A bowl created over 48 years of history: Taikaiken's special soup

"More delicious." This motto has been the basis of the beloved ramen shop Taikaiken since it was founded in 1976. What is the reason that the shop started by the husband and wife founders in the small town of Moroyama-machi continues to attract so many customers? In this article, we will introduce the history of Taikaiken and their passion for making soup that has been loved for so many years.

Founding story: A challenge that began in a small town

Taikaiken was born in Moroyama-cho, a small town with a population of just over 30,000. The couple who founded the restaurant learned the recipe of Eifuku-cho Taishoken and, while using that taste as a base, added their own unique twists to it.

However, simply sticking to the recipes you were taught would not have been enough to achieve this success. The founder's passion for making food "even more delicious" has captured the hearts of many customers.

A commitment to ever-evolving soup

Taikaiken has particularly focused on its soup. While the soup is based on dried sardines, it does not rely on a single type of dried sardine, but instead uses a blend of multiple types, which helps to reduce fluctuations in taste due to the season or availability of ingredients.

Furthermore, the broth is well-balanced, with dried bonito flakes, pork bones, and vegetables added to create a unique flavor. We have continued to make efforts to reduce the odor while bringing out the full flavor of the sardines.

The reason why it has been loved for so many years

The reason why Taikaiken has been loved by many customers for 47 years is because it offers "unchanging deliciousness" while also pursuing "continuously evolving deliciousness". We have always sought ways to make our ramen more delicious without reducing the amount of dried sardines, and have gone through a process of trial and error.

The result is a flavor that anyone can easily enjoy, and it can now be enjoyed at home as frozen ramen.

summary

The reason why Taikaiken ramen has been loved for 48 years is because of the motto since the company's founding, "Even more delicious," and the spirit of challenge that is not afraid of evolution. The frozen ramen, which allows you to enjoy the same taste as in the restaurant at home, is a bowl full of history and passion.
