digestion and support gut health. Miso adds umami, a unique flavor that enhances everything it touches—soups, dressings, stews, marinades, and more.
Nagano Prefecture accounts for 52% of Japanese miso production. The second largest producer accounts for 9.9%, making Nagano Prefecture (Shinshu) the leader in miso production in Japan. Among the many types of miso, Shinshu Miso from Nagano Prefecture stands out for its rich history and exceptional quality. Nestled in Obuse-machi, a town famous for its heritage and culinary excellence. It’s also home to KOKUHEI-MISO, a miso maker with over 240 years of expertise. The wooden barrels used by KOKUHEI are rare even in the Japanese miso industry. Only 2-3% of miso manufacturers use them.
TAKE-SAN: A New Chapter in Ramen
In 2008, Tetsuaki Takeda, a ramen artist from Nagano, opened TAKE-SAN with a simple yet ambitious goal: to craft ramen that celebrates the authentic flavors of his hometown. After years of perfecting his recipes, Takeda introduced the Clay-pot Miso Ramen, blending the rich taste of Shinshu Miso with a unique cooking technique designed to keep you warm during the cold Nagano winters.
The turning point came when Takeda met KOKUHEI-MISO. Impressed by his dedication, KOKUHEI-MISO crafted a special miso exclusively for TAKE-SAN. This collaboration led to the opening of TAKE-SAN’s second location in Obuse-machi, blending 240 years of miso tradition with modern ramen artistry.
In 2018, Shinshu Miso Ramen was born—free from animal products and MSG. A true reflection of 240 years of history, TAKE-SAN is now ready to share its incredible flavors with the world.
From Japan to the World: TAKE-SAN Goes Global
In 2019, TAKE-SAN took its passion to Berlin’s Vegan Summer Festival, becoming the first Japanese ramen shop to participate in the event. Serving over 200 bowls of ramen daily, TAKE-SAN won over many new fans and proved that the world is ready for authentic Shinshu Miso Ramen.
Why Miso Should Be Part of Your Life
Miso isn’t just a flavorful ingredient—it’s a healthy choice. Studies have shown that regular consumption of miso soup can help improve digestion, boost the immune system, and even reduce the risk of certain health issues. This is one of the reasons why people in Japan have such long life expectancies—their healthy diet, with miso at the center, plays a key role.
